a week ago
Model: KE110  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 2.10.0

Since my original thread was closed, and TP-link still does not want to fix this..... the heating season is coming, and my KE100 starts to annoy me again. 

They are unable to stabilize and control the temperature gradually. I don't know if there were any changes in that regard in last two updates, but they did not help. 

 

If I set a temperature in my bathroom to 25 it will reach 24.3 and close. WHY?! 

When my bedroom needs radiators to be open to say 20% to maintain temperature, it closes entirely at ~22.0. Then it gets cold and it panics again and opens 100% for 5 minutes just to shut down again. 

 

@Wayne-TP  Can TP-Link finally FIX this?! Or get Chat-GPT to fix it. Or let us fix it by allowing us to run custom firmware. 

 

 

To people involved in my previous thread: @KariBenz @Matteo_T @Inori @Jirinak82  @Karel_S @DJY - did you get any response from the support? Do you also see the issue is not solved? Did you replace the KE100 with another product?

  @Maciej54 The only way this is going to take traction is to start spreading awareness. So here's what im going to do.

Youtube, TikTok, Facebook groups including Home Assistant, Discord, X etc:

"Kasa KE100 disaster- AVOID THIS PURCHASE"

Expect a couple million hits overall and the negative PR might just push TPLink to do something.

 

The implementation is a disaster, a CS uni student can implement better hysteresis in about a week. The API is broken. It's absolutely pathetic

  @Afzal786 true, true.... but they don't seem to care. I made quite some effort describibg all issues in detail, reaching out to support, that have said they reached out to TP-link central and made them aware of the issue blah blah.... 

Whats wierd to me it seems only very few people (compared with the sales numbers) are actually complaining about it. 

Its a pitty, as from hgardware perspective these are quite nice devices, I also like the fact that the T315 temperature sensor is e-ink based. 

But well, they are 4x chaper than e.g. "TADO" devices, so you get what you paid for.
