My router (TP Link) said it had a firmware update. I’m a responsible adult, so I update my firmware. When I log back in, I get this popup that they’d like to share my clients info.

cool…

    I haven’t seen the lights go red, only off, then orange, then green if they were already on.

    Of my KP105 and KP115 plugs, only one has misbehaved, only once when their server was unreachable. The main culprit is the Kasa 303 I think it’s called? The 3-outlet adapter.

    They are great devices! But I’m waiting for a Zigbee or Matter alternative with energy monitoring so these can be swapped out

      Gotcha. So with a few exceptions they overall seem perform well across the board.

      Once upon a time I dreamed of switching them all out for something better, and was actually looking forward to Tapo with matter support.

      But for my uses I’m basically pulling the plug. My switches are smart enough. I can do schedules, profiles, and control with the app.

      I don’t need more than that and there’s not really a privacy focused option as far as I know. Blocking internet is my solution to keep things contained.
