homebridge-tplink-smarthome VS homebridge-hisense-tv

Honestly I have never used HomeKit, so no personal experience. I did a quick research and I haven't found anything in the app. The internet says that some Kasa devices are supported, but I found nothing about my specific model (KL430). There seems to be a GitHub project for it though: https://github.com/plasticrake/homebridge-tplink-smarthome

Is there a plugin that supports that plug? I checked this plugin but it does not mention that model.

There is a plugin for TP-link Kasa called homebridge-tplink-smarthome.

This is a reported issue I know but I’m curious if there are others with a similar situation and how they have resolved it.

This issue is reported in the github https://github.com/plasticrake/homebridge-tplink-smarthome/issues/216

Remove that plugin. Install the verified one: https://github.com/plasticrake/homebridge-tplink-smarthome#homebridge-tplink-smarthome

I’ve had no issues with this plugin. The latest version, 6.1.0, is working fine for me. https://github.com/plasticrake/homebridge-tplink-smarthome

I'm running Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi. I'm very new to it all so still getting the hang of it, I have most things installed through Tuya which works great but I'm trying to install the "homebridge-hisense-tv-remotenow v2.0.0" plugin (https://github.com/MrAsterisco/homebridge-hisense-tv) to work with my Smart TV and am getting a little stuck. Pretty much I'm getting stuck on the "Continue the Setup" step. How do I run the python script on my Pi? and do I move the folder to homebridge-hisense-tv/bin and how? Any tips would be appreciated!

This is referering to which network interface you want yourt homebridge to use, not your tv like others are saying. You can work it out by running "ifconfig" in the terminal. That command should spit out all the network interfaces. If you are using a raspberry pi, it is eth0 for ethernet and wlan0 for wifi. My tv runs vidaa os and works with the Hisense TV plugin (https://github.com/MrAsterisco/homebridge-hisense-tv) , although i'll admit it was a pain in the ass to set up. You have to run the python script to pair the tv and then it should work once you add to homekit. You also need to assign a static ip to your tv in your router setttings. I tend to find on/off functionality works well, on a slight delay, but changing inputs can be a bit unreliable.
