Streamer.bot and livestreaming with OBS
Probably a strange question for non-streamers:
I livestream on Twitch and use OBS as my broadcast software.
I use Streamer.bot for running various routines, redemptions etc. and would love to be able to use it to trigger light responses without using LumiaStream (my computer is a kinda-potato so I don't want complex and large extra programs open)
I already use the Tapo app on my phone to turn on my 4 lights, one of which is set to a predetermined colour, and also to turn on my power socket with my Lava Lamp plugged into it.
Does anyone have a way to control the Tapo lights with something external like Streamer.bot?
Thank you!

Tapo L530 is set up and controlled with Tapo App only.
Through some authorized third-party platforms, such as Alexa and Google Home, you can also use third-party apps or voice to control lighting devices after linking Tapo and the third-party platform.

@Wayne-TP Thank you Wayne.
I guess I'll have to give up my hopes to integrate my Tapo lights into my stream setup.
My Computer can't cope with another set of programs to have to be running to enable what I was hoping for. That's why I'm not using Lumia Stream - it has become a huge resource hog when I only need it for lights.
Sadly lights like Govee and Elgato can already be used with Streamer.Bot and I'd hoped my favourite wifi lights could also be simply made to work without all the extras of Google Home, Apple whatever, Zigbeeeee or whatever the Clever Kids are using.

@Wayne-TP Yes, I realise the app is only for mobile devices. I have it on my phone.
It's not the app I'm after, it's the ability for my streaming program to be able to communicate with my lights.
Thanks for trying.
I guess I'll have to save up for the expensive lights to do what I was hoping to do.

Does this situation change with the whole Matter Compatibility thing now?
Because the name Matter is so generic it is really hard to find relevant IoT information
As always: thank you for reading and suggestions.

Tapo L530 does not support Matter. Matter requires devices to undergo relevant certification and testing, and it is generally supported on new products. We do not have specific information regarding whether support will be added to existing models.

You may check if other Matter platforms support the feature you're seeking. Note that a Matter controller/hub from corresponding brand is needed if you want to control Tapo matter device with their apps.
