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 limited as per TAPO branded devices:
- Kasa EP25 (plug) hw_version 2.6
- Kasa KP125M (plug)
I was going to try this diagnostic software and noticed the note about EP25s. I’m still going to try this code to see if it gives me hints about the occasional other Kasa plugs that fail to repose to Sense’s “emeter” commands.
UPDATE: I did try this utility on my Mac. Installed using ‘pip3’, Very useful for inventorying all Sense compatible smart plugs on my network.
