ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am not associated with TP-Link in any way, except as a customer. The information on the TP-Link protocol came from several sources, including:
IT Nerd Space
http://itnerd.space/2017/01/22/how-to-control-your-tp-link-hs100-smartplug-from-internet/
Original blog post that I found that gave me the idea to write a Perl module.
softScheck's "tplink-smartplug" project on GitHub
https://github.com/softScheck/tplink-smartplug
Great documentation on the TP-Link smart plug devices, including a more-or-less complete documentation of the JSON API.
GadgetReactor's "pyHS100" project on GitHub
https://github.com/GadgetReactor/pyHS100/
A python library to control TP-Link gear. Their issue tracker gave me the details needed to communicate with the device directly over TCP.
