TP-Link Kasa & Tapo on a Mac

Kasa & Tapo plugs and strips switched locally in Power Control, plus bulbs and the kasa CLI · IoT

FrontierStack switches Kasa and Tapo Wi-Fi smart plugs and power strips itself, locally and with no extra software: add one in Power Control as *TP-Link Tapo / Kasa* (Tapo P100/P105/P110/P115/P125 and P300/P304M/P306 strips over TP-Link's KLAP protocol with your TP-Link ID; Kasa HS/KP/EP plugs and HS300/KP303 strips over KLAP or the older port-9999 protocol), one entry per strip outlet, and link it to a server for remote power-cycling. 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 <ip> on|off switches them, and kasa --host <ip> state 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.)
