Remote Control No Longer Available in Kasa App - Local Only
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
When I first installed the switch in Dec 2018, all went well and I could control the HS200 switch remotely. In the Kasa App, under the switch settings, there was the option for remote control (toggle on/off). On Feb 27, 2019, the App was updated to version 2.9.0 and now I can’t remotely control the switch. I get a “Device Unreachable” error and sometimes I see a “local only” message below the switch name. In the new version of the app there is no longer the toggle to turn on remote control in the device settings of the switch. So, now, I can no longer remotely control the switch. What’s up with this? Any help please.

@JimT1000 : Make sure you turn your 5Ghz wifi off, HS200 only works with 2,4GHz wifi.
Use factory reset and install it again. If internet connected you should update the HS200 firmware to the latest version. Hope it will help!

Thanks David. I resolved this problem. It wa weird but all of my switches turned up as local only. Essentially, I had to redo everything and it worked fine. I only experienced it one other time since. Thanks for your reply.

Reseting my router fixed all the problems.
