Tapo P300: Smart Plugs Not Syncing in HA

[KleMic123]

I am using a Tapo P300 with the latest firmware and the current version of Home Assistant. For a while now, I have been unable to control the smart plugs correctly via Home Assistant. They are shown as ‘on’ even though they are ‘off’. When I switch them to ‘off’ in HA, it automatically reverts back to ‘on’. What should I do?

I can confirm, I have the same problems.

I have the same problem, where can I find the log so we can help to discover where the problem is?

To solve the problem, at least momentarily, you can downgrade to v2.14.0. The bug started in v3.0.0. I hope this will help to pinpoint where it was introduced.

Same problem, switches don't update state

Same problem here. Waiting for a fix.

downgrade to v2.14.0

Downgrading to v2.14.0 didn’t work because all Tapo sockets could no longer be controlled. I think this is because v2.14.0 doesn’t support the current Tapo firmware.

Same problem with Tapo v3.1.2 😢

Just adding to the confirmation - though I have a TP25 (outdoor plug) that has the same issue.
Tapo Device: TP25
Hardware Version: 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.1.3 Build 240604 Rel 150844

Tapo Integration Version: 3.1.2

HA Version: 2024.11.3

I Have the same problem with my P300.
Any expectation to fix this?

Same here P300, does not work anymore

Running it lately - I've noticed that it only gets stuck in the "on" state. If I reset HA, the initial read is correct - if it's on, I can't turn it off - if it's off it can turn on.

Currently on HA 2024.12.5

Same issue. HA 2024.12.5, P300 V1.0.16, Tapo 3.1.2.

The state of each socket being reported in HA is the state it was in when the device is seen by HA when it connects. It will be reported correctly in HA initially. If any socket state is changed by pressing a switch on the P300, HA will not report the change. If a socket state is changed from HA, it will activate the socket and display the change for 2 seconds in HA, then HA reverts to reporting the initial state.

E.g. Restart HA with Socket 1 off, Socket 2 off and Socket 3 on. HA will show S1 = off, S2 = off, S3 = on.
If I change S2 from HA, then S2 will physically turn on, then HA will show it as on for 2 secs, then it will show it as off (s2 will still physically be on). Turning on S2 again from HA will change the indication in HA to on for 2 seconds before it reverts to showing off with no change in the physical state of the socket. However (still with S2 physically on and HA showing off) , turning on S2 again from HA, HA will show on and if I turn it immediately off from HA while HA is showing it as on (in the 2 second window before it reverts to showing off), the device will turn off.

The same, but in reverse, happens with a socket that was initially on when first connected to by HA. In the example above, S3 will always revert to showing as on, even when it has been turned off.

I also have P110 and P110M plugs and they work perfectly.

It's the same for me. It would be great if there were a solution for this soon.

After some more digging, I found the inbuilt TP-Link Smart Home integration
and added the P300 to that one rather than the Tapo integration from HACS.
The P300 is now working as expected.

Thanks for the tip, it works 🙂
