[APP][Pro] Tapo (Official)

Effortlessly connect and manage your TP-Link Tapo devices with Homey and enhance your Smart Home experience. The Tapo App allows you to control and monitor your Tapo devices directly from Homey, including smart plugs, switches and lights. Enjoy features like switching devices on/off, measuring power usage and adjusting lighting - unlocking the full potential of your smart home.

Do note that currently not all Tapo devices are available through the Tapo API, e.g. camera’s, vacuums and sensors. We are working together with TP-Link to add support for these devices in the future.

:warning: Note: We’ve improved the app’s stability by adding a new system that keeps everything up-to-date automatically (webhooks).
To continue using the app, please log in again by repairing the device. (Device → Details → Settings [cogwheel] → Maintenance → Try to Repair).

The test version v2.0.0 of the Tapo app is now live and available for testing! This release introduces local API support, allowing your Homey to communicate directly with your Tapo devices without relying on the cloud.

You can optin through the app’s settings.

Bericht van Homey:

Hi Glenn,

Bedankt voor jouw snelle reactie en het doorsturen van de informatie en scherm afbeeldingen via het developers tools

We zien dat dit device een " customized " capabilty ID “meter_power_today”. Dit ID wordt door Homey zelf niet herkend. Homey gebruikt hiervoor een andere standaard namelijk: " meter_power"

Je zult contact moeten opnemen met de App ontwikkelaar van dit apparaat om deze te laten aanpassen. Dan pas zie je de waardes ook in Homey terug.

Is dit realiseerbaar?

Dit is bewust omdat Tapo alleen een dag totaal geeft en dus niet betrouwbaar genoeg is om toe te voegen aan Homey Energy.

recently i have been seeing some issues with p110 smart plugs. the error states ‘Device supports KLAP protocol - legacy login not supported’

i did install the test version 2.1.3, re-entered my credentials and checked the local option but still has the error. my p100 plug works fine in homey.

i unticked/disabled the ‘enable local api connection’ and my p110 smart plugs are functioning in homey. i suspect something must of changed on tapo/tp-link’s side @Koktail? i assume that the readings such as energy usage wont be as frequent to keep it stable?

I had been using a mix of this Tapo app with a Home Assistant provided device for each plug, using one for on/off commands and the other for the monitoring,

I noticed today that local auth was now available, so I switched to using that and then replaced all my previous devices with these. The good news is I can now have on/off control with the energy monitoring, which is much neater.

The problem I am having is the app is crashing pretty regularly. The app screen gives me the tooltip ‘CPU Warning Limit Reached’. The app then restarts, works for a while, then crashes again.

I have created a diagnostics report, the code it gave me is 7d997dd7-c08c-4237-a1c3-62dedbb04187
