Kasa "non matter" devices not on compatability list anymore?

[djgutheinz]

@user7093

I'm having some problems with devices that us the TP link driver. They seem to stop reporting in to Hubitat so rules that work on state change stop working. Doesn't matter if I change state at the physical switch or through the Tapo app.

Driver is primarily designed to support activation via Hubitat - not the switch nor the Tapo App. One limitation of wifi devices in Hubitat is that getting status changes is not passive. Hubitat must send a refresh command which gets the current state. HOWEVER, you can change the Refresh Interval in Preferences down to as low as 5 seconds.

[user7093]

I already have the refresh for these particular switches set to 5 seconds. They work for a few hours, then state changes stop getting updated.

If I manually refresh them from the WEBUI, they start working again for a few hours, then stop communicating again.

This is only happening with the TP link driver. Devices that use the Kasa driver are working fine.

More information:

• What model is giving you an issue?
• What version of the integration are you currently on? You need to assure you are on 2.4.1a. This can be found in the logs on any log line.
• Any Log Warn in the logs for the device?
• On the device's "scheduled jobs" tab, are there any jobs scheduled? If so, I need to see that data. Example from one of my devices (I am looking for the refresh):

  • refresh 2025-04-15T16:34:03+0000 2025-04-15T16:33:03+0000 PENDING 3 */1 * * * ?

• I am testing vs 2.4.1a to see if I can duplicate. Initial look is all is OK.

models: KS205 & S505 (I just noticed these are matter devices...Should I switch these over to the Matter integration instead?)

Log shows 2.4.1a

Here's my logs:

*** I just triple verified that there is a static DHCP reservation for this device.

There are no scheduled jobs.

Here's the logs from an HS210 using the Kasa integration. You can see it's complaining about similar, but again, there is a DHCP reserved address. It is also functioning as expected, despite the errors.

models: KS205 & S505 (I just noticed these are matter devices...Should I switch these over to the Matter integration instead?)

The way you are using them, I would. (By that I mean you rely on a state change for other actions when the action is done externally via the Tapo app or direct pushing of a switch.)

I could not duplicate; however, your logs indicate a significant amount of LAN issues. Sometimes this is caused by routers dropping "inactive" devices because they can not handle the total number of devices. SEARCH on Google using "router dropping devices" for more information.
