KL125's suddenly not responding in Alexa
Hi team,
I installed KL-125 smart bulbs throughout my home.
They have worked fine and integrated well with Alexa for a few weeks, but this morning (1 Nov), they stopped responding to any Alexa commands. No error message other than "There was a problem" is shown in the Alexa app. Voice commands respond with "Device isn't responding" almost instantaneously.
The Kasa app still controls all lightbulbs flawlessly and can turn on and off and change colors as intended.
EDIT: WiFi signal (running on 2.4ghz network) is strong on all bulbs. Alexa can still control my smart switches and every Kasa device that is not the KL-125 without issue.

I'm have the same issue with all of my KL125's. My KL130 bulb, KP303 plug strip, and all of my HS103 plugs work just fine. All devices work using the Kasa app and have the current updated firmware.
Alexa states the devices are not responding. I can confirm this started this morning (11/1/2021).

Glad to hear others are having the exact same issue, coincidentally all on the same day. It would suggest a new code release or update is conflicting with the Kasa firmware.
It's very odd, but given that our other Kasa devices are working fine with the Alexa integration, the issue would be with the KL125 firmware.
For further context, this is the only message I get when trying to access the bulbs in Alexa:

Here is a link to another thread in this forum with other users describing the exact same issue.

I hope Kasa resolves this quickly or I may need to return all of my KL125's and replace them with KL130's that work properly.

@Solla-topee, thanks for the quick response. All of my devices are working properly and I didn't need to do anything. Thanks again!
Oh, by the way, I'm looking forward to add the announced doorbell to my Kasa system.
