NAME

Power::Outlet::Tasmota - Control and query a Tasmota GIPO configured as a Relay (Switch or Button)

SYNOPSIS

my $outlet = Power::Outlet::Tasmota->new(host => "mybridge", id=>1, username=>"myuser");
print $outlet->query, "\n";
print $outlet->on, "\n";
print $outlet->off, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

Power::Outlet::Tasmota is a package for controlling and querying a relay on Tasmota ESP8266 hardware.

From: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/#/Commands

Commands can be executed via web (HTTP) requests, for example:

http://<ip>/cm?cmnd=Power%20TOGGLE
http://<ip>/cm?cmnd=Power%20On
http://<ip>/cm?cmnd=Power%20off
http://<ip>/cm?user=admin&password=joker&cmnd=Power%20Toggle

Note: Any spaces or special characters must be replaced with their ASCII hex codes. You must precede each hex code with %. Most used ones are: space = %20, ; = %3B

If you have set a password for web user interface access, this must be included (in plaintext) in the URL of the HTTP request, like so:

http://<ip>/cm?&user=<username>&password=<password>&cmnd=Power%20On

Example:

Query default relay

$ curl http://tasmota/cm?cmnd=POWER
{"POWER1":"ON"}

Toggle (Switch) relay 4

$ curl http://tasmota/cm?user=foo;password=bar;cmnd=POWER4+TOGGLE
{"POWER4":"OFF"}

Turn ON relay 2

$ curl http://tasmota/cm?user=foo;password=bar;cmnd=POWER2+ON
{"POWER2":"ON"}
