I purchased two brand new HS200 switches for my home.  Since I had such an easy time installing and setting up these switches before, I thought I'd add more.  So I installed them per the instructions.  The switch lights up as it's supposed to and I can shut on/turn off the attached light fixture.

However, when I try to set the switches up in Kasa, total failure.  In the past, I would add the device as instructed, my Android phone would switch to its wifi briefly, and then after it sends over the wifi network info, the switch would reset, my phone would return to my wifi, and I could name the switch and be done with it.  NOW, for the past 2 days, the phone gets stuck on the "Connecting to device" screen.  It finds the device and connects to its wifi, but that's as far as it gets.  It never switches back to my wifi and the switch never reboots.

This is on BOTH HS200's that I purchased.  As a test, I also reset another HS200 that I have installed, which I installed about a year ago.  I reset it and then went to install it in Kasa.  Same outcome; it finds the switch, gets to the Connecting to device screen...and that's it.  By the way, if I wait for several minutes, Kasa times out and says that it's unable to connect to the device.

Reading through the forums here, it seems that others have been having a similar issue over the past couple off weeks.  In my case, I think it's since the last App update.

TpLink, PLEASE look into this!!  There is something wrong with your app, and particularly the last update you sent out.  Surely you're not going to tell me that I have two bad switches -- both brand new -- and a switch that's a year old and never had issues connecting is also now bad.
