Smart plug/ power strips can’t do power cycle mode.

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.

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.
