HS105 Not Discoverable on Alexa (Local Wi-Fi Control only / remote cloud send cmd failed)
Model : HS105
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 1.5.1
ISP : Spectrum
I have several TP-Link Smart Plugs, switches, and bulbs. These all used to work flawlessly with Alexa for several months. After a recent power failure, none of my devices will work with Alexa control. They all worked in Kasa. Thus far I have done the following (plus I'm sure more resets and delete/add functions than I can remember):
Disconnected the Kasa skill from the Alexa app and re-connected it - no difference.
[*]Manually deleted all the devices from Alexa and attempted rediscovery - no devices found
[*]Manually deleted all devices from the Kasa App and did a soft reset (5 second hold until light blinks blue/orange) and re-add. Works in Kasa, but not discovered in Alexa
[*]Manually deleted all devices in Kasa App and did a factory reset (10 second hold until light blinks rapid orange then blue/orange) then re-add. Works in Kasa, but not discovered in Alexa
[*]All firmware is up-to-date
For the purposes of this discussion I'll focus on just 2 devices - a Smart Plug Mini HS105 and a Smart Plug HS100. The HS105 plug has had a complete factory reset (10 second hold until light blinks rapid orange and then blue/orange) and was re-added to Kasa. It's sitting in "Local Wi-Fi Control Only" mode. Of course this is why Alexa won't discover it. Works fine in Kasa. I can't seem to get it to enable in device settings and when I try, I get "remote cloud send cmd failed".
Now just to make matters confusing, I have a HS100 that I also factory reset and re-added to Kasa and it WORKS! How is this even possible? It is in remote mode and Alexa immediately discovered it and it works perfectly.
To me this eliminates a number of the solutions I've seen thus far such as reset your devices, delete/re-add, change around your network etc. So the question is now what? This just doesn't make sense
