I recently installed Home Assistant and bought some TP-Link HS100 plugs so I can turn the heater / workbench lights in my workshop on and off, so it's nice and warm before I start work.

Two weeks after I'd got it all running on an old Raspberry Pi, TP-Link released a firmware update that nuked the HS100 plug's ability to be controlled via Home Assistant :/

There are quite a few irritated TP-Link customers, but to their credit, TP-Link do seem to be reverting the firmware for Home Assistant users.

Edit: once the firmware is reverted, I'll be blocking the plug's access to external networks! School boy error - I should have done that from the start, really!

This was my entry to HA too. A TPLink HS100 turns on my espresso machine and posts to slack when it has done so. It also posts to slack when I turn it off as it’s a bit of a monster and I don’t always remember to switch it off, so I can check.
