You can configure your router to statically assign an IP to your device as a quick workaround.

Nevertheless, discovering all the Tapo devices on your network and/or Tapo Cloud account is a great feature to have. I'm not sure when I'll be able to add it, but if someone wants to have a crack at it, I'm happy to help.

@mihai-dinculescu Thanks. I'm unable to assign static IP with Starlink but I had a workaround!

Since each smart plug has a MAC address that is unchangeable but IP can be dynamic (due to restarting router). I noted down each smart plug MAC address & mapped them to corresponding IP output from arp-scan

The command I use for arp-scan is

sudo arp-scan -l -q --plain

This makes sure to only output just IP & MAC address of the connected devices to my network making sure I always get the latest assigned IP for each device!

e.g. output

192.168.1.1     0a:0c:0c:0a:0c:7d
192.168.1.25    0c:0c:0a:0f:06:85

I then converted the string output to json. I was able to do all of this in a python environment on my Raspberry Pi.

Pretty happy with the result

Hello,
I am interested in this functionality too, something like Python-MagicHue is doing and that is being taking advantage of in Touch-Portal-MagicHome-Plugin.

I wonder too if it is necessary too to add the login and password to manipulate lights in a local network?
