Unable to firmware update KL130 bulbs.
Saturday
Model: KL130  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0

Hi
I just bought 2 more KL130 Kasa Bulbs and these are HW v2.0 UN version. I already have a couple of the HW v1.0 EU version and I have been really pleased with these.

But I can't get the new bulbs to work. I can click through the pairing guide do all the steps and it gets added to the app and I can see it light up. After that it just starts to time out. Im unable to toggle them on or off. They work just fine in Home Assistant, but in the Kasa app they still dont work.

Im unable to update the firmware for them aswell. I've tried to reset them and they get detected straight away and there's no problem going through the guide and add them to my account. But as soon as the guide is finished and they get added I get a java socket timeout error and they stop working.

Is there some way of manually firmware flash the bulb? Anyone have any clues? Im using Android.

What error did you receive when updating the firmware? Which firmware are you trying to update, and what's the current firmware of the smart bulbs?

 

  • Try to power cycle both router and the smart device. 
  • Check Network Connection: Move the device closer to the router for a better connection. See this FAQ for optimization tips.
  • Use Mobile Hotspot: If needed, connect the device to your phone's hotspot and try the upgrade again.
