Python library for communicating with the TP-Link Cloud API to manage TP-Link Kasa Smart Home devices
Project description
tplink-cloud-api
A Python library to remotely control TP-Link smart home devices using their cloud service - no need to be on the same network as your devices
This is a Python port of Adumont's Node.js module: https://github.com/adumont/tplink-cloud-api
Introduction
The tplinkcloud
Python module allows you to remotely control your TP-Link smartplugs (HS100, HS103, HS105, HS110, HS300, KP115) using the TP-Link cloud web service, from anywhere, without the need to be on the same wifi/lan.
It's especially useful in scenarios where you want to control your devices from public web services, like IFTTT, Thinger.io, Webtask.io, Glitch.com, Tasker (Android)...
Device Compatibility
The following devices are officially supported by the library at this time:
- HS300 (Smart Plug Power Strip with 6 Smart Outlets)
- HS100 (Older Smart Plug - Blocks two outlets as a single outlet)
- HS103 (Smaller Single-Socket Smart Plug - 12 Amp)
- HS105 (Smaller Single-Socket Smart Plug - 15 Amp)
- HS110 (Older Smart Plug - Blocks two outlets as a single outlet)
- KP115 (Small Single-Socket Smart Plug - 15 Amp; replacement for HS110)
- KP303 (Smart Plug Power Strip with 3 Outlets)
Installation
The package is availble via PyPi and can be installed with the following command:
pip3 install tplink-cloud-api
To install it from the repo, clone the repo and cd into the directory:
git clone https://github.com/piekstra/tplink-cloud-api.git
cd tplink-cloud-api
You can install this library with pip
:
pip3 install .
Usage
Authenticate
Instantiating a TP Link Device Manager automatically logs in with your TP-Link credentials, caches the login token, and fetches your devices. The current TP-Link Cloud API Url (https://wap.tplinkcloud.com) is assumed if not provided explicitly.
from tplinkcloud import TPLinkDeviceManager
username='kasa@email.com'
password='secure'
device_manager = TPLinkDeviceManager(username, password)
Retrieve devices
To view your devices, you can run the following:
devices = device_manager.get_devices()
if devices:
print(f'Found {len(devices)} devices')
for device in devices:
print(f'{device.model_type.name} device called {device.get_alias()}')
Control your devices
Smart Power Strips (HS300, KP303)
Toggle a plug:
device_name = "My Smart Plug"
device = device_manager.find_device(device_name)
if device:
print(f'Found {device.model_type.name} device: {device.get_alias()}')
device.toggle()
else:
print(f'Could not find {device_name}')
Replace My Smart Plug
with the alias you gave to your plug in the Kasa app (be sure to give a different alias to each device). Instead of toggle()
, you can also use power_on()
or power_off()
.
To retrieve power consumption data for one of the individual plugs on the power strip:
import json
power_usage = device_manager.find_device("My Smart Plug").get_power_usage()
print(json.dumps(power_usage, indent=2, default=lambda x: x.__dict__))
If you want to get multiple devices with a name including a certain substring, you can use the following:
device_names_like = "plug"
devices = device_manager.find_devices(device_names_like)
if devices:
print(f'Found {len(devices)} matching devices')
for device in devices:
print(f'{device.model_type.name} device called {device.get_alias()}')
Smart Plugs (Not Power Strips) (HS100, HS103, HS105, HS110, KP115)
These have the same functionality as the Smart Power Strips, though the HS103 and HS105 do not have the power usage features.
Testing
This project leverages wiremock
to test the code to some extent. Note this will not protect the project from changes that TP-Link makes to their API, but instead verifies that the existing code functions consistently as written.
Local Testing
Note that the tests setup leverages the local_env_vars.py
file. The values for those environment variables need to be set based on the following:
TPLINK_KASA_USERNAME
:kasa_docker
- This must have parity with thelogin
body
specified intests/wiremock/mappings/login_request.json
TPLINK_KASA_PASSWORD
:kasa_password
- This must have parity with thelogin
body
specified intests/wiremock/mappings/login_request.json
TPLINK_KASA_TERM_ID
:2a8ced52-f200-4b79-a1fe-2f6b58193c4c
- This must be a UUID V4 string and must have parity with thelogin
body
specified intests/wiremock/mappings/login_request.json
. It must also match thetermID
query parameter in all mocked requests found hereTPLINK_KASA_API_URL
:http://127.0.0.1:8080
- This URL is simplyhttp://127.0.0.1
but the url port must have parity with thedocker-compose.yaml
wiremock service's exposed httpport
.
To run tests, you will first need to start the wiremock service by running:
docker-compose up -d
Then, you can run the actual tests with the following command:
pytest --verbose
GitHub Testing
This project leverages GitHub Actions and has a workflow that will run these tests. The environment configuration for the tests must have parity with the local_env_vars.py
file from the local testing.
