Kasa app for windows
Hello,
I have a smart buld (LB100) connected and managed through my mobile phone using wifi or mobile data.
I would like to know if there is any windows or mac app for managing the smart bulb and/or other "smart" programs of tp-link that are compatible with kasa mobile app.
Thanks for your time

Hi,
sorry to tell you that the smart bulb can be controlled by kasa app only, besides, it can work with Alexa and Google.
While for Kasa app, it is available for mobile device only.
Good day.

A bit complicated, might be easier just to buy a low end or repurpose an old android device as a home automation as a control panel. Would use a lot less power, can be left on and handy. Setting up communication through bluestacks can be a little tricky, it needs to be routed properly through to the emulator. If one goes the dedicated tablet route AutomationManager can be used for more complex automation and integration with other apps.

@GreenCloudIE That BlueStacks works perfect with kasa, and it is not complicated unless you're like my wife and just refuses ot learn anything new. Great idea, thanks. ...Bob

Another vote for a PC based App.
I work from home and, in summer, I like to run the air conditioning but need to leave a door open for our dog. He's not much of a guard dog, he'd prbably sleep through someone coming in and going out.
There are starting to be an alarming number of "snatch and grab robberies in my neighbourhood, so we went out and bought a Kasa camera to with our switches.
I would like to have a window open on my second monitor for my PC to view the camera feed, to keep an eye out. And we'll probably expand ourt network of cameras, then to keep an eye on other parts of the house, too.

URL doesn't seem to work. I want to throw my vote in here it would be nice to have a desktop app. There are a lot of reasons why too many dimension. But bottom line is mobile only limits quite a bit.

Hello @shadrico , I'm afaid desktop app is not in the pipeline for Kasa devices.
But some forum users shared a workaround to view camera on the Android emulator, this also applicable to Kasa app and you could give it a try:

Hi
Thank you so much for the suggestion.
Working from my pc, I always prefer windows app.
The solution you suggested with Bluestack work perfectly. it as a cinch to install!
I wonder why TPlink don't make applications for PC ? Laziness I suppose.
I am sure we are not the only one wanting to work our lamps and applicance from our desktop, especially when you have a lot of plugs, control and amps as we do.
You made my day
:)
