I fucked with that plugin for a couple hours and found it easier to add them to Alexa, then include them in the Alexa child bridge with my Amazon bulbs. If it makes a difference, my TPL/Kasa devices are plugs (KP303 and KP125) rather than lights.

I have had these Amazon Smart Plugs for some time, dealing with the fact that they only work with Alexa and are closed with no way to create a homebridge plugin. I finally found a way to get these to work in HomeKit. It does require some set up, so keep reading if you're interested.

Homebridge Plugins required: homebridge-alexa homebridge-dummy-contact (v0.3.3 now allows choosing switch or light bulb) Set up: Have homebridge-alexa set up and …

I have Hayward Colorlogic lights on my pool. They unfortunately don’t have a homebridge plugin. They do have Alexa and a google home support. Is there a way to add the lights into Alexa or Google and then use homebridge or another method to pull the devices into homekit? I was able to add the pool pumps on same Hayward controller by adding them to home assistant and then adding home assistant into HomeKit. However the lights don’t work on that plugin. Any ideas on a similar work around?
