| TP-Link Router | Partly works Local | LuCI firmware needs web-encrypted password; plaintext login PR closedSaved copyWraps the admin password entered in plaintext so the TP-Link LuCI AP/extender firmware (RE500X/RE505X/RE813XE/RE700X) can log in without capturing the web-encrypted value from the browser devtools. - re_encrypt.py: fetch the device RSA public key ([n,e]) unauth via /cgi-bin/luci/;stok=/login?form=login&operation=read, RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 encrypt the plaintext -> 256 hex. Pass-through unchanged if the stored value is already >=200 chars (no double-encryption). Falls back cleanly when pycryptodome is unavailable. - init.py / config_flow.py: encrypt for the client only; store plaintext. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | PR #430 · 2026-10 |

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
