Is there a way to register my HS100 on wifi that is not password protected?

I use my devices locally within my house. I have a subnet set up that limits connections by IP.  I do not want to enter my wifi password into anyone else's app just to register it.

I think that this is a shortcoming of TPLInk.  If I want to connect to an unsecured LAN then give me a warning that it is unprotected but don't stop me from registering my device. I honestly think that consumers give away vital information way too easily.

Is there a way to register it without using my password?

 

Thanks.

No, our smart products are cloud base so they have to connect to your home Wifi.  However the the linking is still local.  Your not share your password with a 3rd party.  Think of the Kasa app as the interface and the plug as an adapter.  It no different than that.
