First the easy one - where is the search function on this forum? It would sure save unnecessary questions.
Thanks to DaveG for the TP-Link app. Works flawlessly in getting my TP-Link devices into HE. Now, how do I get them to show up in my devices with my Cree bulbs and the solitary Z-wave outlet I'm able to get working?
Second - It should show up in your devices list and then be an available device for use in any automation app or Rule Machine. I don't have TP-Link, but that's the only way that makes sense for use in HE, unless the expectation is that you have to create a virtual switch to trigger the cloud-based device.
@SmartHomePrimer is correct. If successfully installed, the devices will be on the list of devices in the devices page. If you are not seeing this, please tell me.
