Is there an existing issue for this?

What happened?

I have 3 HS220 dimmers working fine with Homebridge but I bought a new HS220 dimmer which can not be discovered in homebridge. The working HS220 HW version is 3.0 and the new one that isn’t working HW version is 3.26.

i have done everything to reset including reinstalling the plugin, hard reset homebridge, etc. I have also tried using older version 7.x and that didn’t help.

What, if anything, has recently changed?

Adding a new HS220 that has a different HW version

Version

8.0.3

Node Version

20.9.0

Homebridge Version

Sharing that I am having the same issue with a newly added HS220, hardware version 3.26. Tired manually discovery with static IP address in configuration as well as broadcast config, etc. No luck. Cleared all cached accessories, uninstalled plugin and reinstalled. Finds the older HS210s fine, but not the new HS220 hw version 3.26.

https://community.hubitat.com/t/kasa-dimmer-switch-wifi/136962/4 looks like people use some tapo plugin with specific settings in the kasa app for Hubitat. They are saying new hardware uses different API
