It abstracts device communication behind a component-based architecture, where each device (plug, bulb, hub) is composed of capability components like OnOff, Energy, Overheating, and sensors. The library handles multiple encryption protocols (Klap v1, Klap v2, Passthrough) and can auto-detect device type and protocol when given only an IP address and credentials.\n\nYou use it to discover Tapo devices on your network, connect to them by IP, and read or control their state\u2014turning plugs on/off, reading energy consumption, managing hub-connected sensors, and controlling smart bulbs and LED strips. All operations are async, making it suitable for integration into larger home automation systems or concurrent device management.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own TP-Link Tapo devices and need programmatic control. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12, and covers a wide range of Tapo hardware. The GPL-3.0-only copyleft license is a consideration for proprietary integrations. No known security vulnerabilities."},"id":"plugp100","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plugp100","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plugp100.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plugp100/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":"GPL-3.0-only","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"plugp100","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Controller for TP-Link Tapo P100 and other devices"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":137489,"position":11364,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.0.1"}
