Support for P100 Smart Plug about python-kasa HOT 9 CLOSED

We're all excitedly awaiting this PR to be finalized and merged in to use this module as the homeassistant integration.

And here is the original implementation of Android App:

I have tried an nmap scan on my P100 and it shows all closed except for 80. I have managed to capture some pcap files of traffic to and from the static IP, but I can't make sense of it. Presumably it is encrypted in a similar way as described here https://github.com/softScheck/tplink-smartplug. I tried loading to dissector, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I don't know if I should be seeing something about TP-link protocol, or if that is only after the dissector is working.

I have understood from somewhere that this series of devices is using a different app than the kasa app on mobile, and that it is also likely using a different communication protocol.

A few questions:

• I'm assuming the library in its current state is not working for you? Does any of the commands work?
• Can the bulb be controlled with the app even when they are not connected to the cloud? I.e., is there a local communication protocol?
• If the above is true, is it's probably worth investigating how it communicates. Maybe it's using the same protocol but a different port? Or maybe it's something completely different, in which case it's hard to say without further investigation what's the best way to proceed adding support for them (and/or if that should be a project of its own instead of adding support for a new protocol to this project).

We discussed about this on discord, the conclusion was that it's using a different protocol and is thus out of the scope of this project. If the state changes, feel free to re-open this.

Agreed. Thanks for your help anyway!

Looks like other product families are also starting to use a new, 80/tcp using protocol to plug a security issue, so I think it's worth to reopen this issue just in case the new protocol is the same as used by the P/tapo series.

@GDYendell could you check out if this PR allows communication with your devices: #117 ?

@rytilahti I would be happy to try it out. How do I run that branch of the integration on my home assistant instance?

There is a working HA integration as well:
