const { Client } = require('tplink-smarthome-api');

const client = new Client();
const plug = client.getDevice({ host: '10.0.1.2' }).then((device) => {
  device.getSysInfo().then(console.log);
  device.setPowerState(true);
});

// Look for devices, log to console, and turn them on
client.startDiscovery().on('device-new', (device) => {
  device.getSysInfo().then(console.log);
  device.setPowerState(true);
});

Install the command line utility with npm install -g tplink-smarthome-api. Run tplink-smarthome-api --help for help.

API docs can be found here.

For functions that send commands, the last argument is SendOptions where you can set the transport ('tcp','udp') and timeout, etc.

Functions that take more than 3 arguments are passed a single options object as the first argument (and if its a network command, SendOptions as the second.)

Thanks to George Georgovassilis and Thomas Baust for figuring out the HS1XX encryption.
