TapoControl Binding configuration

[banzaay]

Hi all,

I have installed Tapo bindig and I have configured it using the example provided in the TapoControl Bindig page.

This is my tapocontrol.thigs:

tapocontrol:bridge:myTapoBridge						"Tapo Cloud-Login"				[ username="xxx@xxx.com", password="PWD" ]
tapocontrol:P100:myTapoBridge:smartPlug1			"Tapo SmartPlug1"				[ ipAddress="192.168.1.60", pollingInterval=30 ]

Ad this is my tapocontrol.items:

Switch		TapoSmartPlug1			"Tapo P100 Smart Plug  [%s]"				{ channel="tapocontrol:P100:myTapoBridge:smartPlug1:actuator#output" }

From the UI I can se that my item TapoSmartPlug1 don’t have bridgeUID set.
I have this error in the log file:

How can I set it from the config file ?

Thanks

I had the same issue.
For me a Bridge added via UI and things added via .things file work.
I suggest to move the discussion to the Add-On topic:

[TapoControl] - Control Tapo Smart WiFi-Devices with Openhab - Official Support Thread

Hey yes i updated the .thing file with the bridge in socket and added the bridge. The bridge goes online when i add them from UI or from .thing file. When i add the bridge via UI, the sockets are found via discovery. i add them and add the IP dress, but then they say “login ERROR” I even restarted OH after every change from .thing file to UI Edit: After updating to OH 3.2.0 M5 the sockets added via UI are now online, but textual things still do not work. The UI says in this case, that there …

tapocontrol:bridge:myTapoBridge           "Cloud-Login"               [ username="e-@mail.com, password="Super Safe Password", cloudDiscovery=true ]

The Tapo Things i added via UI, as this was the only way to get them online, the items i created again via file:

Switch Tapo1 "Tapo 1" <poweroutlet_eu> ["Light", "Switch"] {channel="tapocontrol:P100:myTapoBridge:6C5AB0BB74A5:actuator#output"}
Switch Tapo2 "Tapo 2" <poweroutlet_eu> ["PowerOutlet"] {channel="tapocontrol:P100:myTapoBridge:6C5AB0BB88CE:actuator#output"}
