In my case, using MQTT you have 2 devices, 1 from Tapo (community) and 1 from MQTT. the tapo device control de device, the MQTT device is just for report looking like that : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f52b93a9a348d12a88d13a9d20b96be4354f98d.png) ---

Are there plans to get live power/energy data from a P110? Currently I get daily data via a Python script. ---

Is anyone else having problems with the Tapo app? It seems to have lost the connection to all my non-matter enabled Tapo devices. I have tried restarting the app, restarting the homey, deleting and readding the devices. When I try to add devices I get the error “fetch failed”. ---

I created this topic to have a place to complain about and make requests for devices in the unofficial Tapo app (and yes, I’m the developer) Getting started After you install the app go to the app’s settings and add the Tapo username and password. These are used to authenticate to the device. Wifi devices need to be on the same network with your Homey.

I am actually having problems with the official Tapo app, not the community app. It stopped communicating with existing devices. When I removed devices and tried to re-add them or tried to repair them I am getting the message “fetch failed”. I have a number of devices that I cannot add using the community app as they are not supported by that app. The 530 range of multi coloured bulbs, and the three in one plus usb powerboards. ---

I’m having the same issue. When I contacted the developer, he said the following “The app is not using a production API so it is not stable. Homey is currently communicating with Tapo to join the "_Talks_ with _Homey"_ program so that we can have a production connection.” Given the above, I’m confused how it can have official app status…… ---

Hi, maybe someone can help this nooby. I have two p115’s one i managed to add over the tapo official. But the other one i can not add. Sow i tought lets try this one from the community. The p115 have a fixed ip and are added in the tapo android app on the phone. But when i wanna add then on homey with the community app it does not work. It shows after adding a white screen but goes really fast back to the homecreen of Homey so i can not see an error. Anyone? 🙂 ---

I have to apologize right away, I am new to this forum. I just bought a Homey pro. I have a question about connecting a Tapo T310. I am unable to connect the Tapo T310 directly to the Homey pro. Is this not possible at all? Or do I have to buy a Tapo bridge? Will it work then? Thanks for the responses ---

I have a couple of C320 cameras and I have not been able to connect them directly to Homey. However what you might want to check is the integration through IFTTT. Install the IFTTT app and then you can do for example: - Send “person detected” event from Tapo to Homey and start any flow - Send event from Homey to Tapo to set the camera privacy mode on or off I am using a Pro version of IFTTT (34 € per year), so I am not sure if these are available in the free IFTTT or not.
