Syncing the smart plug with Kasa app would work, although took a few tries
Turning on and off the Kasa smart plug with the Kasa app worked only when I was connected to WiFi, not cellular only
Turning on and off the Kasa smart plug with Google Home app worked for the first 15-30 minutes after syncing with Kasa, but then the plug “timed out” (?) and was showing as non-responsive on the Google Home app
Going back to the Kasa app and turning on/off the plug allowed control from the Google Home for another 15-30 minutes before becoming unresponsive again
Behavior without AG DNS:
Syncing the smart plug to WiFi with Kasa app worked flawlessly the first time
Turning on and off the plug with the Kasa app worked even when only on cellular
Turning on and off the plug with Google Home app works flawlessly and it does not become unresponsive
I've noticed for a while I haven't had issues with connection response with kasa plugs in the Google home or Amazon Alexa app. Has that been fixed with a update?
