# tapo-local: reconstructing local control of the Tapo P110

> tapo-local implements local control of the TP-Link Tapo P110 smart plug using TPAP communication recovered from the Tapo Android app. Python clients provision the plug over BLE, then use Wi-Fi sessions with SPAKE2+ and AES-128-CCM for relay control, power readings and automation.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** A TP-Link Tapo P110 is required; setup uses BLE and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- **Prerequisites:** Python 3.10 or later is required, with bleak for provisioning and cryptography plus aiohttp for Wi-Fi control.
- **Limits:** The toolkit does not ship a verified helper for creating calendar schedule rules.
- **License:** MIT license.
