Glad Kasa is at least going.

 

With Alexa, I would first disable the TP-Link skill and enable it again. Make sure the account you are authorizing is the same TP-Link ID account you are signed into Kasa as. Another thing to possibly check is that you are using your main Amazon account, rather then a household account.

@Tony Woohoo! Finally! I disabled tplink in the Alexa app 3 times and Alexa still couldn't control the bulb. And then, I guess I stumbled on the "official" disconnect that I had to sign into at Kasa. Then I re-connected. And voila! Why do they make it so complicated? Anyway, thanks again for your help. KUDOS!

Turn off the bulb using the light switch off and on three times. That will rest the Wi-Fi configuration, then use the Kasa app to add the bulb back and set it up with the new network. If that does not work do a full reset by turning off the light switch off and on five times, and do the same process.

@Tony I followed your instructions, several times and finally it connected with the app! Thanks!

Now Alexa sees it but says the bulb is unresponsive. I'm getting frustrated.

But at least I can turn it off and on from my iPad. Just not as convenient as telling Alexa to do it.

Again, thank you.

Coookee

When you mention official disconnect, do you happen to have the menu where that was?

@Tony All I can tell you is I kept disabling and enabling the bulb in the Alexa app via the 'enable' button and that didn't work. The last time, the Kasa disable/enable popped up and I had to put in my password. I'm sorry, but that's all I can tell you. I'm not very tech smart, that's why I needed you. I guess God looked down on me and shook his head. I try to do everything myself before asking for help.

Blessings on the rest of your life!
