Model: Tapo P115  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Feature requests

1) Have "Router/modem" mode; where you can have plug check for internet access and if no-internet for X amount of time; power cycle the outlet..

2) Allow scheduling down to the second(or 5 seconds).. I power cycle some things nad it's 55 seconds unnecessary to wait to be able to turn it back on. 

3) Man the kasa/tapo apps are bloated/large.. Be nice to have a tiny app to just handle the plugs;  A win32 efficient plug program that works on any version of windows would be nice. and or web-interface

4) Allow changing Wifi SSID without factory resetting plug.

5) Add a time/second interval option to 'power off' on X wattage option .. ie: If over 600Watts turns plug off;   If over 600watts for X seconds(0 for immediately) turn plug off.

6) If a tp-link account is needed; have option to bind plugs to account; have option to not allow a reset to pair to new account without first removing from existing. This could allow users to 'see' ip address of stolen plugs if they have the registered/bound account and owner could give that information to police to trackdown (be handly  in investigating part of 'larger robberies/thefts)

6b) A plug that doesn't connect or link to any TP-link servers, app would need ip/port/password to access. No risk of compromised TP-link servers power cycling users plugs/devices..If there were x million smart plugs in a city controlled by cloud based servers; I could imagine hackers causing grid failures by scheduled mass outlet cycling ..

 

Just my thoughts after running some plugs for a while.
