ajd123 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have a bunch of TP-Link Kasa plugs installed throughout my house. 1) I have 2 drivers for some of my Kasa TP-Link devices. One is the Chowmain driver and the other is the TP-Link driver (Sub Zero 1 & Sub Zero 2). Are both drivers necessary. 2) In the TP Link Driver (Sub Zero 2.jpg) should I select the corresponding device from list? 3) In the TP Link Driver (Sub Zero 2.jpg) why does it say "workaround for incorrect Device Power State"?

Gday sorry, what are you driver names for both types of driver. Don't delete any drivers.. they might be there for a reason Workaround for power State is because tplink reports old power information when polled for a short time after setting the power from c4. So we assume it's wrong for 5s. If you change that, in some circumstances the power State might be wrong. Don't change that unless chowmain tech support tells you, or power status flicks to the wrong state temporarily after being changed from c4 Don't select device from list. That's used for auto provisioning and is used to change the device it's connected to, and even then, we don't recommend using it unless you're changing it to a device with similar specs. If you select that, you might even break things. You should only ever generally use that once (and it has probably already been used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't delete any drivers.. they might be there for a reason Hey Andrew, thanks for the response. I will not delete any drivers. One driver is the Chowmain "US/UK/EU/AU Outlet Driver" (icon with an outlet). Other driver is the TP-Link V2 (the one where you authored the Documentation). This all started when I had the idea of creating programming to notify me if the power consumption for a fan in my family room dropped below 20w this way I would know if someone turned the fan off. This particular outlet is an EP25 and is setup as a LIGHT SWITCH. How do I change this so it is setup as an outlet (not a lighting device)? The ACTIONS tab allows me to change an outlet to a light device, but not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
