Thanks for the app, @Jamison_Bennett! I tried it out with my switches at home (SG1016DE, SG105E, and SG108E), but they don’t seem to be connecting yet. I keep getting the message: “Connection Error: Unable to connect to the managed switch.”

I’ve also generated a diagnostic report: 257d1d0d-5a4d-42f8-bb29-112a0fe67a85

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks for asking on this. I suspect this may be a result of the hardware and/or firmware version on the switches.

I don’t know this for sure but after reviewing the release notes I suspect that the following following hardware and firmware minimum versions would be needed (you can upgrade firmware easily at Download for TL-SG105E | TP-Link):

I added the list of supported switches to this error message in v0.1.3. This failure is most likely the result of an earlier hardware/firmware version. Unfortunately until the login is able to authenticate, I don’t have a way to obtain the firmware/hardware version numbers. I don’t have a copy of all of the switches so I don’t have a way to add support for them.

Hello, thank you very much for your work.

I have a TP-Link TL-SG105PE with the following configuration:

  • Firmware Version: 1.0.0 Build 20220414 Rel.52733
  • Hardware Version: TL-SG105PE 2.0

Is it possible to help you to add it to the compatibility list?

Thank you

Edit : My sincere apologies, once the Maj firmware was in 1.0.0 Build 20230218 Rel.51084 I was able to connect.

Unfortunately, I do not have the power over ethernet hardware. So it would be a little bit difficult for me to integrate it. Of course, the project is open source so contributions are welcome.

Hi @Jamison_Bennett, I’ve just created a PR that adds support for (what I believe are) all older hardware revisions. In addition, I’ve included a couple of quality-of-life improvements, including:

  • An alarm_port_disconnected sensor capability per port that indicates whether a port is connected or disconnected
  • Device information such as hardware/software versions, IP address, and MAC address in the device settings
  • Custom device icons based on the number of ports
  • Flow cards with autocomplete support
  • Reworked pair and repair flows that show clear error/warning pop-ups instead of interrupting the flow

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for substantial contributions. I will review this PR soon.

Version 0.1.7 is now live and it includes these changes. Thank you!
