TP-Link KL125 changing to unknown and unnamed unless powered on once

The problem

I'm currently and sadly using regular light switches my TP-Link KL125 aren't showing properly in home assistant unless powered on that day. This changes the device to unknown and unnamed unless powered on once during that day. As

Can be seen in the screenshot

Device is named but since powered off is unable to show consumption. The device is still in use but powered down since the standard light switch is powered off.

I'm not completely clear on the issue here as the logs seem to show all the devices successfully connecting. Was this working differently in a previous release? Are you restarting HA daily?

I think the device is reporting none when it hasn't been on for the day, iirc, there was a special handling for this but we forgot to add that?

A similar thing has happened to both my TPLink Kasa KP125M.

Data cut off at 7/7.

[adarrous]

The device names are only showing their names when they have consumed power that day. As far as I have had these in they've never properly displayed their names if powered off for the day.

Scenario A: Light turned on that day the name of the device will be populated into home assistant.

Scenario B: Light not turned on that day. Today's consumption is displayed instead of the actual device name.

Let me know if anymore clarification is needed.

@adamzvolanek this is a different issue to the OP. These devices used to incorrectly report total consumption when they don't actually provide it, hence this particular sensor is no longer provided by the integration.

@adarrous I'm still not clear on the issue. Are you saying it has always been like this and you would like it to be changed?
