# python-kasa [![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/python-kasa.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/python-kasa) [![Build Status](https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/python-kasa/python-kasa/branch/master/graph/badge.svg?token=5K7rtN5OmS)](https://codecov.io/gh/python-kasa/python-kasa) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/python-kasa/badge/?version=latest)](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) python-kasa is a Python library to control TPLink's smart home devices (plugs, wall switches, power strips, and bulbs). This is a voluntary, community-driven effort and is not affiliated, sponsored, or endorsed by TPLink. **Contributions in any form (adding missing features, reporting issues, fixing or triaging existing ones, improving the documentation, or device donations) are more than welcome!** --- ## Getting started You can install the most recent release using pip: ``` pip install python-kasa ``` Alternatively, you can clone this repository and use `uv` to install the development version: ``` git clone https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa.git cd python-kasa/ uv sync --all-extras uv run kasa ``` If you have not yet provisioned your device, [you can do so using the cli tool](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#provisioning). ## Discovering devices Running `kasa discover` will send discovery packets to the default broadcast address (`255.255.255.255`) to discover supported devices. If your device requires authentication to control it, you need to pass the credentials using `--username` and `--password` options or define `KASA_USERNAME` and `KASA_PASSWORD` environment variables. > [!NOTE] > If your system has multiple network interfaces, you can specify the broadcast address using the `--target` option. The `discover` command will automatically execute the `state` command on all the discovered devices: ``` $ kasa discover Discovering devices on 255.255.255.255 for 3 seconds == Bulb McBulby - L530 == Host: 192.0.2.123 Port: 80 Device state: False Time: 2024-06-22 15:42:15+02:00 (tz: {'timezone': 'CEST'} Hardware: 3.0 Software: 1.1.6 Build 240130 Rel.173828 MAC (rssi): 5C:E9:31:aa:bb:cc (-50) == Primary features == State (state): False Brightness (brightness): 11 (range: 0-100) Color temperature (color_temperature): 0 (range: 2500-6500) Light effect (light_effect): *Off* Party Relax == Information == Signal Level (signal_level): 2 Overheated (overheated): False Cloud connection (cloud_connection): False Update available (update_available): None Device time (device_time): 2024-06-22 15:42:15+02:00 == Configuration == HSV (hsv): HSV(hue=35, saturation=70, value=11) Auto update enabled (auto_update_enabled): False Light preset (light_preset): *Not set* Light preset 1 Light preset 2 Light preset 3 Light preset 4 Light preset 5 Light preset 6 Light preset 7 Smooth transition on (smooth_transition_on): 2 (range: 0-60) Smooth transition off (smooth_transition_off): 20 (range: 0-60) == Debug == Device ID (device_id): soneuniqueidentifier RSSI (rssi): -50 dBm SSID (ssid): HomeNet Current firmware version (current_firmware_version): 1.1.6 Build 240130 Rel.173828 Available firmware version (available_firmware_version): None ``` ## Command line usage All devices support a variety of common commands (like `on`, `off`, and `state`). The syntax to control device is `kasa --host `: ``` $ kasa --host 192.0.2.123 on ``` Use `kasa --help` ([or consult the documentation](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#kasa-help)) to get a list of all available commands and options. Some examples of available options include JSON output (`--json`), more verbose output (`--verbose`), and defining timeouts (`--timeout` and `--discovery-timeout`). Refer [the documentation](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html) for more details. > [!NOTE] > Each individual command may also have additional options, which are shown when called with the `--help` option. ### Feature interface All devices are also controllable through a generic feature-based interface. The available features differ from device to device and are accessible using `kasa feature` command: ``` $ kasa --host 192.0.2.123 feature == Primary features == State (state): False Brightness (brightness): 11 (range: 0-100) Color temperature (color_temperature): 0 (range: 2500-6500) Light effect (light_effect): *Off* Party Relax == Information == Signal Level (signal_level): 2 Overheated (overheated): False Cloud connection (cloud_connection): False Update available (update_available): None Device time (device_time): 2024-06-22 15:39:44+02:00 == Configuration == HSV (hsv): HSV(hue=35, saturation=70, value=11) Auto update enabled (auto_update_enabled): False Light preset (light_preset): *Not set* Light preset 1 Light preset 2 Light preset 3 Light preset 4 Light preset 5 Light preset 6 Light preset 7 Smooth transition on (smooth_transition_on): 2 (range: 0-60) Smooth transition off (smooth_transition_off): 20 (range: 0-60) == Debug == Device ID (device_id): soneuniqueidentifier RSSI (rssi): -50 dBm SSID (ssid): HomeNet Current firmware version (current_firmware_version): 1.1.6 Build 240130 Rel.173828 Available firmware version (available_firmware_version): None ``` Some features present configuration that can be changed: ``` kasa --host 192.0.2.123 feature color_temperature 2500 Changing color_temperature from 0 to 2500 New state: 2500 ``` > [!NOTE] > When controlling hub-connected devices, you need to pass the device ID of the connected device as an option: `kasa --host 192.0.2.200 feature --child someuniqueidentifier target_temperature 21` ## Library usage ``` import asyncio from kasa import Discover async def main(): dev = await Discover.discover_single("192.0.2.123", username="un@example.com", password="pw") await dev.turn_on() await dev.update() if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` If you want to use this library in your own project, a good starting point is [the tutorial in the documentation](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html). You can find several code examples in the API documentation [How to guides](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides.html). Information about the library design and the way the devices work can be found in the [topics section](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics.html). ## Contributing Contributions are very welcome! The easiest way to contribute is by [creating a fixture file](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribute.html#contributing-fixture-files) for the automated test suite if your device hardware and firmware version is not currently listed as supported. Please refer to [our contributing guidelines](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribute.html). ## Supported devices The following devices have been tested and confirmed as working. If your device is unlisted but working, please consider [contributing a fixture file](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribute.html#contributing-fixture-files). > [!NOTE] > The hub attached Tapo buttons S200B and S200D do not currently support alerting when the button is pressed. ### Supported Kasa devices - **Plugs**: EP10, EP25\*, HS100\*\*, HS103, HS105, HS110, KP100, KP105, KP115, KP125, KP125M\*, KP401 - **Power Strips**: EP40, EP40M\*, HS107, HS300, KP200, KP303, KP400 - **Wall Switches**: ES20M, HS200\*\*, HS210, HS220\*\*, KP405, KS200M, KS205\*, KS220, KS220M, KS225\*, KS230, KS240\* - **Bulbs**: KL110, KL120, KL125, KL130, KL135, KL50, KL60, LB110 - **Light Strips**: KL400L5, KL420L5, KL430 - **Hubs**: KH100\* - **Hub-Connected Devices\*\*\***: KE100\* ### Supported Tapo\* devices - **Plugs**: P100, P110, P110M, P115, P125M, P135, TP15 - **Power Strips**: P300, P304M, TP25 - **Wall Switches**: S500D, S505, S505D - **Bulbs**: L510B, L510E, L530E, L630 - **Light Strips**: L900-10, L900-5, L920-5, L930-5 - **Cameras**: C210, TC65 - **Hubs**: H100, H200 - **Hub-Connected Devices\*\*\***: S200B, S200D, T100, T110, T300, T310, T315 \*   Model requires authentication
