Kasa is now useless to me -- how can I get back to an older version of the app
Kasa is now useless to me -- how can I get back to an older version of the app
I bought one of these smart plugs a few years ago to be able to power cycle my cable modem after a power outage where the modem didn't come back properly.
It worked perfectly for years...until today when I needed to use it again and discovered that the Kasa app now wants me to create an account on some server, etc.
Well, guess what --- the internet is down so I can't - and the ability to power cycle my modem from another location ON THE SAME LAN no longer works.
Why was this change made? It makes the device completely useless for my particular need.
Does anybody know where I can buy a similar smart plug that doesn't need an external server connection to control it?

@dhjdhj I just got bit again --- my modem needed to be reset to address an ISP change but my iphone wouldn't let me control the device without logging in WHICH I COULDN"T DO BECAUSE THE INTERNET WAS DOWN
How come you guys (TP-link) do not understand this problem? Why is an account necessary?
Can anyone recommend a smart plug that does NOT require a login to use it --- you know, the way the Kasa USED TO WORK?
