Yes, it is possible. The older devices use 9999/udp for discovery and 9999/tcp for communications. For newer devices that require authentication, the discovery port is 20002/udp with communications done via 80/tcp. You didn't mention if you are planning to use the API or the cli tool, but for API access you can use SmartDevice.connect() and pass |

Thank you for the information. However, I am looking for a solution that does not involve port forwarding. The Kasa app can control the devices from anywhere without port forwarding, so there must be a way to achieve this via an API. Is there a method to connect to and control the devices over a different network without relying on port forwarding? @rytilahti Thank you. |

I think there are some libraries on GitHub that implement communications over the tplink cloud, but I'm not familiar with those so I cannot really help here, sorry! |

Hello, I don't remember off the top of my head, but you could try the tplink-cloud-api library. |

I am trying to control my devices with a custom voice assistant that will run on an external server. Is there a way to discover devices or connect them when not on the same network?
Thank you.
