I apologize if this clutters up your issue system, but I couldn't find any better place to ask a question. I'm working under windows and would like to send commands to an HS100 smartplug. I didn't quite see how to install the module under windows (using pip for example), so I just downloaded and put the kasa directory in the same directory as my script and that seems to let the import happen fine.

But, in my code I have:

from kasa import SmartPlug
from pprint import pformat as pf

# Define the connection to the TPLink HS100 smart plug using the kasa module
plug = SmartPlug("192.168.0.99")
#print("Hardware: %s" % pf(plug.hw_info))
#print("Full sysinfo: %s" % pf(plug.get_sysinfo())) # this prints lots of information about the device

print("Alias is", plug.alias)

As soon as I try to do anything with plug, it fails assertion saying:

  File "bla\kasa\smartdevice.py", line 110, in wrapped
    assert self._sys_info is not None

I'm guessing this means the library isn't connecting to the plug. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there anything under windows that might be breaking this?
