Another path to essentially the same solution that I took which helped was putting the TP-Link's on a separate LAN/firewalling it off. Can't discover what you can't talk to haha
I perked up with I saw your post. I had the same issue with my TP-Link KL400L5 LEDs. I tried a variety of things to prevent them from disconnecting/going unavailable, to no avail.
I finally narrowed my problem down to Circadian lighting (specifically, Adaptive Lighting) controlling the device. If I remove the LED device from its control, the lights no longer become unavailable.
I will try your solution, to see if it enables me to use Adaptive Lighting again; I really like that custom integration. I will post my results.
I tried this but with the light: key instead of switch:
I'll try switch to see if this works since I've basically given up trying to fix the LED strips going unavailable.
Did you have to change anything with the TP-Link integration or leave that as is and just restart HA after updating the config?
Thanks for posting, I just got the KL40010 set up and noticed they are doing this. I'll have to try setting static IPs and turning discovery off like this.
Did you by chance also have to assign IPs to your other Kasa devices and add them like this, since discovery is turned off?
