Kasa KE100 Early Start does not work
Hi,
I am struggling with Early Start option on my Kasa KE100 kit.
No matter what I try it just does not work as it should. It starts heating exactly when the rule says so, never before to reach the temperature at the designated time as it should.
Also, it never really reaches the designated temperatures, what was achievable when using a regular thermostatc head.
Please help!
Attaching screenshots from my app.

I have the same problem, my Early Start doesn't work either.
Amy ideas? @valdek44g

Check the following suggestions.
1. Modify the schedule to non-consecutive rules, leave a gap between two schedule entries where no settings are applied. Monitor whether the early start works in this case.
2. Recalibrate the KE100. Go to KE100 Device Settings page > choose Calibration.
3. Fully open the KE100, wait for a while then fully close it, and monitor how the temperature changes. Please share a screenshot of the report chart after this operation. Go to KE100 Device Settings page > Summer Mode > Enable Summer Mode, select Fully Closed or Fully Open.
@valdek44g Regarding the issue of the temperature not reaching the set value, are you referring to the temperature adjusted through early start? Would there be any issues if the temperature is adjusted manually within the Kasa app?
When you mentioned using the thermostat head can adjust the temperature correctly, does this refer to physically switching the KE100, or is it referring to thermostat heads from other brands (non-smart)?

Thanks for your comment!
1) How long gap do you recommend? 20min?
2) Done, several times. Just did this again!
3) Roger that, just set the device as you suggested, will monitor the temperature and add a screenshot later.
4) Yes, I meant the old, regular manual thermostatic head. I never used it set on more than 3 out of 6, as anything more was way too hot for me. Now, even if I set Kasa head to max 30°, it barely reaches 23°, I feel like it is not opening fully.
But I am not blaming the app nor the device here (yet :D), as my main concern is about the early start feature. Will check how my room will heat with valve fully open as per 3rd point.
Thanks again for your input!
