  If they're the older Kasa bulbs/switches (before they got all Matter), they have a dead simple local, MAC-addressed TCP packet protocol. I've implemented basic ON/OFF commands in ESPHome C++ code, but there's also a command line tool: https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa?tab=readme-ov-fil... There's a list at the bottom of supported devices.

  Last used the command-line utility with a PowerShell script to make the lights in the playroom do a rainbow-random color dance party for the kiddos. Was nice to crank out a working automation in 2 minutes.

• Raspberry Pi 5: available now

  I bought a [Kasa Smart Plug](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LN3C7WK). It has an API for reporting energy usage. Luckily there was already a [library](https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa) for calling this API. I wrote a small console app that checks energy usage and when I detect a drop, I know that the dryer is done.

  This is my second attempt at solving this problem. In the first incarnation, I attempted to do audio recognition for the sound that the dryer makes when its done, but I just couldn't get it to work well. The sound was too short to generate a good signature.

• can someone fill me in on how to control tplink plugs (via the linux terminal)?

  It looks like the easiest way is probably this python library: https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa

  The TPLink Kasa stuff has a very robust Python library if you can install Python on that computer. https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa

• Is there a UK WiFi smart plug that can work on LAN without any app/cloud/smart assistants?

• Setting HS110 Energy Level Alerts

• Advice for push notifications + response? probably raspberry pi etc. android phone.

  I don't know kasa smart plugs but this library seems like a good starting point. Just write a little python script (on, sleep(60), off) and you're good to go. When you want to fully automate things use a simple Webserver on your Pi and open a link when clicking the notification . The Webserver runs your script. Done. Probably can be done simpler but I don't know any of the components involved.

• Replacement for Kasa light switches
  1 project | /r/homeautomation | 20 Jan 2023

  you can use https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa to set them up without the app, if you want. then they can be thrown on a wifi guest network without internet if you desire.

• I'm so impressed with Kasa
  1 project | /r/homeautomation | 24 Dec 2022

  https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa should allow you to set up offline
