| TP-Link Smart Home | Works Local | Local polling, no cloud, solid for years; disable polling on problem devices (multiple users)Saved copyI've been using kasa for 5 years, local polling and no cloud. I think you're drawing a conclusion of all kasa products based on your bad experience with one. It's also #38 in the list of most used integrations so I'm very clearly not alone on this. Sounds like you just had bad hardware which can happen. The issue with motion not being exposed as an entity could have just been researched in advance: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/sm952f/comment/i1pwdn1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-01 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
