HS105 plugs(3) used to work with Alexa, now all say "unresponsive"
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello. I have three HS 105 plugs right now and have never had an issue controlling them with Alexa. Starting a day or so ago, all three plugs fail to be controlled by Alexa, it just says "Sorry somethings wrong..." for all three, says to disable, then re-enable, which I have done many times without success. It lists all three as "Skill is unreponsive" under the device plug section. Even if I delete and re-add no joy, from either the Kasa or Alexa app. The Kasa app has no problem turning them on and off. I did try the steps on the page to enable them on Alexa(which as mentioned has worked for months and months), and my wireless connections are fine, internet up, changing the remote control status in the app rediscovers on Alexa, but no good. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Firmware is the software that runs the light strip. To find the current version you need to open the Kasa App tap on the the device from the list and then tap on the settings cog in the upper right corner of the screen. Then from there you would scroll down to 'About Device' and at the bottom you would see the current firmware version.
Also from the main device screen tap on the 3-bars in the upper left corner to bring up the settings menu for Kasa. Tap on settings, then tap on Firmware update and make sure all of your devices are up to date.
Lastly in your Alexa app, disable the Kasa Skill and then Re-enable it. After you re-enable it you will want to rediscover devices. At that point let me know if yourr Kp303 is now showing as controllable devices or not.

Brilliant! It worded like a charm. I had changed the password but didn't consider that as a variable. I re-entered my credentials from my Desktop an was back in business. Thanks for sharing!!
