I recently enabled Kasa lights in my office within Home Assistant. They’ve been running without issues for a year or so. Within a few hours of enabling in HA, they started turning off and then back on again (showing “became unavailable” in HA logs). In HA it looks like they are going offline but no one turned them off (and no activity in the app or manually turning the devices off with a switch). They’ve been doing this for 3 weeks or so. No other devices are having issues, just the Kasa smart bulbs. Has anyone seen a similar issue or know of anything to troubleshoot this?
I don’t use smart bulbs as they don’t really work right if you have a manual switch inline. I do use a bunch of the Kasa light switches and I have never seen this type of issue with them. Maybe migrating from smart bulbs to smart switches would help. If you decide to go the switch route I would recommend either kasa switches and shelly switches with HA. The shelly switches are nice because you just wire them in behind your existing switches. Shelly also has a switch that works with their is no neutral wire at your switch box.
