Tapo and Google Home, a dramatic story
Tapo and Google Home, a dramatic story

Model: Tapo P100  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I had tapo smart swtiches for some months now. I share them through Google home with my girlfriend. 

 

Since we got them, from time to time Google Home showed them as offline, even if they weren't and they were accessible through the Tapo app. I used many workaround that I saw online (mostly on this forum) and I was able to make them work again.  

But since some weeks ago, there is no way. I unlinked my Tapo account from Google Home many times, but still the same problem. 

Not really sure what to do now. Even if it does work OK with the Tapo app, the main point since the beggining was to share them through Google Home and now it's impossible. 

All the smart switches are firmware-updated, btw.

 

What can I do?

Please connect phone to home wifi network and see if see you could access tapo device in Google home APP. 

At the same time, if you experience some issue using Tapo device in Google home APP, to help isolate the issue,  please help confirm some information here 

  • Please help describe the issue as detailed as possible .e.g. UTC+1 8AM  Google home app can not connect to Tapo,error xxx  , this happen every a few hours google home APP 
  •  Router's brand and model.e.g. ISP spectrum -router <wireless>Tapo plug;
  •  Google home  APP version, confirm the Google home APP is up to date 
  •  when  control device in Tapo APP locally when phone connected to Home Wi-Fi network, does this work fine
  •  when  control device in Tapo APP remotely when phone in on LTE mobile data, does this work fine
  • A photo of Error message when you can't link tp-link  account or can't control device in Google app 
  • Mac address of smart plug (please share by private message)

Thank you
