Overview
Every current Node One package includes a TP-Link Tapo Matter smart plug. Node One adopts it locally with the printed setup code, controls its switch, and reads available power and energy information.
Requirements
- A Matter smart plug supported by the current Node OS build.
- The Matter setup code printed on the plug or its card.
- Bluetooth range during adoption and Wi-Fi coverage at the final outlet.
Connect
- 1
Put the plug in setup mode
For a previously used plug, hold its button for about 10 seconds until it resets.
- 2
Open Add a Matter device
Go to Add Equipment and choose the Matter path.
- 3
Enter the setup code
Type the code exactly as printed.
- 4
Follow the ladder
Keep the plug powered while Node One completes the five adoption stages.
What Node One can read
- On and off state where reported.
- Live power and accumulated energy where supported.
- Local Tapo energy metering on the verified in-box path.
Control
Open the plug in Node OS and choose Turn on or Turn off. Node One confirms the reported state and uses power metering when available to check the result. Failed commands are never retried automatically.
Troubleshooting
- Reset a previously commissioned plug before retrying.
- Keep the plug within Bluetooth range during setup.
- Confirm the destination outlet has reliable Wi-Fi.
Remove
Open the device page, select Remove..., then Tap again to remove. A removed Matter device returns to setup mode.
