Reading is more useful than wishing
Only I didnāt check which models are supported. So pls follow the link to see:
I actually use that app. But it does not support all my Kasa devices. But thanks for your input
Thats a bummer, sorry.
I used to use that app as well, but the firmware updates on my bulbs and the app no longer works.
Any updates on this?
No news and it looks, based on the original date, it will not be a solution.
I decided to return the product to Amazon and if they solve it, I will but it again
I do have an update! Weāve had a call with the development team at TP-Link and I can give the TDLR;
The TP-Link Kasa API currently relies on polling to retrieve updates from devices, meaning Homey must periodically check with TP-Link to get the status of your devices. While this method works, it leads to significant, often unnecessary, network traffic since Homey continues to poll for updates regardless of whether device statuses have changed. We have previously suggested to TP-Link that implementing webhooks would be a more efficient approach, where TP-Link would actively notify Homey whenever thereās a status change in a device.
Additionally, TP-Link has introduced their Tapo line of devices, which operates on a different API. Weāve now launched an official Tapo App and are encountering the same ārate limitā issues, despite assurances that this new API would prevent such problems.
In our meeting today, TP-Link announced their plan to offer a webhook-based API for their Tapo devices. This API will also support the older Kasa devices. However, before we can provide a definitive solution, our team needs to review this new API. After that, we will need to rewrite both the Tapo and Kasa Apps to utilize this updated approach.
It appears that TP-Link initially underestimated the impact our requirements would have on their API and is now actively seeking a solution. Please be assured that we are doing everything within our power to resolve this issue efficiently. TP-Linkās cooperation, however, has been less than optimal in facilitating this process
Iām very happy to see that this is being worked on so diligently!
I was able to turn 2 lights on and off about 10 times in a row and didnāt get the rate limit messages - seems pretty good to me
Not sure if there have been any further changes?
Has been pretty good up until about a week ago, seems to be mostly getting the rate limited again now
Could be that TP-Link has put the limits back in place, I unfortunately havenāt heard back from TP-Link in regards to the API. We are planning to transfer the Tapo App to the new webhook based API soon so hopefully that will also bring some good news for Kasa
I still get this error very regular
2024-06-05 10:06:10.678 [xavier] [INFO] Red Wine Fridge is now available
2024-06-05 10:16:09.046 [xavier] [INFO] Red Wine Fridge is no longer available [Rate Limited]
It lasted 10 minutes after becoming available again before it was rate limited again.
Or in the last 6 hours (for a single device)
You can see from the times - its very predictable I would guess related to polling.
Starting to happen to me but luckily I only have two plugs.
Looks like Iāll be throwing them in the bin as I cant see it being resolved if people have been talking about it for two years and its still happening.
@Doekse I can confirm this issue is not fixed
I have several power surge HS300 Kasa smart tp links and a few individual plugs
Itās about 8 in total and probably 60+ items plugged into them
I get random rate limits and need to relogin in honey when I see the red triangle then it goes away, but randomly will come back sometimes with no real understanding of why, see screenshot
Clicking try to repair usually resolves but doing this hourly or daily on many devices forcing my flows to stop working is really getting irritating
The issues with TP-Link remain unresolved. Despite extensive communication, TP-Link has stopped responding to our inquiries and doesnāt seem willing to address the problems.
Iāll explore whether LG has any additional contacts at TP-Link who can assist in resolving this.
Thank you, it is not really fair to list these devices as compatible if they are not functioning correctly, Iāve invested quite a bit because it is compatible with homey only to have this happen
Either delist them or resolve it but something needs to be done here , homey pro is way too expensive of a device to deal with this nonsense
If these issues persist, we are seriously considering delisting their apps until they are resolved. The downside, of course, is that all current users would lose access to their devices.
For now, we will at least remove their products from all of our Best Buy Guides, as we can no longer recommend them in good conscience.
Anyways; thanks for your input!
You can still try your luck with alternative, which do not rely on the TPLink Cloud - TP-Link KASA LAN App for Homey | Homey, HS300 is supported. But bear in mind, current support is rather limited and also I do not own those devices and itās depending on TPLINK Smarthome API, which did not receive much updatesā¦
Any news?
I get this error 3 times a week
