can't get it to work

[anzgar01]

Hi, sorry but I just don't get it :-( What do I need to do to switch on and off a P100? I tried to copy the example into a python script and changed user, password and IP. I do get information from the device, but how on earth do I switch it on or off? Thanks a lot!!

Did you find answer to this?

Well, I did get it to work after a hundred tried, resetting passwords etc I have no clue as to why it is working now, but I sure as hell won't change anything :-) Sorry I can't tell you what did the trick in the end

I mean, I can also query information of the p100 device with the example code, but I dont know how to turn p100 on or off. Propably need to use PlugDevice class..?

Edit. I managed to get it to work using that PlugDevice class.

For those of you wondering what on earth the above means:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import asyncio
import os

from plugp100.api.plug_device import PlugDevice
from plugp100.api.tapo_client import TapoClient
from plugp100.common.credentials import AuthCredential

async def main():
    # create generic tapo api
    username = os.getenv("USERNAME", "XXXXXXXXXXXX")
    password = os.getenv("PASSWORD", "XXXXXXXXXXXX")

    credentials = AuthCredential(username, password)
    client = TapoClient(credentials, "192.168.1.X")
    await client.initialize()

    print(await client.get_device_info())

    plug = PlugDevice(client)
    print(await plug.off())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())
    loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.sleep(0.1))
    loop.close()

Turns off my P105 plug :)

Obviously you need to replace the X as appropraite

It took me a while, especially since the repository was updated and the module PlugDevice is not in plugp100/api anymore. Here is how to switch the plug on and off (commented). This works fine for P115

import asyncio
from plugp100.common.credentials import AuthCredential
from plugp100.new.device_factory import connect, DeviceConnectConfiguration
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()

async def example_connect_by_guessing(credentials: AuthCredential, host: str):
device_configuration = DeviceConnectConfiguration(
host=host,
credentials=credentials
)

device = await connect(device_configuration)
await device.update()

await device.turn_on()         # Turning device on
# await device.turn_off()         # Turning device off
async def main():
credentials = AuthCredential("<TAPO_USERNAME>", "<TAPO_PASSWORD>")
await example_connect_by_guessing(credentials, "<PLUG_IP>")

if name == "main":

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.sleep(0.1))
loop.close()
