What is this?

A python script you can run to automatically toggle on/off your tp link tapo p100 plugs depending on how much power you are using and producing according to your solaredge inverter.

You can run this on a server because unlike most p100 power plug control scripts, this one works remotely.

Setup

Name your plugs like this in the tapo app: PV-1000W-Heating (Use the wattage of the device plugged into the plug instead of 1000W)
Clone this repo
Run pip install -r requirements.txt
Create authentication.py with these variables:
- solar_edge_api_key = "Your solaredge api key - found on the solaredge website > admin > access > api access"
- solar_edge_site_id = "Your solaredge site id"
- tplink_email = "The email you use to login to the tp link tapo app"
- tplink_password = "Your tp link tapo app account password"
Adjust settings.py if you'd like. (See the comments in that file for an explanation of the parameters)

Run python main.py

If you want to automatically run it on a server or raspberry pi, you can create a systemd service like this:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/solaredge-tplink-control.service

[Unit]
Description=Runs the solaredge-tplink-control python program
After=network.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/aulig/solaredge-tplink-control/main.py
WorkingDirectory=/home/aulig/solaredge-tplink-control

StandardError=append:/home/aulig/solaredge-tplink-control/systemdexecution.log

WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/solaredge-tplink-control.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable solaredge-tplink-control.service
sudo reboot
Check if it worked: sudo systemctl status solaredge-tplink-control.service
