Trying to add a TP-Link/Tapo P316M matter power strip via the Tapo Integration app to HE. The parent is found, but does not install because it cannot find the driver.
Help, please.
You need to add the driver (via HPM or download). Driver is "TpLink Parent" (just like the message). You will also need to download the associated children for the individual outlets. In your case, it would be tplink_child_plug (handles em plugs and USB outlets),
I was able to install Topo Integration. TpLink Child Plug & TpLink Parent are installed in Dev Drivers code folder. Topo Integration in installed in App code folder. I scanned to install the power strip and came up with the following :
How do I install the driver?
Just select the device from the drop-down and select next.
The parent will be installed and about 1 minute later the individual plugs will be installed. (automatically).
In the rare event they do not install automatically, the preference page has a option "install children".
Once installed, the child devices will appear on the devices page as children.
example w/o drop down on devices page:
After pressing the ">"
An error in the EM processing killed the device installation. To get you going,
On the preferences tab, select
- Enable debug logging for 30 minutes
- Install child devices
Then select SAVE.
After adding the devices, on the Parent, select the command "configure" and send me the logs in text format. (Just copy the lines and paste. I will create the parsing). You may not get any errors this time (good) - but that points to the error in your post.

I was a little confused about adding child devices, so I clicked the clicked the "Install Child Devices" toggle to off than clicked it back to on. Below is a cut and paste of the log:
It will take me over the weekend. This is (unfortunately) the first EM multiplug. The error in configure is probably causing your issue.

That's fine, no hurry. I can use the power strip via the Tapo App. Sorry to cause the problem.
