@Trobalabau how did you connect KE100 to Tapo app...? I have both hubs (Kasa KH100 and Tapo H200), but both of them only list Tapo devices on the "ADD" list.

I'm not alone.. This is so frustrating.. a simple change could turn a nice product into a game changer, and TP can't see it..

I have come across so many threads of people trying to do the same thing, If heat called for, Switch on boiler.. Not flipping rocket science, but somehow beyond explaining to TP..

I understand that Tado system does this via the Tado hub.. I'm getting close to putting my KE100s on eBay and going with Tado...

TP are so missing a trick!

Current TP-Link plugin (of course unofficial) for Home Assistant does the job just fine. Every feature is there, except changes in external Tapo thermometer pairing and TRV calibration. And with HA automating the boiler is quite easy. Once you get the boiler on/off rule right, you can control the temperature in every other way, by manual knob, Kasa/Tapo app, Google Home etc.

 

My thread is *only* about incorrect Matter implementation which in theory should be more reliable and future-proof than hobbyists' tinkering with proprietary communication.
