Public local API for P110
TP-Link, PLEASE provide and publish a local network API for querying/controlling these devices. For me it would only need to work on the local network, not the cloud. I have several P110s, and want to aggregate energy usage from them in real time. I already have a Raspberry Pi running my own software, monitoring my solar array output. I would very much like to incorporate energy usage figures from the P110s in the monitoring, so i can see how the usage looks against what is being generated.
I am aware that a few people have reverse-engineered the Tapo protocol, and I have tried to take up what they have done, but I have not had any success with it. And the risk with unofficial tools like this is that they can be made useless overnight by a firmware or App upgrade from TP-LInk. Please consider providing this officially. It could be made reasonably secure with some form of authentication as the current protocol has. But I am quite prepared to accept any risk in using such an API in my own software, on my own network.
