I recently purchased a 3 pack of Kasa KS205 Matter smart switches. When I go to install them they pair easily and perfectly with the Kasa app. Its when I go to add them to HomeKit is where the problem is. It goes through the process of adding and HomeKit sees the device but everytime it treid to add to my smarthome it says "Unable to Add Accessory" pairing with accessory failed. I have had zero issues adding Ecobee, Aqara, Hue, Lutron, Meross or even my Hubitat ecosystem to HomeKit. Its only the Kasa Matter devices. I will also add I have completely rebuilt my Home, all updates and upgrateds are done in Home, iOS and on my HomePod. Latest firware also on the KS205. I have tried installing 4 seperate Kasa KS205 switches with zero success. I did have success with 1 Kasa KS205 Matter switch prior to the iOS17 update but now nothing works or will add since the upgrade to iOS 17. I have talked exstensively with Kasa support and Apple Support and have spent about a week on this issue. I have reset my network, reset my network settings on my phone, removed all hubs, routers, mesh basestations, VPN, anything and everything and Kasa still wont work. I have been able to add Lutron and other smart devices without issue so I know its not my network or my Home app. The problem seems to lie with Kasa. Wondering if anyone else has had similar issues or knows of a solution. Also thinking maybe Kasa needs to release a firmware update for iOS 17. I should also add I got replacement switches and tried to add those with zero success.
