Model: KP400  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.10

I have several of the Smart Home WiFi Outlet's (HS105) that allow me to set a schedule event tied to sunrise or sunset.  I can also set the event to a number of minutes before or after sunrise/sunset.  This is a very nice feature, and resulted in the purchase of several Outdoor Smart Plug's (KP400).

 

The Outdoor Smart Plug's don't appear to allow you to set an offset from sunrise/sunset, or at least I can't figure it out.  Their schedule event page looks different from that of the HS105's.

 

How do I set an offset with the outdoor plugs?

 

This is the schedule screen of the HS105, allowing an offset:

 

This is the schedule screen of the KP400, which does not appear to offer an offset:

There are plans to release firmware for the KP400 to have the offset feature like the HS105. 

 

When the firmware is available you will see it by going to your Kasa settings then firmware upgrade.

@Tony, do you have an ETA on this?  It's a pretty important feature that I thought existed based on my testing of the other indoor plug.  If it's going to be a while, I may return these and go a diffrent direction.

Unfortunately, there is no ETA.

@Tony Any update on this yet? This is a massive feature that's missing for outdoor lights!
