Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While investigating https://github.com/lyricnz/tplink_ess/issues/22 it became apparently that tplink_ess is doing a lot of (blocking) io in the event loop in HA, which will be impacting overall HA responsiveness.
Describe the solution you'd like
This integration should be converted to real asyncio, though this may require changes to the downstream library.
Describe alternatives you've considered
hass.async_add_executor_job() could be a stop-gap
