HS300 Device not connecting to Home Assistant
HS300 Device not connecting to Home Assistant
I've been a loyal Kasa user for years now. I recently picked up another HS300 as I needed to replace a KP303 that I have tied in for Automations with Home Assistant. I seem to be having an issue where I keep getting the following when trying to connect and login to the device. "Unable to authenticate: Device response did not match our challenge on ip 10.1.x.x, check that your e-mail and password (both case-sensitive) are correct." I have confirmed they are 100% correct as I can log into the web portal just fine.
Reading it says I can uninstall and reinstall but I simply cannot accept that as an answer and have to rebuild 10's of my Automations, also I don't want to rely on the cloud access to the devices for my local Automations as I segment my IoT VLAN to not have any internet based access for security. Is there a way to get this working?
I'd really appreciate any assistance.

After a power cycle, the HS300 or home assistant doesn't reconnect to each other... Toggling the 3rd party compatibility does nothing either.
How I got it to reconnect to home assistant, is going to home assistant Settings > Devices & Services > TP-Link Smart Home -> clicking the 3 dots dropdown to the right of 'TP-LINK_Power Strip_BE4C HS300' -> Reconfigure. This Reconfigure popup then shows the existing IP address of the HS300 on your local network. Clicking Submit reconnects it with home assistant ("Reconfiguration was successful").
Go figure.
