Did you check if those fan/light controllers are actually supported by these Kasa apps?  
I didn’t find anything which looks / sounds like one @ homey.app app pages

The only thing you can do is

- request for device support
- return them and purchase supported devices
- use a virtual device to control them via Ghome  
Howto:

BUT:  
A standard virtual switch doesn’t do the trick anymore

You’ll have to use a virtual kettle (or lock, but a “kettle device type” mimics a switch better):

> Yeah that seems to be the case, unfortunately. But, after quite a while of experimenting, I found out it still works with a virtual lock - literally ‘lock’. There’s no ‘unlock’ available for Ggl routines as far as I could find. EDIT: setting device class to “Kettle” works great. The [advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198): With the avd settings, I use the shower light (“Spiegel lamp Badkamer”) to control the lock, without any flows:

(Maybe there’s other device classes which work as well, but I didn’t try [all 79 of 'em](https://apps-sdk-v3.developer.homey.app/tutorial-device-classes.html))
