Hi,

Interestingly, when the strip plugs all cycled off and on at the same time, it was when the PC's are in sleep mode.  This is how I first noticed the issue.  All of a sudden the 2 PC's connected to this one strip powered on (unclean shutdown) at the same time in the middle of the night when no one was using them.  When they are in sleep mode they use ~2W.  These same PC's seem to pul about 100W when running.

This begs the question, is there an upper limit of kW you should avoid lest you experience a random power cycle on all plugs in a strip?  OR are there any scenarios where this is a known issue?  My first calls into support returned a slightly unclear messaging that if your Internet was spotty, possibly this could be causing the power blips, which doesnt seem ok to me.

I would plug them into the other HS300 I have but it is also exhibiting the same issue.  Two PC's hanging off of that buy were found with unclean shutdowns, both at the same time.  

For now I have reset one of the two to factory and seeing if this resurfaces.

@socon I have two of the HS300.  Both are having this same issue with them randomly rebooting.
Hardware version 1.0
Firmware version 1.0.19

In the end, I returned my two as no solution could be found.  I'll give them a try again if it looks like they get these guys stable.

@socon i am also getting random power cycles on the HS300 firmware 1.0.19

I have two of these devices and they both do it. Both are barely using any power so it's not being overloaded.

Looks like a firmware bug. It's probably crashing and then rebooting. tp link emoloyees don't know how to do their job. They discontinued the HS110 which was the only product that actually works and does power monitoring. I bought the HS300 because i couldn't get the HS110. I would return it, but sadly, this is the only product I could find that does power monitoring.

@hdjgjrjs I moved all my important items off the HS300 and onto HS110.  I only have plain lights on the HS300 now.  Bascially the HS300 is hardly being used since it is not reliable.  On my list to call support to see if they can replace of do something about the two HS300 units.

I still see the HS110 on the Tp-Link web site.  Where did you see they were discontinued?

@socon I just had it reset itself again.  I moved everything off these power strips except some rarely used lights.  So, I rarely see it happen.

@socon 

Thanks for sharing your experience! 
 

I have been having the exact same issue. I first reported the problem to Kasa support and got a very generic copy paste response. I have tried to escalate this with Kasa through other avenues.

My HS300 rebooted on Sunday 9/13 at 2:05am EST.

I have already lost a TV due to the power strip rebooted in the middle of TV doing a firmware update. Kasa is honestly not very helpful to recognize that this problem is affecting multiple users.

Please keep this thread open and share additional feedback and hopefully we can make them admit that the issie exists and it needs to be fixed.

I also have two HS300 units that power cycle in a way that seems completely random, usually multiple times a day for each unit. The light turns orange as the power is momentarily cut to all the connected devices, which are all simple low-power lights. I've tested the wall outlets themselves for electrical issues and have yet to find anything out of the ordinary.

Tech support was fairly useless, as the only option they offered was to factory restore, which I've done twice for each unit with the same results.

Hopefully a firmware update, or at least a statement from TP-Link about this widespread issue, is on the horizon.

Hardware version 1.0
Firmware version 1.0.19
