TP-Link Kasa power strip

I second this. I setup a TP-Link power strip with the python-kasa cli and attempted to put it into my walled off NoT network. The thing would power cycle itself every 9 minutes. Looking at logs, it appeared to be calling out to the Internet, waiting for a response and then restarting itself if it didn't receive one. If I put it on my regular network with access to the outside world, it worked fine. This essentially made the device useless for me since it would cut the power to whatever I had plugged in to the outlets each time it restarted
