I was using the kasa app for the plugs and they have been running on and off for several years.  I set one up a few weeks ago to run some lights and it was keeping schedule perfectly.  

We recently purchased a Tapo led light strip which I have setup successfully and my understanding is kasa has basically turned in to Tapo.  Rather than having 2 apps it made sense to allow the taponapp to control the kasa device.  

I think this is when the trouble started. Now the devices will intermittently disappear from the app. When I turn a device on I often get a java time out error.  I have completely removed the devices from the kasa app and deleted the app.  I have added them directly into the Tapo app and this still keeps on happening. 

My network has not changed (Unifi) they all run on a 2.4G with -36Db signal.  Network logs show no issues. The new light strip connects and stay connected without issue 

Any ideas on what could be going on? Thank you.
