HS210 induced or phantom voltage sending "off" feedback to Kasa

I have a five way switch arrangement using one HS210 (replacing a mechanical 3way) and the rest are 4way and 3way mechanical switches. Wiring is correct and everything functions fine physically but if both traveler wires are landed on the HS210, the app cannot understand proper feedback nor quickly toggle on/off. Instead if I press the app button initially to turn lights on, it responds but will not function again for several seconds and if waiting that time period the indicator in the app always goes off even if the lights are on. Basically it doesn't know what to do because the cold traveler wire has a small amount of voltage (tested with Fluke787) of (0.7vac). If I lift the cold traveler wire everything works perfectly with the app but I cannot turn the lights on from anywhere else in the house.
I am operating (x8) non dimmable 10w outside LED flood lights that are the equivalent of 90w bulbs each so essentially turning on an 80w load. is there a recommended resistor I can add to eliminate the small amount of induced voltage to restore complete functionality? If so what resistance and how should it be wired?
