[APP] TP-Link Kasa Smart - by Athom

For the Community Developed App: [APP][Pro] TP-Link Smart Devices - central topic

Central topic for questions / discussing the Athom App:

Hello i am a new Beta user here, and i am having the same issue with KP115, I can not add them, i’ve tried HS110 but it doesn’t find them, is there another way to do it or will I need to wait until the update?
My EP10 and HS103 work but i also noticed my 4 KL125 light bulbs don’t show up?

Thanks

OK, missing a number of Kasa devices. I’m not sure how this works but here are more that should be there for Kasa:

KL125
KL400L5
HS210
HS200

A coloured light bulb, an LED light strip and a couple of light switches…standard and 3 way.

Add the KP125 to your list, as this outlet is the most popular in the US. Hopefully someone picks up your list :slight_smile:

I’m not holding my breath. I received a response to a support inquiry with the Homey Folks/Developer who has built the integrations that exist today. It didn’t sound like there was much interest there in taking it further…and this struck me as odd as the dimmer switch is present but the standard 2 and 3 way switches were not. Those should be straight forward given a dimmer has more feature/functions.

The did however recommended I reach out to Kasa as ultimately they should develop the integrations. The resulting thread can be found here: Homey Support for Kasa Devices - Smart Home Community

Maybe others can go and add their voice. Sadly, I will likely replace the Kasa products before anything is done about it.

is this about the app TP-Link Smart Devices App for Homey | Homey by @anne
or about TP-Link Kasa Smart App for Homey | Homey by Athom ?

Hello,

This is in reference to the Athom developed App which is the only one available to Homey Bridge users.

I expected but let’s keep it in the correct Topic,
So i Created a new Topic as the other Topic is for the discussing of the App by a hard working Community developer.

Sure, not a problem. I didn’t realize there were two apps for the same vendor’s products. Just received my bridge late last week and now learning the ropes. Not as broadly supported, or as straight forward, as the marketing would lead one to believe…but hoping it gets there!

Hey guys,
I want to know how much power my heat pump consumes on a daily basis so I’ve plugged it in a HS110 smart outlet.

I noticed that the power consumption of my HS110 smart plug is totally different in the Homey app than it is in the Kaza app (from Tp-link itself).
The homey’s value seems to be the incorrect one.
Anyone of you who knows where the problem is caused and how to get it solved?

(for the record: its the only device plugged in to it and then directly on the home grid so no other device is accidentally being measured too)

The Kasa app worked flawlessly when I only had two light switches. I recently added 4 WiFi plugs and now I’m getting random “rate limited” messages and devices are not available in the Homey dashboard (shows errors) If I try and switch them I get “rate limited” messages. They work fine in the Kasa app and work fine for a while after I restart the Kasa app in Homey.

Not sure if this fixed the issue…but I upgraded the firmware of the Kasa devices using the Kasa app and I haven’t had the “rate limited” error in a couple of days…

I’m new to Homey Pro and am trying the figure out the energy monitoring features I have been able to successfully add all my Kasa Slim EP25 smart plugs to Homey Pro but the energy level just shows 0 watts after turning on the device. I can’t even manually add how much wattage is being used from the plug like I can with my Eve Energy plug through Matter. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not supported with the kasa plugs?

Don’t use Kasa devices myself, but acc. the flow cards which are shown in the App Store, energy monitoring doesn’t seems to be supported. So my suggestions is to contact the Athom, the App developer.

A link for contacting Athom ist listed in the App Store:

Any plans for support for KS-240 fan/light combo switch?

Please submit a request to Athom, the app developer. This is mainly a user forum and this topic is not actively monitored by Athom.

Indeed several years later I have invested in Homey Pro after years of messing about with Smartthings only to find Kasa to be a nightmare. I am stunned Kasa are so feckless about it.

I’m probably going to be using all my Kasa kit in a ring fenced ecosystem for my office and the attic space. Getting replaced for anything else.

Welcome Phil!

This app is not developed by Kasa, but by Athom. I don’t know whether Kasa is involved, but I don’t think so. However, Athom is currently in the process of getting the manufacturers themselves to develop the apps. It may therefore make sense to make an request here.

But did you already know that there are two apps for Kasa devices?
This is the link to the Community Kasa app topic:

[APP][Pro] TP-Link Smart Devices KASA - central topic

The advantage of the Kasa Community app is that the devices are integrated locally, not via Cloud. In addition, @Sharkys, the programmer of the app, is very helpful. Please don’t forget to appreciate this… :wink:

I saw a discussion elsewhere that implied Kasa were less than helpful in providing access to their devices. I’m aware the app is not developed by them but it’s disappointing nevertheless. I have a lot of Kasa devices. I don’t seem to be able to connect many via either app but I will try to get the LAN app working. :+1:t2::blush:
