TP-Link / Kasa
The TP-Link/Kasa plugin is included in the standard XTension distribution and supports the currently shipping appliance modules, dimming modules, non-color bulbs, color bulbs and color temperature bulbs as well as their multi-controllable outlet power strips.
Note: This plugin uses an undocumented protocol to talk to the devices on the local network and therefore does not require internet access or for the devices to be connected to the cloud in order to work. This is the same protocol that their iOS and Android app uses to control the devices when on the same subnet. While I hope it is unlikely they could change this at any moment making the plugin unusable. I would recommend that before updating any devices firmware in the future that you verify either on this site or by experimenting with one device that things continue to work properly.
