Kasa Smart Plug by TP-Link, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control, 15 Amp, UL Certified, 1-Pack(HS103) , WHITE

We love these! We bought a few extra for all of our Christmas lights this year. Being able to put them on her schedule was amazing. I also love to tell Alexa. Hey Alexa turn on Christmas and they all just light up together throughout the house. TP Link Has been the best brand we found so far that carries all smart lights across the board. All forms of smart switches and plugs across. One app to control everything instead of multiple apps figuring out which light or switch is on which app. Some of their switches are a little bit more expensive than competitors however many competitors don’t have the 3 way switches or the dimmers.

This smart Plug was super frustrating to setup, it took me about an hour. The app wouldnt connect until somehow it did. Since then though it has been great, I have 2 and theyve never unpaired or lost connection or anything like that.

I have tried many of the auto switch brand as I have remote properties that I need to monitor and reset devices. I have had problems with WeMo, Blackloud, Amazon switches, and a couple other brands I have tried. Problems from apps that were not the best... to problems with the devices loosing there wifi connects.. etc.. which are all a disaster when your a long way away and cant unplug it to reset. With Kasa, I have only had this problem with maybe 2 devices out of 40, and they had to be reset. With the other brands I had failure rates up to 50 percent... and then some of the other brands couldnt find the device a 2nd time etc... With Kasa it seems very stable, no surprises, always works.. everything shows up on the app. So my multi year test and waste of money has come to an end.. I tossed all the old bad choices, and only use Kasa now.. I love automation. I even have these on auto car float chargers and that I just set to go on twice a week for 3 hours.. all works great. I just wait for sales on these and then load up more. Plus I have Alexa echos in my house.. and have all these linked up so I simple say use commands to turn on and off when going to bed.. also use the auto schedule for most items. Pretty cool.

This smart plug was really good, i can control the light in my closet as well as my desk lamp by voice control via alexa. It’s so great not having to reach to the remote every time i want to turn on the lamp. Make sure you have a really good wifi connection so your alexa has no problem connecting, but other than that i definitely recommend!

This is an amazing device. My lights are now programmed to come on and go off at a certain time. The integration with my WiFi was seamless and the Kasa App was a breeze to setup.

This is a decent smart plug considering the price. It works, and it will connect w/Alexa. The side button for manual operation works better than a front button for applications where it might be behind a dresser, appliance, etc. The downsides, and the reasons I consider it an average product are: - Requires an app to configure. Really, the last thing I want is another app on my phone, especially to control smart devices in my house when my goal is to consolidate in Alexa or Smartthings. None of my other smart plugs require a third-party app to connect, they are simply discoverable. - Significant lag w/Alexa. I have this plug controlling an LED light strip under my kitchen cabinets and its grouped with my other kitchen lights. While every other light comes on immediately, there is always a lag of several seconds before this plug responds. More of an irritation. - Tends to start falling out of the outlet if you have something bulky plugged into it, perhaps with a transformer integrated in the plug vs an everyday plug (like for a lamp). I think this is because of its primarily horizontal orientation vs a vertical orientation like other smart plugs I have. It hasnt fallen out altogether yet, but whenever I look at it I wind up pushing it fully back in to the socket.

Ive tried at least a half dozen brands of these type devices, including in-wall switches. Its time to standardize to make it easier to deal with so I chose TPLink. The app works great and the devices work quickly with the Alexa integration. Im giving away all the other brands Ive tried- one app, properly working stuff is all I want now. Its rare that one loses connection, but if they do- it seems they are back online quickly. Ive even decided to go with the whole TPLink ecosystem of cameras and in-wall dimmers. If youre unsure which brand to go with, Ive been into home automation since we used to have to write our own scripts for X10 protocol... theres not much out there I havent tried. TPLink is consumer grade and low priced, but it performs really well. In my case, Ive even used a spare older router just to connect to the 38 automation devices separately from the regular internet devices... Im really happy with the performance and prices.

I said many great reviews -- really for the part number HS103P2, this is the single item version. Three nits: The box it came in said to Get the Kasa for Mobile app. Well, at least at the App(le) store this gets you the wrong app -- nothing close to being a TP-Link app. Secondly, I spent a long (pleasant) time chatting with tech support only to find out that it could not be setup on a network with three active channels under one SSID. (Had to shut down all but one access point to get it to setup.) Thirdly, once setup, it will always use that original channel even if there are stronger channels available. (E.g. after setting it up, I turned my other access points on and moved the HS103 across the house. Original channel was weak, HS103 would not use another much stronger channel.) Beware of this issue. Otherwise, a slick piece of hardware.

This was pretty easy to set up with google assistant. The only issue is having to instal and remove 2x as the google assistant did not respond the first time saying that it was not connected. But Once up and running it’s seamless from there

I love that fact that you can use the other part of the plug while this is plugged in. Unlike the other larger ones that cover both receptors. Also, so easy to set up!!
