Please update the app, it doesn't work with TP-Link Kasa Home (which is now folded into TP-Link Tapo), giving the error "app version is too old". Additionally, no matter what I do, I cannot sign into "Smart Life", I've reset my password with Smart Life and instead of typing it, I've copy/pasted both my username and passwords into each field to avoid any typographical errors and no matter what, it always returns with the same error, "get accesstoken failed, invalid username or password error!"

The windows designer has a steep learning curve, but this is still the best remote software to control all of your AV equipment.
