TP-Link Smart Plug Devices (HS100 and HS110) not compatible with TP-Link Kasa 0.6.3 Addon.

[einsteinagogo]

There is an issue with the TP-Link Kasa 0.6.3 Addon and HS100 and HS110 devices which are on Hardware Version 4.1 and Firmware version 1.1.1.

These are likely to be brand new devices from the factory, and not upgraded to 1.1.1.

More info as to why is here

A workaround is to obtain a downgraded firmware from TP Link, but in the future, it may be required that additional work is required on this Add-On to use a new function.

Confirmed using python-kasa and iot-plug that these devices are no longer discoverable, but these devices do work In Homebridge!

It looks like the library that Homebridge uses also has the same problem: plasticrake/homebridge-tplink-smarthome#154

I'll check through this issue on GitHub, because I'm working fine in Homebridge using homebridge-tplink-smarthome v6.1.0.

It's possible that Homebridge leaves the devices present, but no actions can occur, or status update, as with WebThings they just drop off!

What is the status of new Kasa devices working with the WebThings Addon? Are there still compatibility issues?
