TP-Link Smart Home

The tplink integration allows you to control your TP-Link Kasa Smart Home Devices and TP-Link Tapo Devices such as plugs, power strips, wall switches and bulbs.

You need to provision your newly purchased device to connect to your network before it can be added via the integration. This can be done either by using kasa command-line tool or by adding it to the official Kasa or Tapo app before trying to add them to Home Assistant. Some apps for TP-Link’s other products, such as the Deco app, also allow you to add Kasa and Tapo devices. Since these devices use the same TP-Link Cloud Account for authorization, they work with this integration as well.

If your device is a newer Kasa or Tapo device it will require your TP-Link cloud username and password to authenticate for local access. If you have an older device that does not currently require authentication, you may consider disabling automatic firmware updates to keep it that way.

Configuration

To add the TP-Link Smart Home integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

TP-Link Smart Home can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.

Manual configuration steps

If it wasn’t discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & Services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select TP-Link Smart Home.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

Unavailable entities

Some entities might be showing as Unavailable if they have been removed from the integration.

Total consumption

This entity is only reported by older kasa devices. Currently, Tapo devices and newer Kasa devices do not report total consumption, although briefly during 2024.6, they incorrectly reported today’s consumption as “total consumption.” You can safely delete this entity if it is reported as unavailable on a newer Kasa or Tapo device.

Update

This entity has been removed from the integration due to stability issues, calling the TPLink cloud API to check for updates. It will be replaced in a future release with a new Update entity, but if you have an Unavailable entity ID starting with binary_sensor. and ending with update, you can safely delete it.

Light effects

If light effects are supported by a device they can be selected from the bottom of the light card. They are currently not supported on Kasa bulbs.
