The issue with the Tapo API is that it’s rate-limited: only a certain number of requests are allowed within a given time. If too many calls are made too quickly, the API blocks responses. Normally, such limits apply per user, but in this case the restriction is applied at the integration level, which affects everyone.
To address this, I’ve released a new test version of the app: v2.0.0. This version introduces local connectivity, reducing dependency on the cloud and avoiding these API limits.
You can try it now by enabling experimental updates, or wait until it becomes available as a stable release.
I managed to log in to the Tapo app within Homey by not using the fill in password from IOS on my iPad but slowly typing it in and then waiting a moment before hitting ‘log in’. Somehow that worked and did not give me the message of ‘too many requests’.
My P115’s are now installed and controllable within Homey.
I now can login to TAPO app and add devices without any problems. Try the new test version 2.1.3. However I cant get any energy readings from my P115 into Homey?
