Hello - I've been researching wifi enabled plugs to use at a recreational property. The power often goes out at this location and so I'm wondering what happens to the wifi-controlled outlet of the KP200 model when the power comes back on. If the outlet is turned off when the power goes out, does it stay off when the power comes back on? Is the outlet able to re-establish its connection to the wifi router when the power comes back on?

Thanks for your help with these questions!

@yvr2yyz there's a separate channel / forum for Kasa Smart Plugs where you post may have more interest.   My experience with both Kasa switches and the KP200 in wall power outlet is that they are designed to attempt to reconnect to the WIFI you assigned to the specific devices.   I've noticed the KP200 also return to their previous states after turning off  / on respective breakers - example if one or both of the outlets states were on or off.

That said even where devices are designed to reconnect to wifi upon power recovery, nothing is perfect and there's always occasions where devices might not reconnect and require manual intervention, reboots, etc.  This is the case with many electronics.  You could double your chances by using a Kasa smart power bar connected to a KP200... whatever you want to manage remotely plugged into the power bar.. so you have double the chances to remotely reset either the KP200 or the Kasa power bar remotely to reconnect to wifi if it had failed to.

  @yvr2yyz Hello, Sir. The state before power on will be maintained after power on again. For example, the plug is closed before power failure, and the plug is also closed after power failure. WiFi will automatically reconnect after power on again.
