The `tplink` platform allows you to detect presence by looking at connected devices to a [TP-Link](https://www.tp-link.com) device.

Currently supported devices includes the following:

- Archer C7 firmware version 150427
- Archer C9 firmware version 150811
- EAP-225 AP with latest firmware version
- Archer D9 firmware version 0.9.1 0.1 v0041.0 Build 160224 Rel.59129n

<p class='note'>
TP-Link devices typically only allow one login at a time to the admin console. This component will count towards your one allowed login. Depending on how aggressively you configure device_tracker you may not be able to access the admin console of your TP-Link device without first stopping Home Assistant. Home Assistant takes a few seconds to login, collect data, and log out. If you log into the admin console manually, remember to log out so that Home Assistant can log in again.
