Do I have to set up IFTTT when I sign up with Kasa?
No, you are free to set-up IFTTT whenever you want. Begin the set-up by going to Devices, Select Add, Select Works with Kasa, and Select IFTTT. Proceed with the set up
What do I need to sign up for IFTTT?
You need either a Smart Plug, Bulb, or Switch as well as a Kasa Account. It is not possible without a Kasa Account and a compatible device.
What devices are currently compatible?
Currently, there is only support to control Smart Plugs, Smart Bulbs, and Smart Switches.
How do I control my devices with IFTTT?
You can control your devices with IFTTT by accessing the Set-Up guide by going to Devices, Add Device, Works with Kasa, and selecting IFTTT.
How do I sign up for IFTTT?
You can sign up on their website by accessing https://ifttt.com/join or via the mobile app on iOS or Android.
When I try to connect Kasa through IFTTT, why doesn't it work?
If the connection doesn't work, please check to see if you have devices connected to your Kasa account. The integration may not work if you have no active devices connected to the account.
How do I disconnect my Kasa account from IFTTT?
You must disconnect TP-Link Kasa through the IFTTT App itself. Go to the Service page, Select Settings, then Select Disconnect. This will also delete any Applets that require the service.
I have Applets set up with IFTTT but they are not working?
It is possible that Cloud Services are currently down and not operational. Please refer to both http://status.ifttt.com/ and http://www.tp-link.com/us/support/status.
My devices are being controlled randomly, how do I make it stop?
Check if you have any Kasa Schedules or Scenes enabled. After that, check all of the “Works with Kasa” Services (Stringify, IFTTT, Amazon Alexa, Google Home Assistant) and by going directly to their applications and pinpoint the source of the problem.
Why can’t I control my devices even though all cloud services are up and running?
Go into the settings of each individual device and make sure that “Remote Control” of Device Control is enabled and toggled on.

It would be great to receive a push notification wether the plug is turned on or off. Specially if I’m programming a range of time, I’d like to know when it starts working and turns off

By "later" do you mean after I'm dead? It's been nearly 3 years and still no IFTTT triggers. I never would have invested in Kasa devices had I known you didn't fully support IFTTT.

Hello Support, I have to agree here. I actually moved to Kasa, from WeMo, as other people said it worked and played well with IFTTT and WeMo support was hopeless.
I was dissapointed to find that I can barely do anything with IFTTT and the smart plugs, as they cannot be used as a trigger.
The energy monitoring is OK, however i was also used to being able to set a threshold for "Standby" and monitor how many hours the devices was "Running" as opposed to the smart switch simply being turned On. WeMo would also give me daily and monthly running costs as I could enter the $/kWh into the device.
I am wondering if I went from a mostly functional & highly developed interface, to a functional yet limited device. If the Kasa app and devices supported their own triggers & functions this would be OK with me as well, however there aren't any for the smart plugs. The pages just say, "We're in the process of deploying Smare Actions across the Kasa ecosystem..." I am starting to wonder how long this has been the case and when we can expect some smarts here.
I like the fact that what is built into to Kasa just works, and seems to work quickly and reliably.
Could you please advise some development goals and targeted dates. Otherwise I might persist and trying to find yet another alternative, or maybe I have to build my own. Strange that the home automation devices like this seem to be developing at a snails pace. I thought it was a hot topic with companies viaing to be the user choice.

Hi,
I'd like to get a triger when the power turn on (or off) of HS105 via IFTTT service.
Do you have a plan that you prepare such service in TFTTT/kasa ?
Thanks,
