[HELP] Tasmota reset itself after a tripped breaker?

Most likely, the power outage triggered a ‘fast powercycle detection’

Look down at SetOption65

Implemented for situations where a device cannot be reset to firmware defaults by other means (no serial access, no button). It resets ALL Tasmota settings (equal to Reset 1 ) after 7 power cycles.

SetOption65 must be set to 0 (default) in order for this feature to be enabled.

Warning

If you have a weak power grid or frequent power brownouts its best to disable this feature with SetOption65 1 immediately or you’ll end up with firmware default devices after a brownout event.

Given this happened to ALL of them, I would assume this to be the case. So, all of your devices are probably reverted back to stock settings.

The good news is they are probably hosting their own wifi SSID so you should be able to connect to them and reload the configuration that I know you saved…right? Or you’re like me and forgot and had to set them all up again after the brownout…but you saved them this time, just in case.

And also disabled SetOption65.
