Hi,
Fist best wishes for 2024...
Has anybody on the forum a working powermeter that can be used in between f.i. a washing machine ?
background :
I use the tplink tapo for power measurement.
eg. to detect if washing machine is still running & others to detect if equipment is still running --> & Do some action when its is finished.
Since the firmware update ( vulnerability patch) op the TAPO devices there is no plugin for domoticz that is still working.
So now i am looking for a replacement power measurement that reports Watts & on/off in domoticz.
Thanks !

Is there already an issue created on the plugin repository(ies)? Perhaps someone already working on it.

Sure, but it seems abondoned with last update 3 years ago.
https://github.com/593304/Domoticz-Tapo
Found a working lib, but i am not a coder and i am not able to succeed in making a plugin from it.

It's a pitty cause these are cheap and did the job.

I managed to use the
https://github.com/mihai-dinculescu/tapo from within lua.
(also tried to make a plugin from this but i did not succeed)
If anyone is interested please let me know and i try to share my temp solution, (it will need some local adjustments on your side...)

Looking on the issues of the TapoP100 library that the original plugin uses (also not maintained) there is a fork that seems to work. Perhaps remove the original TapoP100 module and install the fork could already help:

Thank you ! Will investigate that one, seems more easy to call then my current temp solution.
Maybe it is possible to port the authentication from this one to the old plugin.
Its seems the only thing changed.

If you would make a PR (purge request) on the readme to the original plugin so the plugin owner can modify it.
So instead of using
use
Code: Select all
pip install git+https://github.com/almottier/TapoP100.git@main
both commands could be needing sudo in front of it.
For you to test it run
and then install the alternative module with
Code: Select all
pip install git+https://github.com/almottier/TapoP100.git@main
Again both command could need sudo in front of it.
Then the plugin should work if the authentication method in the TapoP100 module is the same.
