Summary

  • Add a "Why cloud control?" section that clearly explains the library's differentiator vs local-network libraries like python-kasa
  • Add a "How it works" section summarizing V2 API auth approach
  • Normalize heading hierarchy throughout (consistent ## for top-level sections, ###/#### for subsections)
  • Link to python-kasa as the recommended alternative for local-only use cases

Context

Someone landing on the repo couldn't immediately tell why this library exists when python-kasa has 1,600+ stars and 90+ supported devices. The README now makes the cloud vs local distinction front and center.
