node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

Unofficial node-RED node for connecting to TP-Link Tapo devices with new interface (KLAP) and previous one (PASSTHROUGH). Currently limited to the:

  • P100, P105, P110, P115 smart plugs
  • L510E, L530E smart bulbs
  • L900-10 smart strip

node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

Node command options

  • power

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

    This node command provides the ability to power (on / off) the device by input "msg.payload" (boolean)

  • toggle

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

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

  • turn-on

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

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

  • turn-off

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

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

  • brightness

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

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

  • color

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

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

  • status

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

    This node command provides the ability to get the device infomation of tapo smart plugs. Models that can monitor energy acquire energy information.

    "output: msg.payload.tapoDeviceInfo, msg.payload?.tapoEnergyUsage(P110 only)" will provide the device information and usage (if device can measure energy).

  • components

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

    This node command provides the ability to get the device components information.

  • command

    node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

    This node command provides the ability to set a customized request to the device by input "msg.payload" (TapoRequest object):

    {"method": string, "params": {"key": value, ...}} should be provided as valid request.

Node configuration by message (msg)

You can always override the node command configuration by means of the following message properties:

  • "msg.config.command" takes an string with one of the following valid command options

    type command_type = "status" | "power" | "on" | "off" | "toggle" | "color" | "brightness" | "components" | "command";
    
  • "msg.config.version" takes a number indicating the protocol

    (1 - PASSTHROUGH, 2 - KLAP, 3 - AUTO)

  • "msg.config.verbose" takes a boolean indicating the error verbose.

    When verbose is selected a "msg.payload.errorInf.track" object is included.

  • "msg.config.terninal_random" takes a boolean indicating the terminal to use.

    When terminal_random is true a random terminal valid UUID is used (useful when various buttons are configured to attack same device).

Pre-requisites

The node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api requires Node.js v15.0.0 or higher to be installed.

Install

npm install node-red-contrib-tapo-new-api

      • case2: "192.168.0.0/24"

Inputs

msg

type search_mode_type = "ip" | "alias";
type command_type = "status" | "power" | "on" | "off" | "toggle" | "color" | "brightness" | "components" | "command";

type config {
    email: string;
    password: string;
    deviceIp: string;
    deviceAlias: string;
    deviceIpRange: string;
    searchMode : search_mode_type;
    command?: command_type; /* Default: "status" */
    version?: TapoProtocolType; /* Default: AUTO */
    verbose?: boolean; /* Default: false */
    terminal_random?: boolean; /* Default: false */ 
}

type payload: boolean /* power */ || string /* color */ || number /* brightness */ || TapoRequest /* command */

[example1]

msg.config = {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "password",
  "deviceIp": "192.168.0.xxx",
  "command": "power",
  "version": 3 /* AUTO */
}
msg.paylaod = true;

[example2]

msg.config = {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "password",
  "deviceIp": "192.168.0.xxx",
  "command": "toggle",
  "version": 2, /* KLAP */
  "verbose": true
}

[example3]

msg.config = {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "password",
  "deviceIp": "192.168.0.xxx",
  "command": "color"
}
msg.paylaod = "white";

Outputs

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

type TapoResuls = {
    result: boolean; /* true: success, false: failure */
    tapoDeviceInfo?: TapoDeviceInfo; /* Tapo device infomation */
    tapoEnergyUsage?: TapoDeviceInfo | undefined; /* Tapo device energy if compatible */
    tapoComponents?: Components | undefined; /* Tapo device components information */
    tapoCommand?: Json_T | undefined; /* Tapo device results from "command" */
    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
