Convert, backup and restore configuration data of devices flashed with Tasmota firmware.
If you like decode-config give it a star or fork it and contribute:
In comparison with the Tasmota build-in "Backup Configuration" / "Restore Configuration" function the decode-config tool:
Comparing backup files created by decode-config and .dmp files created by Tasmota "Backup Configuration" / "Restore Configuration":
| Configuration | decode-config JSON file | Tasmota *.dmp file |
|---|---|---|
| encrypted | No | Yes |
| readable | Yes | No |
| editable | Yes | No |
| batch processing | Yes | No |
| Backup/Restore subsets | Yes | No |
decode-config is compatible with all Tasmota versions, starting from Tasmota v5.10.0 up to the current one.
Using the latest development version of decode-config is only necessary if you also use the latest development version of Tasmota.
To use decode-config.py you can install it using Python environment and following the Installation section below.
Alternatively you can download a ready-made binary from Releases to use it without installing Python.
decode-config.py needs an installed Python environment - (see Prerequisite).
After you have installed your Python environment, there are two ways to install deocde-config:
pip install decode-config
The program does not have a graphical user interface (GUI), you have to run it from your OS command line using program arguments - see Usage for more details.
This is only necessary if you want to run decode-config.py from development branch. First install the required modules manually
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
After that you can use the Phython script decode-config.py as normal program:
decode-config.py
Since decode-config.py is a Python program, it requires an installed Python environment.
Install Python 3.x and Pip:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
Install Python 3.x for Windows as described
Install Python 3.x for macOS as described
For an overview start the program without any parameter and you will get a short help:
decode-config.py
This prints a short help:

For advanced help run decode-config with parameter --full--help or -H. This will print a Program parameter.
Note
If you're missing older parameters, don't worry, they're still there (see Obsolete parameters).
To get a program result, pass at least a Tasmota source from which you want to read the configuration data.
The Tasmota source determines where the configuration data should be loaded from and saved to. A source can be an offline file or an online Tasmota device accessed via HTTP or indirectly via MQTT.
Use --source parameter to determine the configuration data source:
Source is a Tasmota configuration file (having extension .dmp).
Pass the filename direclty or encoded as a file-URL:
decode-config --source tasmota-4281.dmp
decode-config -s file://path/to/tasmota-4281.dmp
Source is an online HTTP connection to a running Tasmota device. To use this source, decode-config must have access to the network on which Tasmota is running, Tasmota Webserver running in admin mode (WebServer 2) is mandatory.
Specify the hostname, IP o or http-url of the Tasmota device.
An optionally required HTTP password, username and different HTTP port of the device can be specified via URL or separately via --username, --password and --port
decode-config --source tasmota-4281
decode-config -s 192.168.10.92
decode-config --source http://tasmota-4281 --password myPaszxwo!z
decode-config --source http://admin:myPaszxwo!z@tasmota-4281:8000
decode-config --source http://admin:myPaszxwo!z@tasmota-4281/cs?
An appended HTTP path (here "/cs?") is ignored.
Source is a MQTT server and topic where an online Tasmota device is connected to. To use this source, decode-config does not need to have access to the same network that Tasmota is running on, it just needs access to the MQTT server that Tasmota also uses.
Specify the hostname or IP of the MQTT server (possibly also specify username and password for the MQTT server) and the Tasmota MQTT topic. The decode-config connection to MQTT server also allows SSL/TLS connection.
The MQTT username and password must be encoded within the URL (the parameter --password can not be used for that, it has a different function here).
If the username/password combination for the decode-config MQTT connection is different from the one used by Tasmota itself (Tasmota command MQTTPassword), the Tasmota MQTT password must be specified via the --password parameter.
The Tasmota topic can be specfied either within the URL path component or using optional --fulltopic parameter.
The topic must be the full topic of the Tasmota device without any trailing command or result part. You can use any of the prefixed topic (cmnd, stat or tele topic) or use the placeholder %prefix% for it, example
%prefix%/tasmota-4281 or tele/tasmota-4281 are valid topics
cmnd/tasmota-4281/POWER or tele/tasmota-4281/STATE are invalid topics due to the trailing part.
