Support for Tapo L630 #40

Closed veniplex closed 5 months ago

veniplex commented 1 year ago

Is there any hope to support Tapo L630 any time soon? It looks like it is nearly the same as L530E. I would add this model by my own if I understand the code - but I would need a lot of time to get into it. So is there maybe a fast way to add support for this model?

Thank you by the way for this great plugin! I appreciate it.

Hello @veniplex. Have you tried setting it up as an L530? If the use the same API, which they probably do, it should work.

I have tried it but it didn't work. I will try to adjust a few settings and try it again. I will reply later with the outcome.

Ok @apatsufas I did set it up now as:

  1. 'Light' -> It recognizes the manufacturer "TP-Link", model "Tapo L530E", firmware "1.4.17" and as serial number "Default-SerialNumber".
  2. 'Colorlight' -> It recognizes the manufacturer "TP-Link", model "Tapo L530", firmware "1.4.17" and as serial number "Default-SerialNumber".
  3. Interestingly I can also see a "ghost Tapo device" which is there since the last few updates. It was a pug before I renamed it. Bit it doesn't disappear...

I did also recognize that I have to restart homebridge sometimes several times until the login to Tapo is working.

Any ideas?

@veniplex about 3 you should remove cached accessories from the Homebridge settings. This should remove the ghost device. Regarding the login, I really don't know. Maybe a network issue? I have currently an 530 bulb and 2 P100 plugs and an P110 plug which all work without any mayor issue.

@apatsufas I removed cached accessories but it still does not work. Can we add support for it? I would like to help but I need a starting point. Until now I never prorgammed anything for homebridge.

@veniplex if it doesn't even turn on or off then it is probably using a very different api as the L530. If I find some time I will look around if any Home Assistant plug-in has support for this particular bulb and also check the Android Tapo app apk to see if I can find something there.
