Tasmota Plus
Remote AC Power Control
1 or 4 sockets
UBWH has developed an enhanced version of Tasmota with additional features making it better suited for use by IT professionals.
Why Tasmota?
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=Power1 On
- MQTT
- openHAB
- Many others…
Why Tasmota-Plus?
This table summarises the differences between normal Tasmota and Tasmota-Plus.

Solar-powered Airmax Solution for a hard-to-reach customer
"Nestled in between two granite hills, we tried to find a solution to offer a wireless link to the location. It wasn't that easy!

Online Training
The new UNMS Course has been added.
In a world's first, Online training (developed in Australia) is now available for the Ubiquiti products shown.
You benefit in a number of ways:
- Cheaper - than attending a formal 2-day course in a classroom environment.
- Faster - no need to wait until the next classroom course is scheduled nearby.
- More convenient - the self-paced courses can be scheduled around other demanding work.
- More practical - the Ubiquiti classroom courses are great for students needing to delve deep into theory such as Radio Waves, Antenna design, TDMA protocols, Link-Budgets, UniFi-WiFi site surveys, etc. But in many cases, students just want to know how to setup some very common scenarios. These Installer courses are targeted with less theory and more practice.
The way each course works is ... each student:
- signs up and receives by email a set of detailed course notes. These can be kept as a reference document for use later on-the-job.
- is allocated real test hardware for 7 days. This is hardware the student gets to configure (over the Internet).
- passes an online quiz for each module. When all module quizzes have been passed, the student gets emailed a Certificate of Completion.
