TP Link 105 error

Configuration
1

Hi All-

I have some 3rd party switches that should show as TP Link 105s (Voion). When I add the TP Link component, I get the following error in my log.

2017-06-12 17:41:34 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.switch] Error while setting up platform tplink

I am running Hassbian with version .46. I have seen the TP LInk posts in here and it looks like support had been added in version .43.

I have also updated the python component with:
sudo pip3 install pyHS100==0.2.4.2 --upgrade --target /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/deps

Prior to this update, I had gotten a lot more error messages when including the component.

Switch configuration is just:
- platform: tplink
host: 192.168.1.31

Any ideas?

How are you certain that these 3rd party plugs have the same firmware as the TP-Links?

The error looks like there’s a problem with the pyHS100 module.

Not certain, but everything I have found points to that. It was recognized as a 105 (though errored as not supported) before I updated the pyHS100 module.

I really doubt this is TP-Link compatible. Try using TP-Link’s Kasa app and see if it works, if it does not - it’s not really compatible.
