Nice, will your app fix my problem below?

@JJJ123 I don't think that it will help in your situation.

This library enables you to programmatically interact with your devices. It does not change how the devices interact with the mobile Tapo app.

  @FaithRaven Hi

Do you have any idea how to get at the energy usage of a Tapo bulb?   The "get_energy_usage" method which works for the plug returns an error for the bulb, but the Tapo iOS app shows energy consumption for the bulbs, so there must be a way!

  @acarter 

get_energy_usage is a feature unique to P110, as per the Device Support table.

While the bulbs don't offer the advanced energy usage monitoring of P110, they do offer some.

get_device_usage will return the Time Usage, Power Usage and the Estimated Saved Power for today, the last 7 days and the last 30 days.

  @FaithRaven  Thanks!

Release v0.3.0 brings a new `set` API that allows multiple properties to be set in a single request for the L510 and L530 devices.

Next up, I plan to add support for L930 devices.

Release v0.4.0 adds the `get_energy_data` for P110 devices.

Release v0.6.0 brings the much-anticipated support for light strips (L900, L920 & L930), more bulbs (L610 & L630) and improved ergonomics.

Tapo v0.7.0 adds support for the H100 hub and most of the sensors and switches it interacts with.
