HS100/HS110(UK) V4 Firmware 1.1.0 with Home Assistant - NOT
HS100/HS110(UK) V4 Firmware 1.1.0 with Home Assistant - NOT
Quoting:
Currently it's the UK version, but all of your devices suffer from this "local communication security risks". Are you planning to update the firmware for all of them? And provide betas for all of them to be rolled back?
If some day you find a *real* security issue how will the beta firmware users be informed of the risk, and how will you update their beta firmware?
Will it be possible to install this beta on newly purchased devices?
How will new customers discover the alternate beta firmware and request it be installed? Are you abandoning 3rd party integration support for future customers?
A better solution would be to make this an option that could be enabled in the firmware with the same warnings you have here. Do you really believe that the biggest risk to customers with have poor network security and weak network passwords is that someone will gain control their light switches and plugs?
This doesn't seem to be a coherent plan making it impossible to recommend the purchase of TP Link / Kasa devices. Currently your competition, Belkin WeMo, still provides local LAN control without any unnecessary security restrictions.

I don't understand this thread, I though TP-Link said nothing would change? Yet I read here [https://alerts.home-assistant.io/#tplink.markdown](Can't make a link, it's "illegal") that my HS110 is now essentially useless? O'm not seeing it appear in Home Assistant anymore... Can a company simply alter a product after selling it? It feels it bit like I was sold a bike, then after some time they take away the gearbox saying I'm safer with just a single gear.
I also wasn't emailed about this even though they have my mail address? What's going on!?
