[HOW TO] Add your TP-Link HS-100 Wifi outlets to SmartThings

[Joseph_Campbell]

I didn’t read all the information in this thread but I believe I figured out an easier method and no need to run a server. I didn’t create this method I am only taking information I found in other threads

You can first add a virtual switch to SmartThings using the information in this link.

FAQ: Creating a virtual Groovy Device [OBSOLETE]

Need a FAQ for the simplest version of this: a virtual on/off switch. Maybe even two FAQs, one for why you would want one with use case examples and one step by step how to for creating one in ST. Thanks! 2023 Update Since groovy will be going away soon, so will groovy virtual switches. See the new FAQ for on the replacements: FAQ: Creating Virtual Devices Without the IDE

now setup your tplink to work with IFTTT using the information in the link below:

Control your TP-Link HS100 smart plug with IFTTT

you can make two ifttt recipes using smartthings virtual button, one button to turn it on the other to turn it off.

Now when you click on the virtual device button in smartthings it should turn on or off your tplink.

only problem with this way is I am using the hs200 wall switch so if I hit the physical button to turn off my lights the virtual button will still show it is on, and if using google home you should remove the tplink account and just use smartthings instead to avoid the same problem with hitting the physical button.
