This can be done either by using [kasa command-line tool](https://python-kasa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#provisioning) or by adding it to the official Kasa or Tapo app before trying to add them to Home Assistant. Some apps for TP-Link's other products, such as the Deco app, also allow you to add Kasa and Tapo devices. Since these devices use the same TP-Link Cloud Account for authorization, they work with this integration as well. If your device is a newer Kasa or Tapo device it will require your TP-Link cloud username and password to authenticate for local access. If you have an older device that does not currently require authentication, you may consider disabling automatic firmware updates to keep it that way.
