KS205 - No “Display as” in Apple Homekit, Why?
![](/avatar/avatar-4.png)
Just like the Kasa outlet plugs, I would really LOVE the firmware to be updated on the KS205 to support “Display As” in HomeKit. Not everyone is using this switch as a light. It could be controlling a ceiling fan, or an outlet, a bathroom ventilation fan, or any other 120v wired device, etc.
Why doesn't Kasa update the firmware to support this? Their outlet plugs do, I don't get it.

@InferredMagic - More info received, but not very promising unfortuantly. I've provided further info to to their engineering team: referencing calls I've had directly with Apple, referring them to their other matter products that do support this / where it does work, encouraged them to contact their engineering partner at Apple, as well as encouraged thenm to perform some in house testing on Apple devices (considering 57% of the US uses Apple). More to come but I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions?
