I have an Amazon Fire HD (bought half price in a sale) that I’m using as dashboard via the excellent “Micro Web Server” and “Dashboard Controller” apps. To prolong battery life I wanted to detect battery level below 20% and switch on the charger; and then detect battery level above 75% to switch it…

I’m getting this as well, if you repair the device that has this it works straight away, but then does it after after 2 or 3 on/off’s which does appear to be the homey app rather the the kasa side of it. Very annoying, much like all the zwave issues with the new homey pro.

@ all, please report to the app developer, otherwise this (long lasting bug) never gets addressed. You’ll find the correct support links at the homey.app store app page.

Your right, and I’ve done so - this is an Athom app, so hopefully they fix it.

I’m new to the Homey world! I have the same issue with Kasa and this post may help. Thanks for posting.

They’re working on it, see this thread about the rate limit ‘bug’: [image] [BUG] TP-Link Kasa devices get "rate limited" error every day Apps I unfortunately haven’t heard from TP-Link about the issue, will nudge them tomorrow to see if we can increase the limit. Sorry for…

I just had a reply from TP-Link today, it pretty much states the following; “Are you still encountering this problem now? Because from our side, the call does not reach this limit. We can consider temporarily continuing to increase TPS for verification issues” So we’ll raise it temporarily to see …

In my original post I said I thought the issue was with the App rather than the interface to TP-Link because restarting the app made the problem go away (until the next time). I didn’t do a long test but writing a flow to restart the app each night stopped the problem for the duration of the test. D…

The application avoids hitting rate limits immediately after restarting because it initiates with fewer calls. Over time, as it continues to run, the frequency of calls gradually increases. Regrettably, we cannot disclose the code as portions of it are subject to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

I am also having this issue still

I was able to turn 2 lights on and off about 10 times in a row and didn’t get the rate limit messages - seems pretty good to me
