First batch of smart plugs got added just fine. Decided to buy a couple more several months later during Black Friday sales. These new ones don’t get detected in Sense at all. Even though they set up perfectly fine in Kasa app and HomeKit, and are on the same Wi-Fi as the old plugs, which showed up …

Hi folks, Just spotted some info that says the Kasa EP25 (V2.6) is definitively not compatible with TP-Link’s original communications protocol. Some newer hardware versions of Kasa branded devices are now using the same protocol as Tapo branded devices. Support for these devices is currently limi…

Well, at least you got the one plug to work? At least that implies it’s not too far removed from getting the thing to work. Tech support thinks something changed in the TP Link APIs, which is unfortunate since the EP25s are likely the cheapest HomeKit smartplugs by far among the models that Sense su…

Sorry, what I meant was I had only tried 3 plugs at the time. I have since installed the 4th, this time using the “HomeKit Smart Plug (BLE)” option instead of the “HomeKit Smart Plug (Wi-Fi)” option. Both list EP25 in small print but I hadn’t noticed the (Bluetooth Setup) until last night when I wa…

Well my take since I am in the same boat is this, if this plug is not working and identified by Sense, then Sense should be removing this model number from their recommended smart plug list until it is resolved. Its very frustrating that it isn’t identified and the response I get from support is th…

[image] jefflayman: ks for confirming that the problem is not limited to one user. I don’t have any further suggestions for how to fix this, other than opening a sup I am having the same issue with the KP125M model as well. firmware is updated and on auto update, Firmware version 1.1.4 build …

Same issue here, with the new EP25, specs: Firmware Version 1.0.2 Build 231108 Rel.163012 Hardware Version 2.6 Previous models of EP25 worked with the following specs Firmware Version 1.0.13 Hardware Version 1.0

Just wanted to chime in that I’m experiencing this as well. Have been running Sense for a couple weeks now and decided to buy the 4 pack of EP25 plugs. As others have mentioned, they have the 2.6 hardware and do not work with sense. I found that the Home Assistant community is having the same issue.…

Same issue here. About 20 EP25s work fine, hardware version 1.6. New pack of EP25 Version 2.6 do not work with Sense.

Same issue as well I have an initial set on HW 1.x no issues. New order of the same model (EP-25) but newer HW 2.6 will not work with Sense.

I would like to toss my hat in the ring too, seems all of my KP-125 plugs no longer work in sense, rebooted everything, disabled Settings > Connected Devices > TPlink > Disable waited a few and reenabled and now it does not even find them. Everything works fine in the Kaza / HomeKit app. KP125 HW…

My older KP-125 still work…so far. If Sense is using the open source “Home Assistant” library for this integration, they have identified the root cause and seem to be close to fixing it. (seems to be a change in the encryption used in the newer TP-link plugs) Search for "** EP25 is no longer support…
