As many of you are aware. Plum has been out of business for a while now. Many people (including myself) have experienced hardware issues with the lightpads (dimmer flickering, dead microSD cards, wifi drops, etc), as well as software issues provisioning or reconfiguring new or existing lightpads. I've removed all of my plum lightpads from my home (18 units!) and replaced them with Lutron Caseta. I'd encourage you all to do the same. No further support will be provided for any of this code.
A tool to manage Plum LightPads without the iOS app
Dependencies:
Python 2.7.10 (Python 3.x untested) Requests (pip install requests)
First you must initialize the local cache: python plum-probe.py --init --username PLUM_ACCOUNT_EMAIL_ADDRESS --password YOUR_PASSWORD
If that works, you can take the logical load IDs printed out during init (or with --list) and control it --(on/off/dim/status). See the help: python plum-probe.py --help
You can print the local cache with python plum-probe.py --list
-If you add/remove/change the layout of your lightpads, you should reinitialize the local cache. -You must allocate static IPs or use static DHCP to give your LightPads fixed IPs in order to avoid periodic reinitializations. The local IPs of your Plum dimmers are cached once detected to ensure minimum latency when sending commands.

Note experimental_plum_probe.py is functionally identical to plum_probe.py but with the ability --all_llid to batch apply a command to all Plum lightpads in the entire house. I do not recommend using this! Most people should just use plum_probe.py. However...it is a neat way to make all your lightpads glow the same color at the same time :)
It took me a lot of work to reverse engineer this. Please share credit if you reuse the code.
