TapoConnect

Unofficial TP-Link Tapo smart device library for C#.

NuGet version (TapoConnect)

Tested With

Examples

As of firmware 1.1.0 Build 230721 Rel.224802, KLAP protocol is being used over the secure pass-through protocol. As a result, this API has to attempt to login with one protocol then fallback to the other. By default, KLAP protocol will be used first since it is the new standard.

Build clients to interact with Tapo Cloud or smart device.

TapoCloudClient cloudClient = new TapoCloudClient();
TapoDeviceClient deviceClient = new TapoDeviceClient();

//Specify order of login protocols to try.
TapoDeviceClient deviceClient = new TapoDeviceClient(new List<ITapoDeviceClient>
{
	new KlapDeviceClient(),
	new SecurePassthroughDeviceClient(),
});

Get devices from cloud.

CloudLoginResult cloudKey = await cloudClient.LoginAsync("<Username>", "<Password>");
CloudListDeviceResult deviceResult = await cloudClient.ListDevicesAsync(cloudKey.Token);

Select devices by type.

IEnumerable<TapoDeviceDto> devices = deviceResult.DeviceList
    .Where(x => x.DeviceType == TapoUtils.TapoBulbDeviceType);

Select device by alias.

TapoDeviceDto device = deviceResult.DeviceList.First(x => x.Alias == "<Device Name>")

Login to device by known IP address.

TapoDeviceKey deviceKey = await deviceClient.LoginByIpAsync("<Username>", "<Password>", "<IpAddress>");

Login to device by known MAC address (finds the MAC address on local network through a Windows ARP request).

string ip = TapoUtils.GetIpAddressByMacAddress(device.DeviceMac);
TapoDeviceKey deviceKey = await deviceClient.LoginByIpAsync("<Username>", "<Password>", ip);

Get Device info.

DeviceGetInfoResult deviceInfo = await deviceClient.GetDeviceInfoAsync(deviceKey);

Set Device's power, brightness, color, and state.

await deviceClient.SetPowerAsync(deviceKey, true);

await deviceClient.SetBrightnessAsync(deviceKey, 80);

await deviceClient.SetColorAsync(deviceKey, TapoColor.FromHex("#e8d974"));
await deviceClient.SetColorAsync(deviceKey, TapoColor.FromHsl(200, 100, 100));
await deviceClient.SetColorAsync(deviceKey, TapoColor.FromRgb(100, 25, 32));
await deviceClient.SetColorAsync(deviceKey, TapoColor.FromTemperature(3500));

await deviceClient.SetStateAsync(deviceKey, new TapoSetBulbState(
    color: TapoColor.FromTemperature(3800, brightness: 1),
    deviceOn: true));
