Issue Description/Phenomenon:
Under certain scenarios, users may require to control and manage the Kasa plug or switch locally by leaving it connected to a Wi-Fi network without internet access. However, when the device detects the absence of internet access and fails to connect to the cloud server, it will automatically disconnect and then attempt to reconnect to the Wi-Fi network every 10 minutes. During this process, the LED indicator on these devices will alternate between flashing orange and green.
If you primarily use these smart devices on a local network with limited internet access, this reconnection process may potentially disrupt your regular usage.
Solution:
The production firmware for all models listed above has been released.
If you need to use the above Kasa switch/plug locally, please enable Internet access to your device first, detect the latest firmware through Kasa App and perform the update. How to update firmware of Kasa smart devices.

@RedTiger @Mystacloud did you figure out a solution?
@xiamme and I both wrote threads as Wayne suggested but haven't heard anything back. I messaged Wayne who said Home Assistant wasn't supported which is fine, but doesn't change the fact that my bulbs aren't accessible every 10 minutes.
Here's a screenshot of my uptime for 3 KL125 bulbs. Each of the white lines below is a 50-70 second period of being unavailable. The orange indicates "on" which is for 9.75-10.25 minutes.
The last two lines are a Kasa power strip and a Kasa plug. Their stable which indicates to me that the problem is not my network or choice of home automation software.
Can we get some help please?

@Wayne-TP If your Kasa Smart Switch or Plug disconnects and reconnects to your Wi-Fi network every 10 minutes, it can be both frustrating and disruptive to your smart home functionality. This issue may be caused by a range of factors including poor Wi-Fi signal strength, network interference, outdated firmware, or router configuration settings. To address this, ensure that your router is positioned close enough to the smart device to provide a strong and stable signal. Additionally, check for any potential sources of interference, such as other electronic devices operating on the same frequency (e.g., microwaves or cordless phones). Updating the firmware of both your Kasa device and the router to the latest version may also resolve connectivity problems. If the issue persists, resetting the device to its factory settings and reconfiguring it can sometimes help re-establish a more reliable connectio
