How to Add TP-Link Kasa Smart Devices to Apple HomeKit

I have found the best methods to add TP-Link Kasa Smart Devices to Apple HomeKit. There are easy ways to show your TP-Link Kasa devices on your Apple Home App that don't require any technical knowledge.

So, if you were wondering whether you can integrate your TP-Link Kasa HomeKit, look no further because I have listed out and explained the best solution for you to control Kasa Smart Devices with the Apple Home App.

Does TP-Link Kasa Work with Apple HomeKit?

Yes, some TP-Link Kasa devices work directly with Apple Home through HomeKit or Matter. However, support depends on the model. If your Kasa device does not have built-in Apple Home support, you can use a bridge method to connect it.

The table below shows the Kasa models currently listed by TP-Link as compatible with Apple Home without using a separate bridge.

Note: This list is based on TP-Link's US setup information and Apple's Home accessories list, checked in September 2026. Always check the packaging or setup code for your exact model.

Have an older Kasa device? Many older HS and KP plugs, along with LB and KL bulbs and light strips, may need one of the bridge options below to work with Apple Home.

AddtoHomeKit: Best Recommended Solution

Kasa AddtoHomeKit is probably the best and easiest solution you can use because you have very minimal steps to follow when adding devices to HomeKit through AddtoHomeKit.

AddtoHomeKit is a software, and why do I say it is easy? Well, you just need to select a few things and click install, and now you have access to TP-Link Kasa through your Apple Home App! BLOWN AWAY! It is less time-consuming, low on effort, and perfect for you, especially if you have a busy lifestyle.

Alternative Methods to Add TP-Link Kasa Devices to HomeKit

ATH Bridge – Recommended Device Solution

If you are specifically looking for a device solution, I would suggest you get ATH Bridge. ATH Bridge is an affordable and simple device solution to add your TP-Link Kasa smart devices to Apple HomeKit. This is a specially assembled and pre-flashed HomeBridge server. The only thing you need to do is download the plugins and configure them and boom its done.

If you're planning on bringing your non-HomeKit devices into Apple HomeKit, the ATH HomeKit Bridge Hub would be the best solution.

HomeBridge Solution

HomeBridge is a third-party software application. It is a lightweight NodeJS server that allows you to integrate with your home automation system. It offers Apple Home integration for your smart home devices that don't directly support Apple Home Kit to TP-Link Kasa devices. You can use it as a cost-effective solution.

If you're a tech-savvy person, this is the best solution for you. This software acts as a Bridge between non-HomeKit devices and HomeKit. I would say this is, along with HOOBS, one of the most popular methods. A step - to - step guide on connecting Kasa things to HomeKit through HomeBridge is a bit lengthy. A little coding knowledge would be of help, with HomeBridge.

How To Add TP-Link to HomeKit Using HOOBS?

HOOBS gives you another way to connect compatible Kasa devices to Apple Home. You can use a HOOBS Box or install HOOBS software on your own Raspberry Pi or computer.

1. Connect your HOOBS device to power and your network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
2. Make sure your phone, tablet, or computer is connected to the same network.
3. Open a browser and go to http://hoobs.local.
4. Create your admin account and finish the initial setup.
5. Open the Plugins section in HOOBS.
6. Find and install the TP-Link Kasa plugin, then save the plugin settings.
7. Open the Apple Home app, tap Add Accessory, and scan or enter the HomeKit setup code shown in HOOBS.

Not only Kasa Apple HomeKit integration, Hive HomeKit integration, Hikvision HomeKit integration,, and RingDoorbell HomeKit integration were also very easy with this.

How to Add TP-Link Kasa Devices to Apple Home Using Homebridge?

Homebridge is another way to connect older Kasa devices to Apple Home. This setup uses the homebridge-tplink-smarthome plugin, which finds compatible Kasa devices on your local network. You do not need to enter your Kasa account login details.

The plugin supports several older HS and KP plugs, along with LB and KL bulbs and light strips. It does not support Tapo devices.

Note: The developer no longer regularly tests this plugin with Homebridge and TP-Link devices. Check the plugin's GitHub page to make sure your Kasa model is supported before installing it.

1. Set up Homebridge if you have not already.
2. Open the Homebridge web interface.
3. Go to Plugins.
4. Search for homebridge-tplink-smarthome and install it.
5. Open the plugin settings and save the default configuration. Compatible Kasa devices should be discovered automatically on most networks.
6. Restart Homebridge. If it is not already connected to Apple Home, open the Home app, tap Add Accessory, and scan the QR code shown in Homebridge.

Kasa device not showing up? Your network may be blocking the local discovery used by the plugin. You can try giving the Kasa device a static IP address and adding it manually in the plugin settings.

You can also add Roomba devices to HomeKit and even add Shelly devices to HomeKit or other incompatible devices using HomeBridge.

Editor's Pick

Some Kasa devices now work directly with Apple Home through HomeKit or Matter, so I would first check the exact model before using a bridge. If your Kasa device does not have native support, AddtoHomeKit, ATH Bridge, Homebridge, and HOOBS are alternative ways to bring it into Apple Home. The right option depends on whether you prefer a software solution, a ready-made device, or a more customizable setup.