For SSL/TLS connection to MQTT server use mqtts:// URL scheme.
decode-config --source mqtts://mybroker.example.com/%prefx%/tasmota-4281
decode-config --source mqtts://mybroker.example.com:8883/tele/tasmota-4281
decode-config --source mqtts://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com --fulltopic tele/tasmota-4281
decode-config --source mqtts://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com/tele/tasmota-4281 --password myTasmotaMQTTPaszxwo!z
For own certifications use the parameters --cafile, --certfile and --keyfile. To suppress certification verification use --insecure.
For none SSL/TLS connection to MQTT server use mqtt:// URL scheme.
decode-config --source mqtt://mybroker.example.com/%prefx%/tasmota-4281
decode-config --source mqtt://mybroker.example.com:1883/tele/tasmota-4281
decode-config --source mqtt://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com --fulltopic tele/tasmota-4281
decode-config --source mqtt://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com/tele/tasmota-4281 --password myTasmotaMQTTPaszxwo!z
All basic examples above will output a readable configuration in JSON-format, e.g.:
{"altitude": 112, "baudrate": 115200, "blinkcount": 10, "blinktime": 10,...
"ws_width": [1, 3, 5]}
Note
The json names (like"altitude"or"blinktime"are internal names from Tasmotas settings.h STRUCTSettingsand are not the same as known from Tasmota web-console commands. However, since most variable names are self-describing, the functional meaning should be given in most cases.
The default JSON output can be formatted for better reading using the --json-indent <n> parameter:
decode-config --source tasmota-4281 --password "myPaszxwo!z" --json-indent 2
This will print a pretty better readable format and the example above becomes:
{
"altitude": 112,
"baudrate": 115200,
"blinkcount": 10,
"blinktime": 10,
...
"ws_width": [
1,
3,
5
]
}
Because the number of parameters are growing, it would be difficult to enter all these parameters again and again. In that case it is best to use a configuration file that contains your standard parameters and which we then have to specify as the only additional parameter.
Program parameter starting with -- (eg. --username) can be set into such a configuration file. Simply write each neccessary parameter including possible value without dashes into a text file. For a better identification of this file, extension .conf is recommended:
Writing all the previous used device parameter in a file, create the text file my.conf and insert:
[source]
username = admin
password = myPaszxwo!z
[JSON]
json-indent 2
Hint
Group names enclosed in square brackets [ ], like[source]in the example, are optional and ignored - you can use them to increase readability.
Now we can use it with -c parameter:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281
Note
For further of parameter file syntax see https://pypi.org/project/ConfigArgParse).
If parameters are specified in more than one place (parameter file and command line), the commandline parameters will overrule the file parameters. This is usefull if you use a basic set of parameters and want to change parameter once without the need to edit your configuration file:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 --json-indent 4
Here JSON will be output with indent of 4 spaces instead of the 2 set from my.conf-
To save data from a device or *.dmp file into a backup file, use --backup-file <filename>.
You can use the following placeholders within filenames:
Example:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 --backup-file Config_@d_@v
This will create a file like Config_Tasmota_14.3.json (the part Tasmota and 14.3 will choosen related to your device configuration).
The --backup-file parameter can be specified multiple times to create different backup with different names and/or different formats at once:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 -o Config_@d_@v -o Backup_@H.json -o Backup_@H.dmp
creates three backup files:
Config_Tasmota_14.3.json using JSON formatBackup_tasmota-4281.json using JSON formatBackup_tasmota-4281.dmp using Tasmota configuration file formatReading back a previously saved backup file, use the --restore-file <filename> parameter.
To restore the previously save backup file Config_Tasmota_14.3.json to device tasmota-4281 use:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 --restore-file Config_Tasmota_14.3
Restore operation also allows placeholders @v, @d, @f, @h or @H like in backup filenames so we can use the same naming as for the backup process:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 --restore-file Config_@d_@v
Note
Placeholders used in restore filenames only work as long as the underlying data of the device has not changed between backup and restore, since decode-config first read them from the config file or the device to replace it.
If you use the default JSON format for backup files you can also use files containing a subset of configuration data only.
Example: You want to change the data for location (altitude, latitude, longitude) only, create a JSON file location.json with the content
{
"altitude": 0,
"latitude": 48.85836,
"longitude": 2.294442
}
Set this location for a device:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 -i location
Note
When using JSON subsets on ESP32 chip types, always keep the keyconfig_versionin the JSON data, otherwise an error will occur stating that the file is for ESP82xx.
