## [0.11.0.1](https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa/tree/0.11.0.1)
(2026-10-04)

[Full
Changelog](0.10.2...0.11.0.1)

**Release summary:**

*Note: 0.11.0 was tagged but never published to PyPI due to a packaging
issue. 0.11.0.1 contains the same changes plus a fix for the release
workflow.*

This is a huge and long overdue release, coming more than a year and a
half after the previous one.
Hopefully the next one follows sooner, as the TPAP transport (which did
not make it into this release) is used more and more on newer devices.

This release brings broader camera support, new modules for lights,
vacuums and cameras, and many connectivity fixes for newer firmware
versions. Some other highlights:
- Improved Tapo camera support: login version 3, presets, wifi handling,
last alert detection, and more robust authentication and discovery.
- Selective room cleaning for robot vacuums.
- Configurable light strip length via the new strip segment module, and
an exposed light transition state change flag.
- Basic HomeKit module for Kasa (iot) devices.
- Energy monitoring V2 support (S515D).
- Better hub and thermostat state reporting (hold, summer mode, low
battery).
- Connection fixes for newer Tapo firmware and older SSL devices, plus
KLAP v2 for iot devices.
- More resilient time handling, with failover and UTC fallback for iot
devices.
- Python 3.14 is now supported.
- Inclusion of fixtures for 29 devices or firmware versions, including
the Tapo C460, C200 and C101 cameras and the KH100 hub with KE100/KE110
thermostats.

**Thank you to all contributors!**

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this release, whether
through code, device fixtures, bug reports or testing.

Special thanks to @ZeliardM for a huge effort on both features and
project maintenance, including but not limited to:
- Features like the HomeKit module for iot devices, iot time module
failover, wifi handling and credential improvements for cameras, Tapo
login version 3, and V2 energy monitoring for S515D.
- A lot of necessary maintenance work including type annotations and
cleanups throughout the test suite, modernized docstrings, CI hardening
with SHA-pinned actions, and many bug fixes. This helps us to keep the
library maintainable and open to new contributions.

The 0.11.0 upload failed only after the release was tagged and
published, which burned the version number due to immutable releases
(see #1779).

- Add a local `build-packages` action that builds the packages with the
release build constraints and runs `twine check --strict` on them.
- Run it in the lint job, so packaging issues are caught on every PR.
- Use the same action in the publish workflow.
