TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug Mini compatibility
Setup:
Behavior with AdGuard DNS:
-
Syncing the smart plug with Kasa app would work, although took a few tries
-
Turning on and off the Kasa smart plug with the Kasa app worked only when I was connected to WiFi, not cellular only
-
Turning on and off the Kasa smart plug with Google Home app worked for the first 15-30 minutes after syncing with Kasa, but then the plug “timed out” (?) and was showing as non-responsive on the Google Home app
-
Going back to the Kasa app and turning on/off the plug allowed control from the Google Home for another 15-30 minutes before becoming unresponsive again
Behavior without AG DNS:
-
Syncing the smart plug to WiFi with Kasa app worked flawlessly the first time
-
Turning on and off the plug with the Kasa app worked even when only on cellular
-
Turning on and off the plug with Google Home app works flawlessly and it does not become unresponsive

I have the same problem
I've noticed for a while I haven't had issues with connection response with kasa plugs in the Google home or Amazon Alexa app. Has that been fixed with a update?
