ive used a few kasa smart plugs for a while now and haven't provisioned one to a wifi network in a few months and I am unable to get the correct format down

im joining the tp-link open network then entering kasa --host 192.168.0.1 wifi join my_network
i then enter in my password with the prompt to no avail.

I've tried every conceivable configuration, providing my password as an argument:
kasa --host 192.168.0.1 wifi join --password my_password my_network
entering the information as strings
kasa --host 192.168.0.1 wifi join ssid='my_network'

could someone please provide the correct format for joining wifi with a hypothetical a ssid and password
