[DEPRECATED] Kasa Plug, Switch, and Bulb integration

djgutheinz · February 10, 2024, 8:13pm

A lot of discussion on finding devices. Aside from Static IP address, see the below:

Aussie · February 28, 2024, 10:29pm

WRT Migrating from Community App what is the correct method to uninstall the deprecated app?

Do I need to manually delete all Kasa devices ...
Using the devices list
Using the Kasa app "Remove Kasa Devices"
Then use HPM to uninstall "Kasa Plugs Switches and Bulbs"
Install the built in app
Discover Kasa devices
Fix any RM apps that failed

djgutheinz · February 28, 2024, 10:58pm

looks, except you can simply open the Kasa App and delete it (the Kasa app). That will remove the associated devices.

Thanks for the response ... i finally got some time to do the update. I has a few hiccups (I can publish the process if anyone is interested) ... but the built-in app is running!!!

Using the built in integration, I added a couple more bulbs at a remote location but hubitat will not detect them, even though they are in my cloud Kasa account. Any thoughts?

djgutheinz · March 31, 2024, 9:55pm

What do you mean by remote location?

scoob8000 · April 1, 2024, 12:09pm

On a different wireless network at my dads house.

I added a few bulbs there a couple weeks ago, and ran detection and it picked them up as cloud devices. They still work and are controllable from hubitat.

I just added two more bulbs, but detection isn't picking them up in the integration. (I do see them in the kasa app, and are controllable there)

Here's the logs with debugging turned on.

djgutheinz · April 1, 2024, 1:26pm

Discovery is working; however, it is finding a lot of devices not controllable via cloud (see list below). These devices are not controllable via cloud. (Look for "reason:not controllable via cloud" in lines above.)

For the two devices that you can not detect, go to the Kasa/Tapo App deviceInfo for the devices.

What model is listed? (please be explicit).
MAC Address?
HW Version?
Firmware Version?

I ask this detail to fully investigate what is going on. There are a LOT of potential issues - but this code appears to be working as planned.

Potential issues:

You had previously disconnected (unbound) the device from cloud control and have not reconnected before locating remotely. This may require a re-installation of the device.
The device is a newer Kasa device Hardware Version that has converted to a different API. I have a solution here.

I will work with you, as required. Dave

scoob8000 · April 1, 2024, 2:34pm

Thanks. The two new bulbs I can't get detected are:
Model: KL135
HW Ver: 1.0
Firmware 1.0.13
MAC: 3c:52:A1:4C:D3:C4 / 3C:52:A1:4D:17:04

These two are brand new, just paired in Kasa for the first time yesterday.

FWIW, I checked a couple other bulbs that I added a few weeks ago that do work via Hubitat. Model/HW/And Firmware are the same on them.

So another update. I'm not sure when, but apparently the cloud connected devices that were working, stopped working from Hubitat. I don't know if they quit working when I tried discovering the new bulbs or if they hadn't been working longer.

Dad has been in the hospital for awhile now and I started putting these bulbs in his house to make it look like someone is home. Scheduling from hubitat was so much easier and flexible than using the Kasa app

djgutheinz · April 1, 2024, 4:29pm

Both devices were in the cloud data as status = 0. This means that the cloud could not connect to them for some reason. Testing with my one remaing KL135, showing raw data from the server:

With device plugged-in (i.e., connected to WAN. Note the status at END is 1 - which means connected.

[alias:test, appServerUrl:https://use1-wap.tplinkcloud.com, deviceHwVer:1.0, deviceId:80120BD33E81C7312EA556E026B3F4951E660A05, deviceMac:E848B8B5586A, deviceModel:KL135(US), deviceName:Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb with Color Changing, deviceRegion:us-east-1, deviceType:IOT.SMARTBULB, fwId:00000000000000000000000000000000, fwVer:1.0.13 Build 220714 Rel.162126, hwId:CCCEA814DB7786E5A00F65412AAD11CE, isSameRegion:true, oemId:C1AC4843FD5824205B8C51C5131FB350, role:0, status:1]

With the device unplugged (forced off WAN), the status is 0 - not connected.

