A Python library and accompanying CLI for controlling TP-Link Kasa and Tapo smart home devices such as plugs, switches, power strips, and bulbs. It supports device discovery over the local network, authentication, and state control via an asyncio-based API.
Use cases
- control TP-Link Kasa plugs from Python
- discover Tapo smart bulbs on my network
- turn smart switches on and off from the command line
- read energy and device state from Kasa power strips
- integrate TP-Link smarthome devices into home automation scripts
- provision a new Tapo device with wifi credentials
When to choose
- you want programmatic or CLI control of TP-Link Kasa/Tapo devices
- you are building home automation integrations in Python
- you need local-network device discovery without the vendor cloud app
When to avoid
- you need official vendor support or a guarantee of compatibility with the newest firmware
- you control smart home devices from other brands
- you need a graphical mobile app rather than a library or CLI