Hint
Keep the JSON-format valid e.g. when cutting unnecessary content from a given JSON backup file, consider to remove the last comma on same indent level:
Invalid JSON (useless comma in line 3:...2.294442,):{ "latitude": 48.85836, "longitude": 2.294442, }valid JSON:{ "latitude": 48.85836, "longitude": 2.294442 }
Using subsets of data JSON files are powerfull possibilitiy to create various personal standard configuration files that are identical for all your Tasmota devices and that you can then reuse for newly configure Tasmotas.
File extensions are selected based on the file content and / or the --backup-type parameter. You don't need to add extensions to your file:
.dmp, .bin or .json is used depending on the selected backup type--backup-type parameter and the selected file name has one of the standard extensions .dmp, .bin or .json, the backup type is set based on the extension.If you use your own extensions, deactivate the automatic extension using the --no-extension parameter and use the optional --backup-type parameter if neccessary.
Examples:
decode-config --source tasmota-4281 --backup-file tasmota-4281.bindecode-config --source tasmota-4281 --backup-type bin --backup-file tasmota-4281tasmota-4281.bin is created.decode-config --source tasmota-4281 --restore-file tasmota-4281.jsondecode-config --source tasmota-4281 --restore-file tasmota-4281tasmota-4281.json will tried to restore (remember --backup-type json is the default)decode-config --source tasmota-4281 --no-extension --restore-file tasmota-4281tasmota-4281 does not exist anddecode-config --source tasmota-4281 --no-extension --backup-file tasmota-4281tasmota-4281 (without the extension).To test your parameter append --dry-run:
decode-config -s tasmota-4281 -i backupfile --dry-run
This runs the complete process but prevent writing any changes to a device or file.
Output to the console screen is the default when calling the program without any backup or restore parameter.
Screen output is suppressed when using backup or restore parameter. In that case you can force screen output with --output.
The console screen output supports two formats:
The default console output format is JSON (optional you can force JSON backup format using --output-format json).
Example:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 --group Wifi
will output data like
{
...
"hostname": "%s-%04d",
"ip_address": [
"0.0.0.0",
"192.168.12.1",
"255.255.255.0",
"192.168.12.1"
],
"ntp_server": [
"ntp.localnet.home",
"ntp2.localnet.home",
"192.168.12.1"
],
"sta_active": 0,
"sta_config": 5,
"sta_pwd": [
"myWlAnPaszxwo!z",
"myWlAnPaszxwo!z2"
],
"sta_ssid": [
"wlan.1",
"my-wlan"
],
"web_password": "myPaszxwo!z",
"webserver": 2
...
}
This also allows direct processing on the command line, e.g. to display all ntp_server only
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 | jq '.ntp_server'
outputs
[
"ntp.localnet.home",
"ntp2.localnet.home",
"192.168.12.1"
]
Hint
JSON output contains all configuration data as default. To filter the JSON output by functional groups, use the-gor--groupparameter.
decode-config is able to translate the configuration data to (most all) Tasmota web commands. To output your configuration as Tasmota commands use --output-format command (or the short form -T cmnd).
Example:
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-4281 --group Wifi --output-format cmnd

Note
A very few specific commands are unsupported. These are commands from device-specific groups which are very dependent on the Tasmota program code whose implementation is very complex to keep in sync on Tasmota code changes - see also Generated Tasmota commands.
Because individual Tasmota commands such as SetOption, WebColor etc. are often repeat themselves and might want to be used together, commands of the same name can be summarized using the Tasmota Backlog command. The decode-config parameter --cmnd-use-backlog enables the use of Tasmota Backlog.
With the use of --cmnd-use-backlog our example configuration

--cmnd-use-backlog gets really interesting for SetOptionxx, WebSensorxx, Sensorxx, Memxx, Gpioxx and more...
The huge number of Tasmota configuration data can be overstrained and confusing, so the most of the configuration data are grouped into categories.
Filtering by groups affects the entire output, regardless of whether this is the screen or a json backup file. The output of a dmp or bin file cannot be filtered. These binary file types must always contain the entire configuration.
The following groups are available: Control, Display, Domoticz, Hdmi, Internal, Knx, Light, Management, Mqtt, Power, Rf, Rules, Sensor, Serial, Setoption, Settings, Shutter, System, Telegram, Timer, Usf, Wifi, Zigbee
These are similary to the categories on Tasmota Command Documentation.
