Possible Causes

Auto mode enabled with narrow deadband, Incorrect temperature readings, Firmware bug, Conflicting smart home automations

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Disable auto-changeover: In the Kasa app, switch from AUTO mode to manual HEAT or COOL to prevent automatic mode changes.
  • Increase deadband: If auto mode is needed, increase the temperature deadband between heating and cooling setpoints.
  • Check automations: Review Kasa scenes and third-party routines that might be changing modes automatically.
  • Verify sensor accuracy: Ensure the thermostat temperature reading is accurate; incorrect readings can trigger unwanted mode changes.
  • Firmware update / reset: Update firmware and, if needed, perform a factory reset to clear logic errors.
