Adding Support for TP-Link Smartplug and Spool Manager

[douglasdtlltd]

Use TP-Link Smartplugs and Spool Manager for more features & easier interface.

Replace PSU control and Filament manager from 2017 with newer apps and plug-ins.

I feel like both of these are better and more accessible than their counter parts. You dont need a strange PSU or solenoids, just a wifi plug. And I had no problem configuring Spool Manager. I had had trouble figuring out why I wasn't allowed to type in fields, and Filament manager wanted a database set up. Spool manager didnt need that. And if it did, it did it on its own.

Just because they're old doesn't mean that they stop working. PSUControl is still widely popular (more installations than TPLinkSmartPlug), so replacing some existing functionality won't happen.

Nevertheless: Support for TPLinkSmartPlug already has been added and will be released with v3.0.0. SpoolManager might take a little longer, since there is no proper API available. duplicate of #676.

When will the update be ready? I dont see a way that PSU control can turn off or on a wifi outlet? Also how is my post/request a duplicate, i just see "@angular/language-service"l or am i confused?

Probably in the next days. The beta is already available in the discord if you can't wait :).

Sorry linked the wrong issue. I updated the comment and the correct issue has been linked.

I believe also Tasmota support will make it into the next release?

Sure it can.

Yes Tasmota and Tasmota-MQTT will also be included thanks to you @jneilliii :)
