Current Behavior

All TPlink devices show now responding when checking the Apple Home App and the iPhone is not on the same network such as when on cellular or other WAN network.

Turn off wifi on mobile device (EX: iPhone) Open Apple Home App TPLink devices show offline and not responding to commands. Note other home bridge plugin still working and responding with their accessories (EX: Wemo)

It seams uninstalling and reinstalling the plug in fixed it this time. It's the 3rd time this year I've had to do it with only this plugin.

I still have this problem! Uninstalled the plugin, installed it again and still have the issue ongoing. Once I’m off the wifi on my phone, the light switches don’t respond to HomeKit. Wondering - is someone looking at this issue?

One thing that helped me greatly with this plug-in was setting it up as a "child bridge" https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Child-Bridges

This is a homebridge and/or Apple Homekit hub issue. The plugin doesn't have to do with remote access.
