Why Won't My Kasa Camera Record Motion Events?

Device: Kasa Spot Camera (KC100, KC105, KC120, KC200, KC400, EC60)

Your Kasa camera shows live video but does not record motion events or send notifications. You can open the app and see what is happening right now, but when you check activity history there are no recordings. Motion happens in front of the camera but no clips appear and no push notifications arrive. You expected the camera to capture everything and now you realize you have no footage of important events. This defeats the purpose of having a security camera. The issue is usually motion detection settings, notification permissions, or storage configuration.

Why Is My Kasa Smart Dimmer Causing Lights to Flicker?

Device: Kasa Smart Dimmer (HS220, KS220, KS230)

After installing a Kasa smart dimmer your lights flicker, buzz, or flash randomly. The flickering might happen at certain brightness levels, when you turn the lights on or off, or completely at random while lights are on. Sometimes the lights work fine for a while then start flickering. You might also hear a buzzing or humming sound from the switch or the light fixtures. This is maddening because you spent money on smart switches expecting better control and now your lights look like a haunted house. The cause is almost always LED bulb compatibility or the dimmer needing calibration.

Why Does My Kasa Smart Plug Keep Disconnecting From WiFi?

Device: Kasa Smart Plug (EP10, EP25, HS103, HS105, KP115, KP125)

Your Kasa smart plug randomly disconnects from WiFi and shows offline in the Kasa app. It might work fine for hours or days then suddenly go offline. You notice because a scheduled automation does not run, or you try to turn something on from your phone and it fails. Sometimes it reconnects on its own, other times you have to unplug it and plug it back in. This is incredibly frustrating because the whole point of a smart plug is reliability. The disconnections are usually caused by WiFi interference, router settings, or the plug losing its IP address.
