#Cheers, crossing fingers for an update

The problem with these devices is that they don't perform push updates to anywhere else except the cloud. So everything that happens needs to get polled 😦 It's not an issue for many use cases (the integration does poll currently every 5 seconds), but it's something to keep in mind.
I think T310 is very much the same as T315 but without an eInk display, so that's definitely coming up soon

I see, yeah I'll keep in mind... I've been running a third party extension for this for some times but I keep having some issues (so hoping them being supported more direct will improve that). While the hub is detected and all my hub devices, as it stands I've not played too much around with integrating those in particular into my setup as to having "challenges" with poll rate or anything like that.
Well except for the motion sensor actually... was/been using that and would need it 🙂 Beyond that only been using power plug and light bulbs for more automated stuff, all already supported by new core (so not seen any issues there yet).

Ohh, what types of issues, if you don't mind?

Finding the Tplink strategy of kasa and tapo so weird, not that both apps I think support products cross app as well.

https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa/pull/757 we are currently working on adding new sensors for all currently supported devices, which is sort of a preliminary to allow support for hubs 🙂

devices not being available out of the blue (not reponding in HA automations ) + often after restarting my internet router, getting "other devices" listed under each other if that make sense. E.g. that the living room lights devices suddenly is linked with a power plug.... not sure if this is me doing user errors or something else.

Yeah, I suppose tapo was earlier another company that got bought off? With cheaper manufacturing process maybe, as the prices are now much cheaper. Or maybe it's just that the technology has matured since I got my first device to use for development
Do you have them separated from the internet? Some of the devices have a firmware bug that causes them to reboot every 10 minutes if they are not able to contact the cloud
haughty marten
THey are all on my main Wifi and LAN (even if I would have preferred to have all my iOT separate, but that's causing other trouble) 😉 HA running on a Synology NAS local network and all having full normal cloud access.
My EERO router also don't support an easy way to create subnets and certain bridges between a guest and main wan etc. but that's for another discussion hehe
Q: I thought I recalled seeing more entities on e.g. light bulbs, like my temperature/overheating and certain things I've never really used to trigger things but was there... with the core now its simply 1. Is that just down pipeline or do I recall wrong 🙂
chrome forge
Oh, okay. Really hard to say then about those problems. I have some devices that function just fine, some are dropping for a minute or so due to those reboots.
To your question, yeah, we are adding more and more sensors & settings as we go. See that linked PR 🙂 LED control (on/off) and changing from smooth transitions to direct ones for bulbs is implemented for now.
All of this is very new, and I haven't yet even opened a PR to homeassistant, but it's coming soon-ish.

Oh, are you comfortable installing software from a git repo and running it? It'd be great to have a fixture file showing responses from your devices to help with development
