Sense Communication Crashing with Kasa Devices Connected

This is more a limitation on the Kasa side. When sense asks for the emeter data the Kasa device responds with everything.

For the HS300, Sense gets a list of plugs from the device, and then polls each plug separately ptp.

Smart Plug limit?

So, a little packet sniffing sheds some light… Sense works with the KP115s and the HS300s quite differently. For the KP115s, Sense sends a single link local broadcast packet (109 bytes) requesting both system info and power measurements. All KP115s respond with their current system and power values. The response packets are surprisingly large (760+ bytes) due to inclusion of complete system information (~85% of the packet). For the HS300, Sense sends a sends a point-to-point packet (183 bytes…

Edit: No hue devices.
