Node-red-contrib-tplink

Can some one help me to understand the meaning of : Under the hood, this uses [TP-Link Smart Home API in the description of node-red-contrib-tplink

This is a Node-RED node that allows you to control smart plugs, switches, and bulbs from the TP-Link Kasa Smart ecosystem. Under the hood, this uses [TP-Link Smart Home API

I a running node red on windows and look to me this is for Pi. I did install the api using CMD and the node red crash when I deploy the node.

9 Feb 19:06:31 - [red] Uncaught Exception:

I use that node a lot but if there is a question in your post I didn't see it.

Thank I just resolve it, Is working

You say that you use it a lot, I have a HS300 i was able to send command to turn each plug on/off. Can you let me know how I can get the individual state for each plug to display on the dashboard as a text. "PC 1" state "PC 2"state etc,
This is the debug

next_action:

If you send the command
Msg ={payload:getinfo}
The node will spit out a ton of info. Somewhere in that mess you will find a statement of relay_state that tells you whether it's on or off, I think. I don't have that exact device but that command is supposed to work on all if them. Put a debug node on the output send that command and somewhere you should find the state.
[Edit] I see a "state" in your post. Is that the relay on/off? Try checking that out.

yes that is the state of the relay.

That answer your question? Put a node on the end of the tplink node to get that value.

If a put a text node is showing a bunch of info. all the data. what I did is put a switch in front of the kasa node and connect the switch nodeto a funtion node with this:
switch (msg.payload) {
case true:
msg.color = "Lime";
msg.payload = "ON";
break;
case false:
msg.color = "Red";
msg.payload = "OFF";
break;
}

return msg;
and connect his to a text node. Long but work

Thanks for you time and interest in my problem

This is one switch

A quick way is a function node I'm doing this from a phone so I'm not able to recommend a core node but there are easier ways. In a function node something like
let X = msg.payload.something.something
You can get the exact path from the debug output

I just imported your flow

and then I moved things around and the nodes are NOT connected in the order it looks

Did you do that on purpose?

Yes I did,to be able to display it correct. I left the kasa node alone to control the plug because the output have a lot of info. . I use the function to get the state of the switch and change the color of the output and display in a text note. The led is get getting the state from the Switch. Long way but it work as I want.

I played around a bit and this is how I would do it
