Is there a TP-Link Powerline monitoring tool ? (TP-Link tpPLC for HA ?)

Did this integration die?
Might be interested in taking over if you don’t want to keep it alive

If you take over, can you allow for manual entry of the I.P. addresses of devices in yaml so that it will work on Docker (since scanning networks is blocked).

Since the devices doesn’t have an IP, that is not gonna happen :wink:

But could try to add the option the enter the MAC address, since the modules seems to support this

My TP-Link with Wifi does.

Okay, don’t have wifi devices, and the modules doesn’t seem to support specifying ip adresses

Ok, let me know when you have one to test with manual MAC addresses. Thanks!

HA Integration: working for WPA8630P, WPA8631P, should for WPA4220

@woody6402 - Is it expected (or possible) that this integration would support Netgear PLP2000 Powerline Adapters?

I tried it, but did not seem able to discover my units. They are HP AV2 technology.

Just FYI- That link has become a backbone of my network, connecting main building (w/ HA) to my workshop building which has Starlink. I'm having to use Powerline Ethernet now, due to some woodchuck problems w/ buried Ethernet. (They also cut my fiber line.)

Anyway, should I keep trying w/ integration and my Netgear gear?

:white_check_mark: Real solution found: ha-powerline Integration (Layer 2, no IP needed)

Hi everyone,

I was looking for exactly this for a long time — and it finally exists!

There is a great new HACS integration called ha-powerline that solves the problem for many of us:

It communicates directly with Powerline adapters via raw Layer 2 Ethernet (just like the official tpPLC app), no IP address or web UI required.

Features:

  • Automatic discovery of adapters (TP-Link, FRITZ!Powerline, devolo, etc.)
  • Real-time TX/RX PHY rates (both directions)
  • Turn LEDs on/off
  • Power Saving (standby) control
  • QoS priority selection (Internet / Gaming / Audio-Video / VoIP)
  • Beautiful live topology graph with link quality colors, rate history, sparkline, outages detection and smart alerts


Repository: GitHub - Chance-Konstruktion/ha-powerline: HACS integration for Powerline adapters — compatible with standalone PLC adapters, no WiFi or IP address required! · GitHub

Installation: HACS → Custom repositories → Chance-Konstruktion/ha-powerline (category: Integration)

Requirements: Wired Ethernet connection to at least one adapter + CAP_NET_RAW capability.

It works very well with:

  • TP-Link AV1000 (TL-PA7017)
  • Qualcomm AV500 class adapters
  • FRITZ!Powerline (AVM)

After installing it I was finally able to uninstall tpPLC and the FRITZ!Powerline app from my PC (except for initial pairing or firmware updates).

Highly recommended if you have “invisible” pure PLC adapters.

But where did it go?

Mirror doesnt work either is there another way to get this ?

Sorry mate, that one was on me — not you and not the link.

My server was rate-limiting anonymous visitors. Everything arriving through my reverse proxy looked like one single IP address, so a few people opening the page at the same time hit the limit and everyone after that got “Retry later”. It’s fixed now, I just verified the page, the zip download and git clone all work again from outside.

GitHub isn’t an option at the moment, so please grab it here:

Manual install:

Download the zip: https://gitlab.schanz.ipv64.net/chance-konstruktion/ha-powerline/-/archive/main/ha-powerline-main.zip
Copy the folder custom_components/powerline out of it into your Home Assistant config/custom_components/ directory
Restart Home Assistant
Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → “Powerline Network”
Thanks for sticking with it, and sorry for the runaround.
