separate auth for power control #127

Closed devZer0 closed 5 years ago

devZer0 commented 5 years ago

Have you look for this feature in other issues and in the wiki? yes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. you can only control power on/off without auth or with admin-password - but both also allows administration of the tasmota device.

Describe the solution you'd like i'd like a separate authentication/user for power control, i.e. administration of the device and usage of the device should be separate things

Describe alternatives you've considered i have asked in the upstream project if this feature would be possible but the project denied that such feature woud be accepted/implemented. this is why i'm asking here.

Hi, I fear it's not possible if arendst refused it. As workaround, you can put webserver in user mode, this remove all administration options. Command is: WebServer 1 To come back to full webserver mode, you must launch command from mqtt: WebServer 2

Yes, agree. From the current limitation of memory it does not make sense to have 2 users. My suggestion anyway is to use MQTT and shut down the webinterface completly. The. You can control access though your home automation software.
