TP-Link Plugin v 0.9.9 / v1.0

I am using TP-Link Plugin v0.9.9 with Indigo 2022.1.2. I just added a KL110 Smart Dimmable Bulb to my collection of TP-Link Smart Plugs.

The Smart Plugs work with this software configuration, but the Smart Dimmable Bulb does not. The bulb does work with the iOS Kasa App.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

For those having issues or questions, I would recommend creating a GitHub Issue here:

https://github.com/jtburgess/indigo-TP-LInk/issues

My guess is the author has gotten busy with life and maybe he will take a look on GitHub...

I am wondering if I should update the firmware on my KP125. I am on version 1.0.3.

I have several of these and they randomly disconnect from the network.

I don't think the device firmware matters.
There were problems with devices randomly not responding to polls, which would cause communications to be disabled.
This has now been solved with customizable polling parameters so that you can set how many failures before a disconnect
(or eliminate disconnects for all practical purposes with a very large number of failures required.

You can get the latest code from the head on GitHub, ... or ... I'll be creating a new release (1.0) Real Soon Now

I just published v1.0.0 fixing all known bugs, and incorporating several new Devices.
(Thanks to everyone who tested and told me about those new devices).

Happy New Year to all!

I recently upgraded from the 0.9.9 plugin to the 1.0.0 plugin. Please see screen recording here demonstrating the problem:

https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B17G1CvrSvicEH

What I have noticed is that event though the devices haven't been disabled from within Indigo due to losing WiFi momentarily (I set the timeout very high), the device usage stats at some point become frozen, and no longer update. I know the devices have not become disabled due to WiFi or other issues because I have a check that runs every few seconds and alerts me right away.

Anyway, a simple disable/enable Indigo communication does the trick, but I am not sure how long it lasts before the problem comes back.

I do know that my washer and dryer that use the TP-Link HS-110s will work on Saturday when I do the disable/enable trick, but by the next Saturday, they are frozen again.

Thanks for the report.
I won’t be able to check this out for a week or so.

No worries. Not sure if there is a pattern, but in the meantime, I have a way with Grafana to tell how long the devices work before they stop updating.

I started getting frequent KeyError('system') errors yesterday. I'm not sure what happened. My log is cluttered with this for certain devices. Any ideas what might be going on. Some kind of WiFi issue perhaps?

I am trying to add two TP Link bulbs to a new system, models KL50 and KL135. I get the following message:
May 22, 2023 at 11:06:29 AM

TP-Link Devices Error (plugin.py:getSubType:127): model 'KL50(' is not recognised
TP-Link Devices Error (plugin.py:getSubType:127): model 'KL50(' is not recognised
TP-Link Devices Error (plugin.py:selectTpDevice:584): Error: selected and actual Device types don't match (tplinkSmartBulb vs unknown)
TP-Link Devices Error (plugin.py:selectTpDevice:585): Delete and try again.
TP-Link Devices Polling started for new device@192.168.4.54.

I tried modifying tplink_dimmer_plugin.py to add the devices, and reloaded the plugin, but it still didn't work. Is there something else I need to do?

Thank you.

PS: running Indigo 2022.2 and v 1.0.0 of the TP Link plugin
