@LINKOLN,

This behavior is most likely caused by the switch in your network, but I had thought that the behavior was fixed in the latest firmware updates for the X55. Make sure that all your nodes are using the most recent firmware available to them.

Also, Are all the devices in one area? Meaning the behavior may be limited to wireless devices connecting through a particular node?

  @LINKOLN,

I believe that when Kasa devices are configured as Smart Devices in the Deco app, you will see this exact behavior - as the deco app will take control of the network settings for these devices automatically and will only be in the Smart Device section.

The Smart Device section of the deco app is likely slightly different than what you are thinking it is. Its original purpose is to allow you to set up and control your Kasa devices directly from the Deco App - it is a completely separate feature and does more than just classify devices. For what you are looking for, you may want to look more toward the IoT network. However, the feature currently depends on whether your deco model has received the latest 1.6/1.7 firmware update.

For the switch, i think it was a result of the switch and your Deco communicating. Not that it is a problem with the switch, but the handshake between the main Deco and the switch. What you did by bringing your network down as you did was allow the network to rebuild its backhauls with a new batch of settings - replacing whatever setting was interfering.