To filter outputs to a subset of groups, use the -g or --group parameter, concatenating the groups you want, e. g.
decode-config -s tasmota-4281 -c my.conf --output-format cmnd --group Control Management MQTT Wifi
These examples use an online Tasmota device accessed over HTTP. The hostname of the Tasmota device is tasmota-2f5d44-4281
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-2f5d44-4281 --backup-type dmp --backup-file Config_@d_@v
decode-config -c my.conf -s tasmota-2f5d44-4281 --backup-file Config_@d_@v.dmp
decode-config -c my.conf -s http://tasmota-2f5d44-4281 --restore-file Config_@d_@v.dmp
These examples use an online Tasmota device that is accessed indirectly via MQTT.
In these examples, the MQTT server parameters are the same as those used by Tasmota itself:
mybroker.example.commqttusermyBrokerPaszxwo!ztele/tasmota_2F5D44MQTT server uses a non default port 42110
decode-config -s mqtt://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com:42110/tele/tasmota_2F5D44 --backup-file Config_2f5d44-4281.json
Limit the configuration data to the groups Control, Management and SetOption
decode-config -s mqtts://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com --fulltopic tele/tasmota_2F5D44 --backup-file Config_2f5d44-4281.json -g Control Management SetOption
decode-config -s mqtts://mqttuser:myBrokerPaszxwo!z@mybroker.example.com/tele/tasmota_2F5D44 --restore-file Config_2f5d44-4281.json
Linux
for device in tasmota1 tasmota2 tasmota3; do ./decode-config -c my.conf -s $device -o Config_@d_@v; done
under Windows
for device in (tasmota1 tasmota2 tasmota3) do decode-config -c my.conf -s %device -o Config_@d_@v
will produce JSON configuration files for host tasmota1, tasmota2 and tasmota3 using friendly name and Tasmota firmware version for backup filenames.
decode-config handles the following three file formats for backup and restore:
This is the original format used by Tasmota (created via the Tasmota web interface "Configuration" / "Backup Configuration" and can be read in with "Configuration" / "Restore Configuration". The format is binary encrypted.
This file format can be created by decode-config using the backup function (--backup-file <filename>) with the additional parameter --backup-type dmp.
This format uses the JSON notation and contains the complete configuration data in plain text, human readable and editable.
The .json format can be created by decode-config using the backup function (--backup-file <filename>) (for better identification you can append the optional parameter --backup-type json, but that's optional as json is the default backup format).
In contrast to the other two binary formats .dmp and .bin, this type of format also allows the partial modification of configurations.
Note
The keys used within the JSON file are based on the variable names of Tasmota source code in settings.h so they do not have the same naming as known for Tasmota web commands. However, since the variable names are self-explanatory, there should be no difficulties in assigning the functionality of the variables.
This format is binary with the same structure as the .dmp format. The differences to .dmp are:
The .bin format can be created by decode-config using the backup function (--backup-file <filename>) with the additional parameter --backup-type bin.
This format is actually only used to view the configuration data directly in binary form without conversion.
It is hardly possible to change the binary data, since a checksum is formed over the data and this would have to be calculated and adjusted in case of any change.
For better reading each short written parameter using a single dash - has a corresponding long version with two dashes --, eg. --source for -s.
Note: Not even all double dash -- parameter has a corresponding single dash one - but each single dash variant has a double dash equivalent.
A short list of possible program args is displayed using -h or --help.
For advanced help use parameter -H or --full-help.

The arguments -s <filename|host|url> must be given.
Args that start with '--' (eg. -s) can also be set in a config file (specified via -c).
Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax
at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg is specified in more than one place, then
commandline values override config file values which override defaults.
Note
If you miss parameters here that are already in use, don't worry, they are still there.
For details see Obsolete parameters
Hostname <host> command (defaults to %s-%04d). It will not use the network hostname of your device because this is not available when working with files only (e.g. --source <filename> as source).
To prevent having an useless % in your filename, @h will not replaced by hostname if this contains '%' characters.<hostname>, <ip>, <url>); it will not work when using a file as source (<filename>)The parameters listed here continue to work and are supported, but are no longer listed in the parameter list:
The following source selection parameters are completely replaced by a single used -s or --source parameter; use -s or --source with a http-url:
