This is why I buy TpLink Kasa switches and plugs and use the hs100 code on github to activate them only to local server, so they never phone home to tplink servers.
Does that work for devices not listed? I’ve got 2 KP125 and a few other things. It works fine but would be nice to decouple.
It does work for many not listed, but no guarantees from the dev. And there are some sold where the firmware version blocks this path. But I have had success with six separate plugs and a dimmer. None were listed in the supported product numbers
This also looks promising https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa
Oh interesting. I have a few kasa items
I been using TP-Link Matter junk with Home Assistant.
Im using homeassistant also, just used the git code to change their built in server lookup, and associate them to wifi
