As the PR was merged now since a long time, is there any interest to maintain this version in the marketplace?
Or is there still a PR waiting for s review?

It’s still relevant for 3.2 installations. Also it might be new features become available and than these can be previewed here. I’ll add a text to indicate to inform from which version installing this version is useful.

Hi,

I just got a TP link Light Strip model KL420L5. I’ve tried the binding and have updated but none of the current addons will control that strip. Is this something that can be added, or am I missing something?

Thanks

You can most likely add it manually using a similar device such as the KL430 and get most/all of the functionality.

I think you only need to know the IP address to manually add a Kasa, but it’s been awhile since I’ve done it.

Hi Russ,

I did give that a try and both led strips listed but neither worked. I tried a couple of different naming conventions and ways. It just wasnt working out. I may just send em back and get one off the list.

Thanks

Can you run with log level set to trace? That way it will print out the json sent and returned to/from the device. If you sent it via direct message to me I can see if I can find why it doesn’t work and update the binding to add support.

Sending some now.

I am currently limited to running on a 2.5 system…is there any way I can add EP10’s, as it seems those models were added to a later 3.x version of the binding.

Can I create a manual thing?

Thanks,

Squid

You should be able to add it as any plug device, like hs100.

Hi Hilbrand,
Any chance you could add the Tapo range ( P100 , P110)?
( Might be rather via a tplink cloud connection that requires an authentication…? )
Thanks,
Peter

These are available via the Tapo control binding

Missed out that one apparently :smile:. Tx. :+1:

Does this marketplace version still add something more than the version in the 3.4 official distribution?
If not, I would suggest to unpublish it by removing the appropriate tag.
