Tech Tip: How to Set a Schedule for Multiple Kasa Devices at Once

As you know, you can do a lot to automate your home with your Kasa Smart products.  You can use your Kasa products to create schedules, timers and set up away modes, but this can sometimes be tedious, as you must set each one individually.  While there is the grouping feature that lets you turn on or off multiple products at once, this does not help in creating a unified schedule.  Wouldn’t it be great if there was a feature that accomplished this – to set a schedule for multiple products at once?  Well, the good news is there is a way to do just that.  It involves using two of the other features within Kasa, Scenes and Smart Actions.

 

What you will first need to do is create a Scene and then you can use the Smart Action “Schedule a Scene” to create a repeating schedule for that scene. But how do we do this?  Well let’s begin.

 

Open the Kasa App and tap on Scenes

 

Tap on the ‘+’ symbol

 

Tap on a Preset or tap on Custom

 

 

Tap on the devices you want to add to the scene

 

 

Confirm the State you want to set or Change it by tapping here *You will need to repeat for each device if making changes.

 

 

Choose the Status you want to use.  *For color bulbs this pulls from your presets

 

 

Choose an Icon then tap Next

 

 

Give the scene a Name then tap Save

 

 

Tap on Done to complete the setup

 

 

Now you’re ready to set the Smart Action

 

Tap on Smart Actions

 

 

Tap on Add an Action

 

 

Tap on Schedule a Scene

 

Tap on Select a Scene

 

Choose the Scene you want to use, then tap on Save

 

Tap on Select a Time to set the time and occurrence

Set a Time and Occurrence then tap Save

 

Tap on Complete

 

Give the smart action a Name then tap Done

 

Congratulations, you are done! Tap OK to end the setup
