… bit of hybrid. You need cloud to set it up first and if I recall correctly need cloud to add into home assistant. It’s been a couple years since my last Kasa. Once you set up it runs on local polling instead of pushing. It suffers a little lag and unfortunately diminish the benefit of a local device.

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.

In ReReHome

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.
