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 cloudToken = await cloudLogin(email, password);
    
const devices = await listDevicesByType(cloudToken, 'SMART.TAPOPLUG');

Once you have determined which device you wish to use. You can enquire of its current state using:

const deviceToken = await loginDevice(email, password, devices[0]); // Performs a mac lookup to determine local IP address
// OR
const deviceToken = await loginDeviceByIp(email, password, deviceIp); // If you know your local device IP address
    
const getDeviceInfoResponse = await getDeviceInfo(deviceToken);
console.log(getDeviceInfoResponse);

To change the device state e.g. turn it on or off use:

await turnOn(deviceToken);
await setBrightness(deviceToken, 75); // Sets brightness to 75% for smart bulbs only
await turnOff(deviceToken);

Changing the bulb colour (Colour smart bulbs only):

await turnOn(deviceToken);
await setColour(deviceToken, 'white'); // Sets the colour for colour smart bulbs only
await setColour(deviceToken, '#FF00FF'); // Sets the colour for colour smart bulbs only using a hex value
await turnOff(deviceToken);
