[Custom Component] TP-Link Router Integration

Well, I’m back… Back in mid-September, I got my Archer C5400X V1 working, and it worked well, up until recently…

I noticed the issue when “Presences” became “Unknown”, which led me to this integration, and I saw it had “failed to set up”. (it had been previously set up, successfully)
I had changed nothing, but I notice that the TP-Link Router Integration is now at v2.0.0… I wonder if this has anything to do with it…

When I click on Configure, everything looks like it did before (including the “encrypted” password), but when I hit “Submit”, I get a message saying my router is NOT supported!

As you see, it points me toward this url, which is for a C6U API, but I don’t see how that applies to me…

I’ve also tried the regular password, checking and unchecking SSL, etc., but to no avail.

I looked for the reference to “encrypted password”, to see if I had to redo it, but it seems to have disappeared? Is it no longer applicable? Am I missing something?

203

in the version 2.0.0 the encrypted password was deleted. Ty to readd your router to HA using your regular password. In the screenshot that you uploaded - you use the encrypted password that is not supported now.

This integration works via this client GitHub - AlexandrErohin/TP-Link-Archer-C6U: Python package for API access and management for TP-Link Routers. See supported routers list. This client was created to work with C6U but then a lot routers was added to this client to support their API

@Assisted Could you try to delete tplink entity from HA. Then install v2.0.0. Reboot HA and add tplink with local password without encryption?

205

Thank you, Alexandr!
I deleted the entity, rebooted, and had another go at it.

Here’s what I get when I attempt to add WITH “Verify SSL…” checked:

tp-link-C5400X-router-fail-with-ssl-checked1761×1719 126 KB

(Note that, as you surely know, the app clears all fields upon failure).

When I try it with the “Verify ssl…” UNchecked, I get this:

tp-link-C5400X-router-fail-with-ssl-UNchecked
tp-link-C5400X-router-fail-with-ssl-UNchecked1764×1674 115 KB

I even tried changing my router’s LOCAL password, to be sure it was different from the “Cloud” one. I logged out of the router’s GUI before returning to attempt login through HA.

FWIW, I’ll try rebooting the actual router… That’ll take some time, so I’ll go do something else (lunchtime here!), and report back IF it changes anything (which, TBH, I doubt)

206

Just a follow-up, rebooting the router did not help. Same error messages.

@Assisted Please try v2.0.1 You need to use Web Encrypted Password GitHub - AlexandrErohin/home-assistant-tplink-router: Home Assistant component for TP-Link router administration with sensors, button reboot, switches and device tracking.

Hi, Alexandr
I installed version 2.0.1, and re-attempted using the encrypted password (following the instructions on your site). Unfortunately, still no luck…

Here are two screenshots of my tries with SSL checked, and unchecked, respectively.

@Assisted It looks like you pass the wrong password

Tested the integration on my VR600, working nicely. No CPU and RAM stats (not really an issue though).
Is it possible via this integration to get the WAN IP from the router?

Thank you for the router info!
Maybe WAN IP would be added in the next releases

Well, this is odd… In that first screenshot, I had obscured the encrypted password, consisting of a 256-character hexadecimal string.
I followed your instructions here, to the letter.

In following them again, to produce a second screenshot (I was going to munge, rather than obscure, the password for posting), I noted that the encrypted password was different. This time, IT WORKED!

It is possible that I followed the first procedure in Edge, then copied the value to Firebox… This time, I did everything within Firefox.

Thanks for your quick resolution, @AlexandrErohin ! :+1: :+1:

P.S.: FYI, if it can be of use to you, here are the stats returned by the sensors:
(note the six ‘unavailable’ sensors at the bottom; not an issue for me, but I thought you’d want to know)

Hi I can’t find any device_tracker entity, was it removed?

Please tell me what the problem is?

216

Device tracking is working - Go to Developer tools and search for your MAC address - you’ll find sensor like device_tracker.YOUR_MAC or device_tracker.YOUR_PHONE_NAME .

217

What is your router model?

218

Archer c3200

@Azmr1978 Have you tried to use web encrypted password instead? GitHub - AlexandrErohin/home-assistant-tplink-router: Home Assistant component for TP-Link router administration with sensors, button reboot, switches and device tracking.

220

Yes, I did everything right, but the error is the same
