HS105 - Unable to setup in TP-Link-SmartThings

Closed this issue · 6 comments

I'm able to get the SmartThings Manager added to the SmartApps and the TP-Link SmartPlug added to Device Handler in the SmartThings IDE site. I'm able to see the manager in SmartThings Classic. I tap on that, choose Kasa, enter my Kasa credentials and when I tap on Install devices to continue, I get a page that says "Something's Wrong. We can't load your screen right now" with a Retry button. I assume the server the app uses to authenticate the Kasa credentials may be down, but the Kasa app is working fine.

Turn on live logging and capture any error message when encountering. That will give a clue to the error. Checklist:
a. Did you select My Location and then your hub before installing the DH and Service Manager (SmartApp) code.
b. Are you sure you loaded the correct app. It must be the "TP-Link Plug.groovy" file.

It is not recognizing the SmartThings Hub you are connected to. See 2nd post in this string. You MUST have a hub and you MUST select this hub prior to loading the DHs or SmartApps into the IDE. On the next update, I will mask this error and replace with an explicit message reflecting the above,

Sadly, no. This series requires a SmartThings hub to operate. There is no work-around since the SmartThings hub provides the processing infrastructure.

Issue is related to installation without a SmartThings hub which is not supported
