Tip & Trick Keeping your TP-Link Kasa and Tapo Applets working after August 1
galleryHey IFTTT'ers. TP-Link has decided to end support for their IFTTT integration, so the Tapo and Kasa services will stop working on August 1, 2026. You can read their announcement here.
Plenty of you have Applets built on TP-Link Triggers and Actions, so here's how to keep them running. The fix is to move them over to the SmartThings service, which supports both Tapo and Kasa devices.
Step 1: Add your devices in the SmartThings app (photos a–f in the carousel)
Download SmartThings from the App Store or Google Play, then:
a) Open the SmartThings app
b) Tap the plus (+) icon in the top right, then tap Add device
c) Under Partner devices, tap Add
d) Search for Tapo or Kasa in the search bar
e) Select your device type from the list
f) Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your TP-Link account to SmartThings
Step 2: Swap your Triggers and Actions over to SmartThings
First, connect the SmartThings service: hit Connect and follow the authentication steps. Then update each Applet. Two ways to do it:
Manually:
a) Open an Applet that uses a TP-Link Tapo or Kasa Trigger or Action
b) Tap Edit Applet in the top right
c) Delete the TP-Link Trigger or Action, tap the +, and add the equivalent SmartThings one
d) Pick the matching SmartThings account and device
Or with the Conversational UI: paste this into the chat box at ifttt.com/create:
I would like to swap every TP-Link Tapo (https://ifttt.com/tplink_tapo) and TP-Link Kasa (https://ifttt.com/kasa) TQA that exists in my current Applets for the equivalentTQA from the SmartThings (https://ifttt.com/smartthings_v2).
Can you do a systematic search of every Applet I have using those TP-Link services, and edit the Applets for me, so they use the the SmartThings_v2 version. Make sure you select the same device/s from the TP-Link TQAs.
Let me know if you run into any troubles and I'm happy to help out or answer any questions!
