nodes

• toggle

  

  This node module provides the ability to toggle (on / off) the power of tapo smart plugs.

• turn-on

  

  This node module provides the ability to power on tapo smart plugs.

• turn-off

  

  This node module provides the ability to power off tapo smart plugs.

• brightness

  

  This node module provides the ability to set the brightness of tapo smart bulbs.

• colour

  

  This node module provides the ability to set the color of tapo smart bulbs.

• command

  

  This node module provides several features by input "msg.payload.command".

  1. power

     tapo device power on/off

     msg.payload.option

     0: tapo device power off
     1: tapo device power on

  2. toggle

     tapo device power on/off(toggle)

  3. status

     get tapo device info

• status

  

  This node module provides the ability to get the device infomation of tapo smart plugs.

  Models that can monitor energy acquire energy information.

  Get the device information from "output: msg.payload.tapoDeviceInfo, msg.payload?.tapoEnergyUsage(P110 only)".

• tplink_tapo_connect_api(deprecated)

  

  This "node module: tplink_tapo_connect_api" has been left for compatibility, this module may be deleted without notice.

Inputs

msg.payload

type searchModeTypes = "ip" | "alias";
type commandTypes = "" | "power" | "toggle" | "status";

type payload {
    email: string;
    password: string;
    deviceIp: string;
    deviceAlias: string;
    deviceIpRange: string;
    searchMode : searchModeTypes;
    command: commandTypes;          /* "node-command" only */
    option: {                       /* "node-command" only */
        power?: number;
    };
    colour: string;                 /* "node-colour" only */
    brightness: numbar;             /* "node-brightness" only */
}

[example1]

msg = {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "password",
  "deviceIp": "192.168.0.xxx",
  "command": "power",
  "option": {
    "power": 0
  }
}

[example2]

msg = {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "password",
  "deviceIp": "192.168.0.xxx",
  "command": "toggle"
}

Outputs

The processing result is passed by msg.payload. It consists of an object that contains the following properties:

type tapoConnectResults = {
    result: boolean; /* true: success, false: failure */
    tapoDeviceInfo?: tapoDeviceInfo; /* smart plug device infomation */
    errorInf?: Error;
}

[smart plug device infomation]

You can tell if the device is on or off by getting "device_on".

true: smart plug power on
false: smart plug power off
