I’m new to Home Assistant and have just bought a TP-Link HS100 smart switch. I’ve got it set up and working with it’s own app so I know it works, but i can’t get it to work in home assistant.
I’ve added the switch code to the configuration.yaml file and i think i have the correct ip address for it, although i can’t be sure as it isn’t showing up as a connected device on my network and the only way i found it was the mac address is listed on my ARP binding page on my router with an ip address next to it. Anyway, I can’t get it to show up in Home Assistant at all, here’s my error log if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks:

Sorry, ignore this post, I’ve solved it. If anyone else has this problem it was because i had entered the ip address in the config file as http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and it needs to be just xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
My TP-link HS100 came in today. Got it set up through the kasa app no problem. But I also can’t get it visible on home assistant…
I’ve checked the validity of the yaml file (the demo buttons for switches work fine) also removed the HTTP:// from the host … To no avail…
The switch shows up as connected on my router and I’ve quintuple checked the IP address.
I’m on 0.36 home assistant, can anyone please help? :s
Not sure if this is any use, but I’m running my home assistant on a Pi and if I restart the whole Pi the HS100s don’t show up for some reason, I need to just restart home assistant using the services menu to get them to show up.
@Bri Thnx for the quick response!
Unfortunately, I’ve tried restarting my laptop and home assistant multiple times.
This does nog seem to help.
I’m currently running Home assistant on a windows 10 laptop, if that should matter in any case.
The idea is to bring it over to a raspberry pi once I’ve got most of the configuration as I want it.
the ‘demo’ platform gives me the 2 demo switches: AC & Decorative Lights, but the TP-Link switch won’t show up.
This doesn’t change when I quote out the demo switches. Then no switches are shown…
It’s a different location for me on the pi but that sounds like the right file, and your configuration looks fine to me. I’m not at home at the moment but I’ll check it against mine tonight to see if I’ve done anything different but I don’t think so.
The only other thing I can think that I did which might help is that I used he dhcp settings on my router to reserve the IP address for use by that switch, and then powered the switch on and off to make sure it was always assigned to that IP address and restart home assistant. It shouldn’t really make any difference if your ip address is correct but it can’t hurt to try.
Thank you very much, it might be that it is just my own wifi network that is the issue.
The router provided by my provider is absolute crap… So an update in hardware is also in the planning.
But I just want to make sure it is nowhere in the configuration, before I turn the house upside-down
I’d maybe try reserving the ip address for your switch if your router allows it, and then restarting the switch and home assistant again. Also if you have a firewall on your laptop maybe try temporarily disabling that in case it’s blocking it? other than that, if you’re not getting any errors in the log then i’m out of ideas i’m afraid.
Wasn’t able to try it last night, but I did just now and no luck unfortunately…
But something did seem to have changed… as I know have the following error in the log:

And I unfortunately have no idea what to make of this… @bri Thanks very much for the effort!
That looks very similar to the error I get if I start home assistant while my HS100 is switched off at the wall so if that is the same error (and your HS100 was powered on when you got it) I’d guess that either your IP address for your HS100 is wrong (doubtful if you’ve repeatedly checked it as you stated) or something on your laptop or router is blocking the signal. Shouldn’t be your router blocking anything if the Kasa app is working so I’d guess it was your laptop - either windows defender or some other firewall potentially blocking it?
srry I’ve been out for a while and this kinda slipped my mind.
But the new home assistant update came today which I installed.
I just tried the switch and now it works!
So maybe something with the versioning?
Anyhow, standard settings, it works!
