TAPO-And-Govee-Controller

I made this so I can control my Tapo L510 light bulb and Govee H6159 light strip using the PyP100 module and the Govee public API

How it works

A flask server is set up, the flask sever runs locally on the network on port 8000, your device is found by it's IP which you will need to find out what this is through the Tapo App then it creates a handshake between the device and the server, then the server tries to create a login to the device and the devices to allow communication. Then on the main url / the index.html file is rendered where a user can access buttons to carry out the functions. For example the turn on tapo light bulb button goes to url end point /on_tapo it will the function attached to the endpoint def on_tapo()

How to set up to use your devices

Check PyP100 compatability and the Govee API compatiblity when getting you govee API

1. Clone repository
2. Get IP address of tapo device and login information and swap it out in the main.py file under bulb =
3. Get an API key from Govee, you can do this by getting the Govee App My Profile -> Settings -> About Us -> Apply for API Key
4. Apply this in configs.py under def apiKey()
5. Create a virtual environment by having vitualenv installed and run source venv/bin/activate in the main directory
6. run python3 main.py or python main.py

Debugging

If when cloning the repositry and can't actiavte the virtual environment create a new one by running virtualenve and install the necessary modules:

requests

PyP100

2. If devices have no power provided to them for example a bulb is turned off at the light switch the seerver will not power up, I cannot add a try and except statement as the PyP100 module throws an exception when it can't connect and the server does not start.

Errors not stated

Create an issue on the repository and I will try to fix it
