kasa-control

Overview

This works with all the initial features I intended:

• Runs as a low-impact service
• Scheduling for daily jobs
• Fully customizable routines, colors, transition times, etc. See config.yaml
• Full parallelism - both of routines and API calls. It can all execute simultaneously.
• One time jobs: power on, off, change brightness, customizable transitions
• Continuous jobs can rotate/siren through colors until a certain time

Note: set_brightness should also be used to turn lights on. They weren't really different enought to warrant different code.

I made this originally because the TPLink app does not support a number of things I wanted to do. And to learn some stuff.

Originally I thought about making it a container that runs as a continuous service, running scheduled routines and jobs.

Configuration

See config.yaml for more information about setting up routines and lights.

Docker

This is really meant to be run as a Docker container, but really can run on the CLI or in the background on any platform with Python3.

Get the image with docker pull pww217/kasa-control

Docker Compose

Here's an example docker-compose file. Very simple with all storage internal and no real need for fancy networking.

kasa-control:
      environment:
            - TZ=America/Chicago
      container_name: kasa-control
      restart: unless-stopped
      image: pww217/kasa-control:latest

Then docker-compose up -d to run it as a service.
