Dangers of manufacturer auto-updates

  • by

I noticed some of our (Tapo P110) energy monitors at home are no longer reporting in.

Compared good v bad plugs – firmware difference.

Quickly turn off auto update to preserve what remains.

Hack at the PyP100 python lib that handles the API calls a bit.

Seems the latest update broke something in that the JSON API calls are now responding with HTML.

Post to their forum for an uncorrupting firmware version to fix … and pray.
