A Node.js library and CLI for controlling TP-Link Kasa Smarthome devices (smart plugs, switches, and bulbs) over the local network. It supports device discovery, power control, and querying device info via TCP/UDP.

Use cases

  • control kasa smart plugs from node.js
  • discover tplink smarthome devices on my network
  • turn smart bulbs on and off programmatically
  • automate kasa devices in home automation scripts
  • get energy usage from hs110 smart plug
  • cli to control tplink smart home devices

When to choose

  • you want to control TP-Link Kasa plugs, switches, or bulbs from JavaScript/TypeScript
  • you need local-network device discovery and control without the cloud
  • you're building a Homebridge plugin or similar integration

When to avoid

  • you own TP-Link Tapo devices, which are not supported
  • you need cloud-based control or non-Node.js languages
  • you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode
