Tapo provides no way to move a selected device from one home to another. I downloaded the new Tapo app and allowed it to integrate all my Kasa devices, and it loaded them all into the same home, even though they were in three different homes in the Kasa app. Now I cannot move devices to their correct homes. A serious flaw in the Tapo 3.0 app, which otherwise seems to be a nice improvement.

 

It's easy to move a device between rooms in a given home, but there's no way I can see to move a device from one home to another. Oops!

Hey @rickross,

If you go to the upper left menu on the Tapo Homescreen > Home Settings > Select Destination Room > Add Devices

 

From here, you should be able to select the devices from either of your homes to add to that room.

  @Riley_S Remarkable! I would never have guessed that procedure, but you are absolutely correct, and it works like a charm!

 

Thank you,. This helps a lot!
