Exactly the same thing happened to me today. And by "disconnects" I mean turns itself completely off, even while still plugged in. No network or status lights at all, and can't ping over the network. The Kasa app shows nothing where it normally shows the on/off status. Removing the SmartPlug and reinserting it into an outlet appears to reboot it. Will see if this repeats.

Sounds like a faulty one to me, probably a component is overheating then turning the phone off, would get a warranty claim off to TP-Link or return it for a replacement if I were you.....

Anthony: I had a HS100 that went off-line randomly. I wound up swapping it for another smartplug in a different location. The replacement plug also went off-line. I then swapped it with another plug about a foot away, which had worked flawlessly. The replacement plug, in a new position, continued to go off-line. I renamed it and it has worked perfectly ever since. The only common factor was the name I gave the plug. The only guess I have is that something on my network was remembering the name/MAC address combination. I would have bet on a flakey HS100, but they have all worked fine ever since. njp, your problem does sound like faulty hardware.

I think we would need to combine with a CZt day as there was only a handful of us at s2smarts.I'd be up for a dyno run thoughJJ ___ NEW XRumer 12.0.19: [i]revolutional method in SEO and SMM[/i]

I'm having the same issue with my HS110 smart plug. Have a heater/fireplace plugged in, wondering if it's too powerful for this smart plug.

After some hesitation, I've been using my TP-Link Smartplugs to control 1300W 120VAC heaters with no apparent problem.
