Model: HS300  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi, one of much useful feature that is not supported is the ability to power cycle a connected device automatically by pressing a button on the app at anytime.

 

This is extremely useful when power cycling a device which could potentially disrupt internet connection (e.g. modem or router).

 

The closest this can be done currently is creating a schedule to turn the device on and off (after 1 min). But this is cumbersome.

@Weboy 

 

Once the HS300 is configured with the Kasa APP, each outlet can be named and independently controlled. While the ON/OFF button is a simple switch to turn it on or off only. 

 

It cannot power cycle the appliance automatically yet. 

 

Per you said, you can setup a schedule or timer to turn it on/off automatically; and the schedule or timer can work without internet. 

 

May it help.

Or look for an aftermarket app, many can do this.
