Error: Tapo(InvalidCredentials)

[mihai-dinculescu]

Yes, it does work with firmware 1.2.3.

You are correct. The e-mail and the password combination are the ones of your TP-Link account.

Your device needs to connect to the internet on the initial setup and after every TP-Link password change so that it gets synced. Outside these two situations, you can keep your device off the internet.

An exception from the above rule is when you want to fetch the energy usage. That requires an internet connection for the device when the call is made. See #109 for details.

Some people got the invalid credentials error a while back because they had upper-case letters in their TP-Link e-mail. The fix for them was either to ensure they got the capitalisation right (as it shows up in the Tapo App) or to re-create their accounts with a lower-case e-mail.

Ah! Thanks for this! The whole reset password after adding device.

Cheers!
