Devices showing up in Now tab but not under devices tab

OK - I’m counting 8 smartplug outlets in your device list, and I see at least one more on the iMac. Are you saying that bubbles appear for all of these, even when they are showing as ‘off’ in the Device list ?? That’s unusual. Just so you know, there is a range of feedback from smartplugs in the device list - I did some experiments a while back. There might be more possibilities, but this is what I found.

A Real Disconnect
Button shows “n/a” - likely networking problem. Could be anything from WiFi issues, router issues, too many smart plugs or an unpowered smartplug.

Smart Plug turned off
Button shows “off” - No surprise here, the smart plug is turned off, either via the button on the smart plug or via Kasa/Sense control.

Smart Plug / Sense combo sees “zero” power
Button shows “on”, but icon is greyed out and there is no power reading. Power has fallen below Sense’s threshold for “off”, 0.5W (may change in the future).

You can compare to a smart plug’s working “on” behavior below.
