One of the reasons I purchased these TP-Link devices is because they can be used without an Internet Connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up until now I needed an internet connection to set them up. I have figured out how to setup them without an Internet connection using the python-kasa utility I mentioned a few posts ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how it goes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the box should be a MAC address, add it to DHCP and make sure it has a proper DNS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power on the light bulb, it should start up its own wifi network and you can attach to that network and web in to the device<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Connect to Wifi it creates, it should be open<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Power on VM connected to that Wifi or Laptop device connected to that wifi, should be set to DHCP will get a 192.168.0.0\/24 IP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the python tools to scan and join the appropriate wifi network
kasa –host 192.168.0.1 wifi scan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

kasa –host 192.168.0.1 wifi join –password PSSWORDHERE mywifissid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
