Implementation file for Vera home automation system and TP-Link HS1xx WiFi-plug integration

NOTE! Firmware version 1.1 is known to break TP-Link HS1xx local integration

More information here :

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/236268?page=1

Upload implementation file I_TP-Link-HS1xx-Switch.xml to Vera via the Web UI from menu :

Apps->Develop apps->Luup files->Upload

https://support.getvera.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021950473-Apps-Tab-Plug-Ins

Then you can create the TP-Link HS1xx device using this URL from browser, filling in appropriate values to VERA-IPADDRESS and PLUG-IPADDRESS.

https://VERA-IPADDRESS:3480/data_request?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=CreateDevice&deviceType=urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:BinaryLight:1&internalID=&Description=TP-Link%20HS-1xx&UpnpDevFilename=D_BinaryLight1.xml&UpnpImplFilename=I_TP-Link-HS1xx-Switch.xml&RoomNum=0&Reload=1&IpAddress=PLUG-IPADDRESS

TP-Link-HS1xx needs to have static IP assigned in the router with DHCP server it connects to and the Kasa (TP-Link) app should not be used as Kasa cloud connection may disable the local mode this implementation uses.

I would recommend using a firewall to disable Internet access for the WiFi-plug as it will try to phone home to China even in local mode. It will also try to connect to various NTP servers and doing destination NAT in the firewall for the NTP servers help.

Tested on Vera Edge using HS100 V2.0 SW version 1.5.4 Build 180815 Rel.121440

The implementation uses the same Smart Home protocol as this python tool https://github.com/softScheck/tplink-smartplug

That is very useful tool for setting up the plug initially

tplink_smartplug.py -t 192.168.0.1 -j '{"netif":{"set_stainfo":{"ssid":"<WIFI SSID>","password":"<WIFI PASSWORD","key_type":3}}}'`
