P110 via TapoControl provides unknown API error (-1)

hheckner · December 29, 2023, 9:06am

Platform information:
- Hardware: Synology: DS918+
- OS: Synology: DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6 / Docker
- Java Runtime Environment: irrelevant as I use docker with latest openhab 4.1
- openHAB version: 4.1
Issue of the topic: I get a “unknown API error (-1)” upon creating thing P110 (cloud bridget setup correctly and working)
Please post configurations (if applicable):
This is a completely new setup of openhab 4.1 on my synology docker as currently all attempts of migration from 3.2. to 4.1 failed (see other topic here: Upgrade from 3.2 to 4.1 -> web requests from local network to 8080 are denied - #34 by hheckner

I setup successfully the tapo binding:

I successfully added all 3 P110 devices via cloud discovery.

My assumption is that I recently did a firmware upgrade of the P110 to Version 1.2.3 Build 230425 Rel. 142542

and this causes the API problem

Why I am thinking this?
Because I had one P110 not yet upgraded and then the error was different:
After hitting save it said that for the given MAC adress of this very device I need to check the IP adress (which was obviously correct as I had it copied from the TAPO App on my iphone). After doing the firmware update (via TAPO App on Iphone) the same error unknown API -1 was returned for this device.

If logs where generated please post these here using code fences:

Hi,

check this thread [TapoControl] - Control Tapo Smart WiFi-Devices with Openhab - Official Support Thread - #339 by Bize

I guess this an solve your problem. I recognize that the new add-on package doesn’t include this change.

Here the linnk to the TAPO Bindung, there is also a description how to install.

hheckner · December 29, 2023, 10:33am

Thanks for your help. Is it a good idea to install OH3 versions to a OH4 setup?

Wolfgang_S · December 29, 2023, 10:41am

OH3 addons are not compatible with OH4 addons.
But follow the link it looks like the title of the directory is misleading.
The github directory contains 4.0 and 4.1 jar files.

KenkiCK · December 29, 2023, 5:28pm

Don’t mix any version ! I read your post in the other channel - it’s easy to setup from the scratch. I don’t understand your mapping with the old add-on folder - please remove all files before if you use a folder from 3.x. For me it sounds like a version mix can be the result.

best you setup a new Docker Container, install oh4 there and - if you have map pathes then map these from the new container in parallel - then restore a backup (what you take before with openhab-cli) into the new container. For tapo you must download the 4.1. version and copy the file in the (mapped) /usr/share/openhab/addons folder. Then you can follow the steps for the replacement of the binding.

But I’m not sure if it helps really :-/

Remark from 2023-12-31 : After restart the service I have the problem that I must remove the standard Tapo control again - I guess problem is that the binding has the same version like the standard add-on version. After I remove the standard binding, clear the cache and temp folder and reboot it works. Here Openhab pick up the tapo json file and works with this binding.
