• ❄️ Test Analytics: Detect flaky tests, report on failures, and find test suite problems.

Good evening, I have just purchased several of these outlets. While configuring them via the Android app, I updated the firmware on the first two. On the third, I skipped that. While testing, I found that kasa was unable to communicate with the ones with updated firmware but did work with the one with original firmware.

• updated firmware: 1.4.4 Build 260521 Rel.100818
• firmware as received: 1.4.2 Build 251204 Rel. 103056
• All are hardware version 1.0 (US)
• kasa is as installed using pip install python-kasa and identifies itself as kasa, version 0.10.2 and is running in a venv on Debian Trixie.

Earlier today I saw a note (WRT Matter integration with HASS IIRC) that these had to be enabled in the app to share with other devices. In the Tapo Android app I found "Third Party Compatibility" which is a user setting, not per plug. I enabled that and found kasa now works with the updated outlets. However, it no longer works with the non-updated outlet.

(I'm sure the devs that work with this are likely more frustrated than myself with the state of things and I worry that some future update may render the plugs non-working again.)

In the mean time, I did not see any mention of this "feature" in the README on the repo. I found two mentions of "Third Party Compatibility" in readthedocs in reference to cameras and it appears that this behavior has now been incorporated into the P125M.

It would have been helpful if this was mentioned in the very clear instructions already in the README. Of course if I can be of any help with any sort of testing in the field, please let me know.

Thanks to all who are carrying on with this work.

best,
