@kmacdowell You're probably talking about Bl**St***s. That's what I use to run Kasa on my computer. My issue with it is the amount of time it takes the emulator to start running to the point that you can bring up the Kasa app. I have a very fast laptop, quadcore i7 with 16gb memory and s.2 drive, and it still takes 8 seconds to load and another 3 seconds to start Kasa. It would be painfully slow on a low end laptop.
I agree that tp-link has the resources to develop a desktop app but the fact is that users have been directing complaints to them for at least 4 years and they still haven't come up with an app. But it's all about money. If people keep buying their product then why spend money developing an app?
