Model: EP10   EP25P4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.3

I have a bunch of EP10 Smart Plugs around the house and really like the feature where I can take a picture of what I'm controlling and use that as the Icon in the Kasa app.  It makes it very convenient to quickly find and control that device.  Well I also wanted Power Monitoring so I bought an EP25P4 (I was using a Sonoff Smart Switch using their App eWeLink).  Well it turns out the ability to use a picture (Album) for my Icon is not available for the EP25P4.  The Sonoff didn't have the Picture option either so I probably won't put that back in as my goal is to have all my devices controlled/monitored by the same app.

 

Is there another Kasa Smart Plug I can buy that has both energy monitoring as well as allowing Pictures to be made into an Icon?  Or is there a way to make the EP25P4 capable.

 

Since my issue is with the EP25P4, the HW and FW versions up top are for those.  Here are the versions for everything involved. 

 

Kasa App:

Version: 3.3.900

 

EP10:

HW: 1.0, FW: 1.0.5

 

EP25P4:

HW: 2.6, FW: 1.0.3 Build 240529 Rel. 145252

 

BTW:   One more feedback item.  I also bought Kasa's KP125MP4 (when I bought the EP25P4) but ended up up not using it because I could not get the installation process to work (get the Kasa app to recognize the device or get it onto my network) but the EP25P4 installation went smoothly. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

EP25 V2.6 or KP125M does not support customized device icon. The models with upgraded energy monitoring do not support this feature. 

 

The models that support the basic energy monitoring feature (see below) like HS110, KP115 support customized device icons with pictures from album. Frequently Asked Question About Energy Monitoring

Ok thanks.  Looks like it's back to Amazon.  Eventually I'll get all my devices into the Kasa app the way I like them with custom icons.

Is there a matrix with all the Smart Plugs on one side then all the features on the other side so I can tell which ones do what?

The KP115's arrived today and I just installed one.  Installation was issue free and fast.  Now I can see the power consumption (albeit the simplest display) and recognize this so much more easily as I have a picture of it as my icon (as of now I have 12 smart switches all over my home and garage and attic).  This one goes on my Towel Warmer.  I'd like to know how much I'm paying for hot towels.
