1 day ago @svandive Ok, yea I went back and read and you said 12 devices but 8 and 3 is only 11 so I was thinking that one was missing.
The three lights will not be added at this time, but I am working on this functionality. So for now, you can remove those three from the manual devices if you wish.
As for the other devices, I am curious as to why the default discovery is only finding 7 devices and not all 11 if they're on the same network. Do you have any IP conflicts? I don't think any of them require credentials. Can you run a kasa discovery from the CLI and tell me if that output gives you all of the devices?

Good Day,
**Well I think it's pretty clear now that the reason this isn't working is because the Plugin is not setup for Light Strips and Bulbs, yet. However I thought it might be helpful if I provided the output you requested in the other thread.
I am noticing a similar issue to ZeliardM but I believe on a much smaller scale. I have 12 devices but three are not showing up during discovery (see list below).
I can use the 'kasa python' app located at /homebridge/kasa-python/.venv/bin/kasa to run a discovery and I get a slightly different result in terms of what is auto-discovered. However, I can use the --host flag and discover/talk to all 12 of the devices on my network.
My issue might simply just be related to the Homebridge Plugin implementation not supporting Strip Lights (two of the missing items are KL420L5 strip lights). The other missing device is a KL125 Lightbulb.
HomeBridge Kasa Python Plugin Discovered Devices: 4 x EP25 2 x HS200 1 x HS300 1 x KP125
Devices not Discovered by HomeBridge Kasa Python Plugin: 2 x KL420L5 1 x KL125
I have added the three missing devices manually via IP address to the Plugin Config. However they remain undiscovered. I have also updated my broadcast to be broadcast domain specific (e.g. 192.168.0.255)
Thank You So Much for building and supporting such a fantastically helpful Plugin...
