Tapo Devices - custom_components

Configuration
1

I am trying to add my Tapo Plugs to Home Assistant.
I am running this on my Synology NAS via Docker.

I have updated the configuration.yaml file by adding the following lines

switch:
    platform: tapo_p100_control
    ip_address: 192.168.***.***
    email: s**********[email protected]
    password: *****************

I have also added the custom_components folder to docker>homeassistant (which is the same root folder that the config file is stored in.

In the custom components folder, I have extracted the tapo_p100_control folder and contents.

Following this, I rebooted my Docker instance however, the Tapo devices are still not showing. I did double check to see if they now appeared in the Integrations which they don’t.

Have I missed something in the setup? How can I control my Tapo devices?

Thank you,
Pie

Hello to all,
I am interested by an answer to the question, as I am facing the same issue (on a QNAP NAS, but same path for running HA via a container).
I did the same steps, then I went to the menu : Dev tools/YAML/Check config, and HA tells me:
"

Platform error switch.tapo_p100_control - Integration ‘tapo_p100_control’ not found.

"
Can anyone give a solution for such an issue, please?
TIA

Ok, I got it for that step:
it is mandatory to restart HA after (creating the “custom_components” folder and filling it with the tapo_P100_control), and before adding the lines into configuration.yaml
I am there, no error shown, but no successful integration. I cannot access to my P100 switch.
Any idea?
Thanks
Paxel
