Re ran that command, rebooted but still getting the same error

Any other thoughts?

Many thanks

Try removing the hardware from Domoticz, then delete the tapo plugin from the Domoticz/plugin directory.

then reboot

then re add the tapo plugin, make sure you set the correct permissions (chmod 777 plugin.py)

then re add the hardware in Domoticz.

this seems to be broken in the new buster release of raspian

anyone else having problems?

yes sorry I did!!
I have now downgraded back to buster
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster

and it all works again.!!

I had the same problem. After many hours (too many) I finally got it working.

This is on RaspiOS - so may be different from your system.

After running "pip3 install PyP100" I noticed that the modules had been created in /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ which is not in the $PATH variable. (I later found out that you can use pip3 --target to force the modules to a specific location).

So to solve the issue I just copied all the modules to /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Tapo and restarted Domoticz and everything worked as expected.

[newpond]

I thought bullseye used python 3.9 by default now?

would the best way to install this be as you say, by copying the modules over as you did, using the target option you mention or adding the location to the path somehow?

also please could you confirm which files you actually copied over?

thanks
JOn

[Iridium]

The *best* way to install it is by running

pip3 install PyP100 --target <INSTALL_DIR>/plugins/Domoticz-Tapo
Where default INSTALL_DIR is /home/pi/domoticz/ (On my system)

As I hadn't installed anything by pip3 I just copied everything over. If you want to know what files you need just install to a temp folder and do a listing from there.

BTW: I noticed an issue with the plugin that it was giving errors due to timeouts and high CPU usage (I have 8 devices). So I modified plugin.py heartbeat to 10 and then 60 seconds. The latter seems to work the best.

See: https://github.com/593304/Domoticz-Tapo/issues/3

[newpond]

ok cool, thanks for the info.

I can see 3 files in the python folder
PyP100.py
tp_link_cipher.py
__init__.py
(plus a cache folder)

I will upgrade to buster when I get a moment and give it a try

Re the errors and timeouts, I experienced this too and fixed by increasing the timeout like you did.

Have a look at my post re this on the first page of this thread if you get a moment, as I would be interested to your thoughts re the possible heartbeat issues you can run into when using a value of more than 30 seconds that I mention in my post.
cheers

[Iridium]

I did try on Bullseye but had too many errors - as my server was on Buster, I stuck with that.

I tried various settings for the heartbeat from 0 to 3600s and settled on 60 as this didn't throw any errors, reduced the CPU considerably and worked as expected.

Anything over 120 caused errors, whilst 0 gave the timeout error. I was hoping 0 would turn it off but didn't.

I'm not convinced these devices really need a heartbeat as they are either on or off and don't need to interact with the world as other devices (wind sensor, gauge etc.) do. It also causes errors if for whatever reason the plug/light is switched off... but I'm new to this and have no real idea what is going on under the hood.

[newpond]

ah hang on, the issues I was seeing were only bullseye related, I never had a problem with buster (this is why I mentioned about the default python version in bullseye now being 3.9).

I think these are two different issues.

[newpond]

in regards to the heartbeat settings
20 seconds seems to work best for me, anything less increases cpu activity and anything more makes no difference.

I still get error regularly about not being able to connect to certain devices, usually on boot up (but also on other occasions too)

I think these may be related to the tapo server itself however, maybe when it see too many requests or possible when its overloaded.

It would be nice to may be have a retry section in the script to see if that is the case.

I also get lots of errors when the tapo device is unplugged or turned off at the wall socket, so would be nice if there was a mechanism that pinged it first to see if its up before going any further through the script to avoid that.

Hi all,

I am trying to setup Tapo Plugin on my Domoticz

First, i didn't update to Buster. I run into problem while testing it with last domoticz version and plugin.

So, i reverted to my Stretch setup (uptodate) and domoticz 4.11.590 (dec 2019 ....)

After installing the plugin and setting up, here is what i have

Code: Select all

 
2022-01-17 13:46:41.437 Error: (TapoPlugin) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Tapo/:/usr/lib/python35.zip:/usr/lib/python3.5:/usr/lib/python3.5/plat-arm-linux-gnueabihf:/usr/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload:/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages'.

2022-01-17 13:46:41.437 '
 

PyP100 is installed as prerequisite.

I tryed Iridium workaround : install py100 with another target

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install PyP100 --target /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Tapo

but no luck.

Does someone has an idea ?

[Iridium]

Remove existing PyP100 module from /home/pi/domoticz as you installed it with "root (sudo)" - this may be causing the error.

I dont find a crying smiley....

What can i do ?

[newpond]

Can you post the permissions and ownership info for the plugin.py files

(Use ls-al command)

[fabd]

Code: Select all

-rwxrwxrwx  1 pi   pi   7389 janv. 17 10:59 plugin.py

[newpond]

What folder is that file in?

The error you posted mentions looking in
/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Tapo/PyP100/PyP100.py

But the python path used was this

/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Tapo/

The second one being the correct path.

I think you have somehow installed stuff in the wrong directory

I would remove pip and the plugin and start over following the instructions word by word

let me know if this helps

cheers
Jon