Possible reasons:

Bulb was installed locally using the Kasa Phone App;, however, it is on a Guest Network (SSID) that does not have WAN (internet) access. It would still be controllable via the phone app when in wifi range of the phone - but not controllable when accessed outside wifi range.
Bulb was dropped from your router at the remote location after you left. (This has happened to me in the past - too many devices on a single router.)
Bulb is on a power circuit that can be turned off remotely and has no power (included for completeness).

scoob8000 · April 1, 2024, 6:44pm

That's weird. I can remotely control all the devices at his house from the kasa app. But still not discover the two new bulbs, and the existing devices that were working from hubitat no longer do.

FWIW, there are 6 KL135 bulbs, and KP115 plug. The plug too I can control from the app, but not from hubitat.

djgutheinz · April 1, 2024, 7:58pm

Know of no other reason for the failure nor how to fix it. It is not an issue since the design is for local control of local devices.

scoob8000 · April 1, 2024, 8:11pm

Gotcha. Off topic, but is there any other tools you know of to work with Kasa cloud stuff? It is so cumbersome to build schedules and automation via their app.

djgutheinz · April 1, 2024, 10:42pm

Samsung Smart Things may work (and not require a Hub). Also, Amazon Alexa has integrations for voice and rules control.

Issues installing Matter and new Kasa HW Versions in the Built-In App.

See the link below:

scoob8000 · July 9, 2024, 12:20pm

So I just started having a new issue with the built in Kasa integration a day or two ago. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started or if it happened organically or after updating my hub..

Many Kasa (non matter) devices are not controllable or reflecting status from Hubitat but work fine from the Kasa app.

First I noticed a dimmer not working, so I went to the integration to try the ping test. No devices show up to ping.

I tried running a scan for new devices to add, just for giggles. It found all my existing devices, but for some reason about half of them are showing cloud and not local now.

After that, my dimmer works again but some of the other devices do not.

Upon closer look, it seems like the devices that show CLOUD for the ip address in the device settings do not work. The ones that still have their IP listed work as expected.

Any ideas?

djgutheinz · July 9, 2024, 3:21pm

if they are set as Cloud on the Devices Edit page, they will remain as cloud. See alternative below.

Two possibilities:

Two factor authentication causes the cloud interface to fail. See Below from app page. Disabling is done in the Kasa phone app.
Your credentials need updating in the Hubitat Kasa app.

Alternative (should work, but no guarantee) - disable cloud on one device using preferences, re-execute the app discovery, and see if that works. If it does for one, it should for all.

scoob8000 · July 9, 2024, 4:53pm

Just checked, two step is turned off in my app.

When I try to disable cloud in one device, after I hit save prefrences, it comes back with cloud binding back on again, and cloud control back on again.

For giggles I re-ran discovery and this time some devices that were cloud have IP's, and others that had IPs before now show cloud. So I ran it again, and it seems like each time it changes which ones are cloud and whick ones have IP's.

I turned on debug logging, before running discovery but not much useful info:

And here is what I get if I turn on debug logging for a device, when I try turning cloud back off and hitting save

jtp10181 · July 10, 2024, 12:36am

Do you have any devices that require the cloud connection to work?
All of mine work locally, so I have totally logged the Kasa app out of my account and turned off the cloud binding on all the devices. I wonder if logging out would force it find them on the LAN? If I remember correctly, I possibly just had to put in a fake username so it could not connect to Kasa cloud, there was no way to actually "log out".

djgutheinz · July 10, 2024, 12:10pm

Did you refresh your credentials in the Hubitat Kasa App?

If that does not work, I would reinstall the Kasa Integration after assuring that all your devices are on the same LAN segment and same network (SSID) as the Hubitat device.
