I have been having slight challenges with the stock tplink integration. I try to sync another light to the tplink switch but because of the polling time the delay could be to long. Also I cant seem to get rid of the log errors and occasionally devices will not function after a reboot (largely fixed by putting the ip’s in config.yaml).
I had been using the node red tplink nodes for my syncing and it has worked great so I thought I wonder if I can go the other way also. After playing around I used the entity node to create a home assistant and a couple of flows to sync everything up. the advantage is adjustable polling and devices always available.
