How does their app do it?

According to the developer working on the myq integration the official app uses mqtt somehow and doesn’t poll. He makes a lot of good points on this post about how this whole mess could have been avoided.

The Current State of MyQ - From the codeowner

Hey everyone - in case you did not see the news - the decision has been made to remove MyQ from Home Assistant. I’m sorry it came to this, and I am sorry I could not find a longterm solution for you all - this is not how I wanted all of this to end up. Chamberlain claims that third party applications like Home Assistant cause over half of their server load.

TP-Link HS110 Smart Plug disappears after latest firmware update

I was having problems with this plug giving occasional spurious power readings, so I checked for a firmware update on the app. There was an update to 1.1.0 available so I installed it. It seemed to install OK, and the device reappeared in the app. However, it’s no longer available in HA. I tried removing the integration and re-installing it, but it still doesn’t find it. I haven’t tried intalling the integration manually as I don’t want to reboot my system.
