Hi,
I would like to control two Tapo P100s using a workstation with Ubuntu 20.04 as OS. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Luca

Yes, you can. First you need to install a javascrit runtime Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/ Then you can install Homebridge which is a javascript server emulating Homekit API https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu-Linux Then you can install a Tapo plugin for Homekit to control Tapo devices https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-tapo
All installation details and download links are in the links I wrote above
I used this combination both on Debian and macOS machines which worked well. Now I use Apple Silicon Macs which native iOS Tapo app runs just like an iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to us.
Currently, our Tapo plug can only be managed by Tapo application. Thanks for your support.
