Model: KP125  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3 Build 240624 Red.154806

I have over 50 of these devices all working perfectly with the Kasa App and Apple Homekit (with Siri).  I recently upgraded my router which caused all of the plugs to get new IP addresses.  Everything still works in the Kasa App but everything in Apple world is broken.

 

Is there anyway to resolve this without removing the devices from Kasa App and resetting each device and then reinstalling so that Apple can see the devices again.

 

Doing this on over 50 devices is going to be painful.

 

I have already tried resetting the router and the active home hub devices (Apple TVs).

 

Hoping there is a way to resync the devices on the Apple side so that the new IP addresses are recognized.

 

Any help is appreciated.

It seems that Kasa and third party apps just don't work well together. I have the older HS103's working with the Kasa app and Amazon Alexa. Bought two EP25's, and while they work with Kasa, they don't work with Alexa. In other words, they're not suited for my intended purpose.

I'm guessing you already fixed this. 

 

One thing you may want to do if you have this many devices is to make DHCP reservations on your home router for the kasa devices, and then store the setting in a safe place.  Then in the future if for any reason you need to get a new router you can set the new router up with the same reservations which will give everything the same IP address.   A bit of a pain, but not as much of a pain as having to reconfigure them all!
