You have made too many requests to the TP-Link API. Maybe you have tried to log in too many times. Just wait up to 24 hours and the rate limit should be lifted automatically. ---

no, at least in my case waiting did not help, even with a week’s time between attempts. In the Windows-interface there is more trouble like an empty ‘New Devices Found’ popup. After removing my Tapo devices from Homey I could add them under iOS and after some additional server hick-up they were responsive for a short while and are now dysfunctional again. Not the kind of reliable performance one would want … ---

Look at my post under [Unable to add TAPO P110 plugs in homey - any tips?](https://community.homey.app/t/unable-to-add-tapo-p110-plugs-in-homey-any-tips/153746) I used the homey app on my PC and i used the TAPO app that uses local connections. Make sure thats installed on your Homey. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/b/db48f355317727c0f0c75b5561a31cc345e63eb1.png) I had to assign a static IP to the TAPO devices and then it seemed to discover them (after i provide what IP they were using) and add them to Homey. Havent tested out if it works yet. Regards, Marco
