Tapo Devices at different physical location

Hello everyone. I have a Tapo devices at different physical location, which I want to add to my HA . I had no problem to add Tuya devices from this location to my HA, but Tapo don’t let me do this for some reason. I have these devices visible in Tapo app, and Google home. Is it anything I can do to add them to my Home HA? Thank you in advance.

use some of the Tapo integrations, either from HACS, or the “native” TP-Link, Integration

Tried, no luck. If I add local camera or plug to Tapo app it’s appear on the HA integration, but not remote devices.

What do you mean “remote devices”

Like I describe in my 1st post. Devices from different physical location ( other house)

Ahh ok, i assume they are on a different network then ?

Yup. I can see my Tuya devices from other house at my Tuya HA integration, but not Tapo devices :man_shrugging:

Can you see the Tapo devices you have in “Your House” where you have HA-Server installed ?

Yes, I can using Tapo integration

Which Tuya integration are you using ? , and Tapo for that matter, and is the other House in Any ways “connected” to your House network ?

Other house is 130 miles away, has own network.


and i try all TP-link, Tapo integrations, no luck.

Right, I have never heard this “Issue” about Tuya, VERY interrresting, and kind of scaring, Give me an immediate feeling that i wont ever buy second hand Tuya devices
I will “Follow” Your Topic, but i have no clue, other than maybe Your Tuya Cloud Account, Allow this “behavior”
NOTE: Tomorrow i give my friend a few Tuya Devices, and control them for him (without telling him) :smile: … hope it wont scare him

I think you right, but if you will get secondhand Tuya device, make sure its factory reset it before using. I, personally not buying ANY SECONDHAND Devices period
