**Update Nov 26:** TP-Link has now announced that they are working on a new firmware that should solve it. DM them for info.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We&#39;re sorry the recent firmware update has problems for the Kasa community. Since its release, we&#39;ve been busy creating a Beta firmware that&#39;ll enable people to continue to use third-party smart home software &amp; platforms using local APIs. Please DM if you&#39;d like the Beta firmware</p>&mdash; TP-LINK UK (@TPLINKUK) <a href="https://twitter.com/TPLINKUK/status/1331970582901100544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 26, 2020</a>

Last week TP-Link released an update for their HS100 and HS110 plugs that removed the local API. This was done because of a "security concern". I put this in quotes because it has not been verified and this reason has been given before when removing interoperability. TP-Link communicated this via Twitter in response to a user voicing their concern.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">There were security vulnerabilities on the plug for the local management, the latest firmware version fixed these security issues. It is suggested to use the TP-Link official App KASA to manage the plug. If you have issues, pls feel free to let us know.</p>&mdash; TP-LINK UK (@TPLINKUK) <a href="https://twitter.com/TPLINKUK/status/1328687659133399043?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2020</a>
