It would be best to narrow down what is working. For example, bring up Kasa, are you able to control the bulbs? Are you able to control the bulbs when you are not on Wi-Fi (cell data). 

 

When you link Kasa to Alexa, does it discover your smart devices?

So I can control the lights using the kasa app for a minute then it says that they are not there go through all the steps to reinstall the lights they work . I have deleted the skill from Alexa reinstalled it found the bulbs it says they work and can be controlled by Alexa tell Alexa to turn them off she says they cannot be controlled by this device. Woke up this morning turn them on by my phone only one of them came back on the other one shows that's not there

If the bulbs are disappearing from the app, and not responding, I would check the signal strength as that might not be strong enough.

 

Tap on one of the bulbs, go to the settings on the top right, go to device info, tap on the network name, it should change to dBm. What do you have?

Cant do that when they wont stay hooked up. I know lastnight when I checked on said -34 the other 44 but then they both disappeared again. So once again flipped the switch 5 times and reset them also tried only flipping the switch 3 times

So from Alexa what I'm getting is dining room lights will not support that when I tell her to shut the dining room lights off. I am taken all 3 back to factory and updated them they work on the app but not Alexa
