Kasa KS220M unable to authenticate

Not sure if this was the right category to post this in. please move it if it isn’t. Kasa KS220M smart motion switch gives this error when prompted to authenticate: Unable to authenticate: Device response did not match our challenge on ip . I see posts about this error on Kasa Cameras but nothing with this switch. this is the only Tapa device i am having issues with. I’ve done all the usual things I’ve seen. enabled third party compatibility, changed password logged out and logged back in also clear the cache of the app but to know avail. is this a API issue or something else I haven’t discovered yet? the hardware version is 1.0 and the firmware version is 1.1.6 home assistant core is 2026.2.3
