My configuration.yaml:

switch:
  - platform: tplink
    host: 192.168.0.154
    name: Kettle Power Switch

The ip address is correct, the plug is responding to pings, ports 80 and 9999 are open, 80 returns a content-type of ‘text/html’ with the body ‘…’ and 9999 will accept a telnet connection.

Hass version : 0.35.2
Python version: 3.5

Having a root through the source (not great with python, but I’ll try)

It looks like it could be when my mac is trying to listen for the response from the plug that it craps out.

do host and name need to be indented under the platform? And you may need to put the name in quotes. I’m not sure, I’m just guessing.

switch:
  - platform: tplink
      host: 192.168.0.154
      name: "Kettle Power Switch"

Googling that revealed this:

So looks like OSX behaves somehow differently, this needs to be fixed in pyHS100. Could you please file an issue to the upstream: GitHub - GadgetReactor/pyHS100: Python Library to control TPLink Switch (HS100 / HS110)
