Hi, does anyone know if there is a node limit for the KASA plugin? I seem to be maxed out at 20. I had 19 working, added 3 new KASA HS103 from the same 4 pack, and only the 1st unit I setup with KASA app shows as a node. Seems strange it's a nice number like 20 to stop at.

@shawnv not sure of a limit, but if you're not able to get more recognized you can install the plugin into another slot and see if that will recognize the other devices. That might be a workaround if there is a limit. Perhaps @Jimbo.Automates can chime in to advise if there's a limit.

Thanks @Geddy that seems like a solid idea! I'll report back...

Hi @Jimbo.Automates, Any updates on this issue? I have the same problem. Just added 2 plugs and they will not discover. I tried reinstalling the plugin and now I'm stuck at only 18 counting the controller.

Thank you.

My Polyglot page is currently showing 42 Kasa nodes, and I'm not having any issues. My guess is it's been at least a year since I've added any Kasa devices to my Polisy.

Update:

I believe my issue is related to the firmware version of the EP10 plug. The plugs not recognized by the plugin are v1.1.1. All other plugs are v1.0.5. Attached is an ominous message from the release notes, I'm not liking the sound of the 2nd bullet point.

@Jimbo.Automates , have you run into this version? I had 2 brand new plugs that I plugged in and it forced me to upgrade to 1.1.1 when I added them to my network.

There are some threads on the web that talk about downgrading the plugs, but so far I have not found the bin files. The TP-Link website says they don't support downgrading because of security issues.

2nd Update:

python-kasa and KLAP authentication - Smart Home Community

talks about the implementation of KLAP 1.(KASA Local Authentication Protocol). Hopefully this is something Jim can work with to allow V1.1.1 to work with the plug in.

I found a solution.

In the Kasa app they provide a way to disable the KLAP security feature or something equivalent to that.

Go to Me > Settings > Third-Party Compatibility and turn it on.

I restarted the plugin and it found the 2 plugs with V1.1.1 firmware.

Success!

Those devices should work with the beta release without disabling security, but I can't say for sure. I think I have one and will check firmware.
