TP-Link Kasa & Tapo on a Mac
Kasa & Tapo plugs/bulbs/strips + the kasa CLI · IoT
Kasa and Tapo are TP-Link's smart-home lines (plugs, bulbs, strips, wall switches, sensors). Control both locally — no cloud — with python-kasa and its kasa command-line tool: kasa discover finds devices on your LAN, kasa --host switches them, and kasa --host reads status. The same library also drives newer Tapo and Kasa-Matter devices — pass --username/--password for those. Install it from the buttons below (pip — or pipx install python-kasa for an isolated CLI), or use it through Home Assistant's TP-Link integration; manage devices in the Kasa / Tapo apps. (Tapo Wi-Fi cameras stream over RTSP/ONVIF — see Tapo Cameras under Cameras.)
