Making IFTTT trigger for smart switches
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Would love to see a trigger on IFTTT or some sort of native functionality in the Kasa app that would allow me to activate a smart plug when I manually press a smart switch. I'm looking to activate lights on both sides of my bed with a single button press since the regular plugs aren't wired together, or perhaps press a switch to occasionally activate a scene once I walk through the door. Has anyone had any luck setting up something like this? If not, is there any chance Kasa might have something like this in the works?

Hi @Carl
I have 2.15.0 build 697 should I have Smart Actions?
Mine says stay tuned for more updates.
I do not have any switches, just lights and plugs.

We do not have any updates to this request. However we have added "Smart Actions" in the Kasa App to help with some of the most commonly requested features suchs as an auto-off timmer. check those out.

I just applied the update to a test Android phone and the build should be 875. I would recommend checking for an update or removing the app and re-installing. Once yours says 875 as the build you should be able to use the feature.

I have the iPhone 6 and it is running the latest ver 2.15.0. build 697
Could it be that I do not have switches so the App does not show it?

I found out why some people have it and not everyone.
This FAQ says it is being rolled out in stages.
Q: Why it says “coming soon” in the Smart Actions tab?
A: Smart Actions is rolling out stage-by-stage to Kasa users.

@Tony adding a trigger for Kasa lights should have been in the initial release.... how is this not a feature yet.

With IFTTT you are not able to select TP-Link Kasa as a trigger service, only as the action part. So when you create a new applet, you can configure: If this (trigger service) then that (action service). The trigger could be setting a date or when you are at a geographical location or you can tie in other services or apps.
Thank you for the suggestion though, we always forward suggestions we receive to our developers to help make a our products better for the customer experience.
