UBWH has developed an enhanced version of Tasmota with additional features making it better suited for use by IT professionals.
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are Internet-connected smart appliances.
Unfortunately, many IoT devices are controlled via a cloud server; commonly in China. Also, there is generally no way to control these devices using remote commands from (e.g.) a PHP script running on a separate computer.
Tasmota devices work differently; they are controlled via
- the built-in Web server GUI
- http URLs: e.g. http://My.IP.Address.com/cm?cmnd=Power On
- MQTT
- openHAB
- Many others...
Tasmota Plus has these enhancements over Tasmota.
