## What it is
A Python command-line client for the proprietary TP-Link Smart Home protocol that controls HS100, HS110, and KP115 WiFi smart plugs over TCP port 9999. It also includes a Lua Wireshark dissector to decrypt and inspect Smart Home protocol traffic.

## Use cases
- turn TP-Link smart plug on and off from the command line
- read energy usage from a TP-Link HS110
- reverse engineer the TP-Link Smart Home protocol
- decrypt TP-Link smart plug traffic in Wireshark
- send raw JSON commands to a smart plug
- reboot or factory reset a smart plug remotely

## When to choose
- you want lightweight scriptable control of TP-Link HS100/HS110/KP115 plugs without the Kasa app
- you are analyzing or documenting the TP-Link Smart Home protocol
- you need to inspect decrypted smart plug packets in Wireshark

## When to avoid
- you need authenticated, secure control of smart home devices
- you use smart plugs from other vendors with different protocols
- you want a polished GUI or mobile app experience
