Configuration Guide Making Kasa, Smartthings, and Logitech Harmony work together

TL;DR: I'm trying to control my Kasa stuff through my Logitech Harmony remote via a SmartThings connection, and I'm running into problems.
It's my understanding that the following workflow should be possible:
- Tie my Kasa account to my SmartThings account
- Tie my SmartThings account (in which my Kasa devices are now visible) to my Logitech Harmony Acount
- Control Kasa Devices via my Logitech remote/hub, which will communicate with Kasa devices via the SmartThings connection
I have been successful in performing the steps in the first two bullets. SmartThings can see my Kasa equipment and using the native SmartThings app, I can successfully trigger Kasa devices. Logitech can see my SmartThings account/devices, and all of those things show up in the Logitech app as devices. However, the Kasa devices aren't controllable that way. I can control other devices via Logitech -> SmartThings, for example TVs I have connected to SmartThings, but ALL of the Kasa stuff shows up as "No Connection" (see below example...the very bottom device is a TV, all the other devices are Kasa).
I don't doubt that this problem sits on the Logitech side, and I'm also aware that while they're still supporting it, the Harmony line has ultimately been discontinued. But, has anyone gotten this to work? Are there any workarounds I can try, or, is there an alternative to SmartThings I can connect Kasa to, which is also compatible with Harmony? I wish there were a direct integration between Harmony and Kasa but that doesn't appear to be possible at the moment.
FWIW, all of my devices are running the most recent versions of any applicable software/firmware.
