I have NR running on a Cerbo GX device which is WiFi.
I have a Tasmota switch that is also WiFi.
I would like my NR flows to turn the Tasmota switch ON/OFF.
Do I need a third device to do this, or can I simply connect the Tasmota to the Cerbo GX WiFi (although the Cerbo GX is not a router)...
I'm guessing I'll need a router and maybe another device to run an MQTT broker or something?
Many thanks for any input.

There are basically two ways to achieve this.
1. use the http-API of the tasmota device - connect directly from a http-node from NR or install a tasmota package.
2. the Cerbo GX also runs a broker. You **could** make use of that and configure the GX as the broker in your tasmota device. Then use mqtt-nodes to control your device via NR.
For simple use cases and a few devices, I'd recommend variant (1).
For higher number of device, maybe in conjunction with a smart home EMS, like homeassistant, I recommend to use a separate device/server for a broker and EMS and not the GX.

I'm sure glad I asked, many thanks!
So if I put in the Cerbo GX's WiFi into the Tasmota device, it will connect to that WiFi even though the Cerbo isn't a router? That's the part I was missing.
I will study up on the http-API of the device and the http-node on NR. Thanks again, glad I don't have to buy a router!

How do you connect to Node-red on the Cerbo - is it using WiFi or Ethernet?
What device are you using to display the editor?

The Cerbo GX actually runs Node Red.
Then the Cerbo also has WiFi, although it's not a router, so I'm hoping I can just connect that Tasmota device to the Cerbo WiFi and not have to involve a router for the Node Red to control it, which thanks to the info above, sounds like I can.
I also have ethernet plugged into the Cerbo which becomes fiber which runs 700 feet away to my cabin into a WiFi router and I use my computer over the LAN to connect to Node Red editor on the Cerbo. But the Tasmota device is actually next to the Cerbo to control what I need it to control so I can't use the router in my cabin for that.

It seems unlikely to me & I don't think that's what @hominidae was suggesting you can do. (Apologies if I misunderstand.)
If the Tasmota device is wifi only I think you will need some sort of router or access point nearby.

What device converts ethernet to fibre? How many ethernet ports does it have?

The device is a fiber to ethernet converter, but it only has one port. The Tasmota device is WiFi only so if I misunderstood about the Cerbo connecting to the Tasmota directly then I will need to get another WiFi router anyway I suppose.

...with thee main network connection of the Cerbo being ethernet/LAN, you can use the WiFi of the Cerbo to create an AccessPoint
...it will not become a router nor will it form a bridge, like a regular AP would do ((I think), see: [7. Accessing the GX device](https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Cerbo_GX/en/accessing-the-gx-device.html#UUID-12ee0e7e-a2db-4c34-1ab3-db19636edc37)
The tasmota device then can connect to that AP...it should be receiving an IP via DHCP from either the Cerbo or your main Router, like your PC.
I never tried this.
Easier thing to do, as you have a LAN connection would be to add an AP with at least a two port LAN Switch. Simple ones are dead cheap...maybe a travel router, like models from [gli.net](https://www.gl-inet.com/products/) is a feasible option for you (Edit: some travel routers can be powered via USB and the GX has a dedicated USB PD port - normally used to power the separate touch screen)

Thank you again. I will try this and report back.

I was able to connect the Tasmota device to the access point wifi generated by the Cerbo GX with access point enabled.
I set the other LAN that I have been using to control the Tasmota device as the secondary wifi before doing this, in the hope that if I could not connect to it through the Cerbo's AP, that I could turn that AP off in the Cerbo and the Tasmota device would then switch back to the original WiFi I've been using.
Unfortunately the device just disappeared. I assume it WiFi connected successfully to the Cerbo's broadcasted access point, but then I was unable to reach the Tasmota device even after switching to the LAN connected to the Cerbo.
So I disabled the access point in the Cerbo, thinking the Tasmota device would switch back to the original WiFi router, but that didn't happen.
So I bought another WiFi router and I'll reset the Tasmota device and connect my Cerbo and Tasmota device together through the new router.
It was worth a shot anyway!

I ve a flow with much stuff inside but I think its better to post only parts of it (to much other stuff for switches inside):

It works fine the code is somehow .... let s say "grown" 😉
you need to enable the mqtt node.
you need to setup tasmota config like this or change mqtt in flow to make it work:

Got another router setup and it's all set. Now I just need to learn about using the "http-API of the tasmota device - connect directly from a http-node from NR or install a tasmota package" to get Node Red to talk to the tasmota device.

This package seems to support control via http or mqtt (only if you have a broker - do not "misuse" the cerbo for this, I'd recommend).

That HTTP Request Node looks like it will be money. I'll give that a try. Many thanks!

No doubt passing messages to and from Tasmota by HTTP will work.
Personally though, I would much prefer to use MQTT, even if I had no other broker available than [node-red-contrib-aedes](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-aedes) in Node-red.

here is the documentation with all commands. Http request or mqtt

Plenty of examples to.

That link you shared couldn't have made it any easier. Super simple. It's now working.
Thank you all for the information and help!
