Tapo v0.11.1 adds TPAP protocol support
What happened
An unofficial TP-Link Tapo client, tapo, added support for TP-Link's TPAP protocol in v0.11.1, as reported on the Hacker News front page on October 6. The client ships Rust and Python libraries. With this update, users can connect lights, plugs, power strips, the H100 gateway and some cameras without turning on the Third-Party Compatibility switch in the Tapo app. The report says camera support covers some models but does not list which ones.
