Requires Home Assistant with HACS installed and a supported Tapo RV30 or RV20 model on compatible firmware.
This project lets you control a TP-Link Tapo RV30 robot vacuum from Home Assistant, the popular smart home platform, without sending any of your data to TP-Link's cloud. It talks to the vacuum directly over your home network by reimplementing the security protocol the vacuum's app uses, work that was figured out by studying an earlier project that reverse engineered TP-Link's Tapo devices. Once installed, the integration gives you full control of the vacuum inside Home Assistant: starting, pausing, stopping, and sending it back to its dock. You can trigger room by room cleaning through a dedicated service, choose fan speed from Quiet up to Max or Ultra, set the water level for mopping, and pick how many passes it should make. It also exposes sensors for battery level, current error state, such as a removed dust bin or the vacuum being stuck, and wear on parts like the main brush, side brush, and filter, so you know when they need replacing. Cleaning schedules already set up in the Tapo phone app are imported automatically, and you can check for firmware updates or reset consumable wear counters from within Home Assistant. Setup is done through the HACS add-on manager, which handles the required Python packages for you. After installing, you copy the integration's folder into Home Assistant's custom_components directory, restart Home Assistant, and configure the device from the standard Settings menu. The README includes ready to use examples: an automation script that cleans a named list of rooms, and a dashboard button card for triggering a specific cleaning job with one tap. The project currently supports the RV30 Max Plus, RV20 Max Plus, and RV20C Mop models on recent firmware, and the author expects it to work with other Tapo robot vacuums that use the same security protocol. It builds directly on reverse engineering work from the python-kasa project and an earlier attempt at the same integration.
A Home Assistant add-on that controls a TP-Link Tapo RV30 robot vacuum locally over your home network, with no cloud connection needed.
Mainly Python. The stack also includes Python, Home Assistant, HACS.
No license information is given in the README.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly general.
