TapoController is a Windows desktop app that controls TP-Link Tapo L530 smart bulbs entirely on your LAN — no cloud, no vendor SDK. It uses its own reverse-engineered implementation of the Tapo local protocol (KLAP) and drives one bulb or several in sync.
One-time requirement
Enable "Third-Party Services" once in the Tapo mobile app. After that, all control is local (no internet needed).
Features
- Full control: on/off, brightness, colours, RGB picker, white temperature with warm/neutral/cool presets.
- Several bulbs at once, synchronized or one by one; finds bulbs on the LAN and follows them by MAC when their IP changes.
- Disco mode: the bulbs react to whatever the PC is playing (no microphone needed), with a live preview, beat/BPM tracking and an on-bulb animation locked to the tempo.
- Ambilight via screen capture, per monitor: works with PotPlayer, VLC, browsers or games.
- Smooth rainbow mode rendered by the bulb itself (no flicker, no per-frame network traffic).
- Local HTTP + WebSocket API for plugins and automation.
- Windows tray, built-in help guide, 5 languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese).
- Installer (NSIS + MSI), standalone exe, portable zip and a command-line tool.
