TP-Link Tapo Connect
Unofficial Node.js library for connecting to TP-Link Tapo devices. Currently limited to the:
- P100, P105, P110, P115 smart plugs
- L510E, L530E smart bulbs
- L900-10 smart strip
- IP cameras like C320WS
Installation Instructions
npm install tp-link-tapo-connect
Usage
Discovery
In order to discover your devices it is advisable to login to your TP-Link account and call the listDevices function. To do this:
const cloudApi = await cloudLogin(email, password);
const devices = await cloudApi.listDevicesByType('SMART.TAPOPLUG');
Once you have determined which device you wish to use. You can enquire of its current state using:
const device = await loginDevice(email, password, devices[0]); // Performs a mac lookup to determine local IP address
// OR
const device = await loginDeviceByIp(email, password, deviceIp); // If you know your local device IP address
const getDeviceInfoResponse = await device.getDeviceInfo();
console.log(getDeviceInfoResponse);
To change the device state e.g. turn it on or off use:
await device.turnOn();
await device.setBrightness(75); // Sets brightness to 75% for smart bulbs only
await device.turnOff();
Changing the bulb colour (Colour smart bulbs only):
await device.turnOn();
await device.setColour('white'); // Sets the colour for colour smart bulbs only
await device.setColour('#FF00FF'); // Sets the colour for colour smart bulbs only using a hex value
await device.turnOff();
Available Preset Colours
|| | :-: | | white | | warmwhite | | daylightwhite | | blue | | red | | green | | yellow |
Load videos from tapo-care cloud
const cloudVideos = await cloudApi.tapoCareCloudVideos(deviceId); //deviceId from listDevicesByType
Migrating from version 1 to 2
Version 2 favours returning a device object that has the necessary functions to manipulate the device rather than passing the device/cloud token.
e.g.
const deviceToken = await loginDeviceByIp(email, password, deviceIp);
await turnOn(deviceToken);
is now
const device = await loginDeviceByIp(email, password, deviceIp);
await device.turnOn();
