As the subject suggests, all Kasa devices are unresponsive on Alexa after I linked Tapo to Kasa app. All Tapo only devices work correctly. 
I cannot unlink Kasa or relink to Alexa. Nightmare. Help!

this worked. The steps I took were:

- delete Tapo app;

- enable Kasa skill on Alexa app;

- reinstall Tapo app; and

- enable Tapo skill on Alexa app.

  @CuriousF Alexa says server is not responsive but some Kasa only devices work only for on and off function but not intensity for example no brightness or temperature adjustment. 
 

I've tried removing a device on Kasa and re-adding as well as removing and re-adding on Alexa app only. Neither worked.

BA  @CuriousF also tried logging out and logging in on both Kasa and Tapo. Neither worked.

  @CuriousF I can neither link or unlink. It's bizarre.
