HS220 switches with newer FW disconnect when access to the internet is blocked
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have about 15 HS210 and HS220 switches. It seems that the switches that are running newer firmware (Firmware: 1.0.10 Build 230427 Rel.165239) will disconnect from WIFI every 10 minutes (exactly) when they do not have access to the internet. The front LED goes red, if flashes green and then it goes solid green. Again, this happens exactly every 10 minutes on the 3 switches using the new FW. If I enable access to the internet, the switches do not disconnect every 10 minutes and remain stable. The other HS220s I have with older FW (1.0.3 Build 210202 Rel.190636) do not have the disconnect problem when access to the internet is blocked. I am using these locally with Home Assistant and cannot give them internet access permanently.
How can I go about downgrading my hardware to the previous version of firmware that functions correctly without internet access?

@Wayne-TP It appears the FW upgrade has corrected the issue I was having. Do you have any idea when this will be added into the next production FW?

@Wayne-TP I've sent you a PM. The HW version of the HS210 is 3.0. It also has the same problem with FW 1.0.9. The HS220s are running FW 1.0.10 (HW V3.0)

@Wayne-TP Can't you just link to the firmware? I need this firmware update. HS200 goes offline every 10 minutes despite having -40rssi .. can't update the device from app due to lack of internet connection. Just provide a link to firmware so we can flash.

Although I'm using the Kasa app and allow the switches access the internet, what would happen if my internet went down? Would the switches still work manually when I physically press them, or would they stop working completely until internet access is restored? For that matter, I also never considered what would happen if my WiFi router went down, so same question regarding Wifi.

@FFWD The switches will work by pressing them no matter what, that part has nothing to do with the Internet, WiFi, etc. If your Internet or WIFI is down, you will not be able to control the switches from the Kasa app and none of your schedules set in the app will work.
