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

This is one of my favorite smart devices. I have a few of my own and have given a few as gifts. Super easy to set up and works great with both Alexa and Google Home. Loved using it with my Christmas tree.

TP-Link makes some great products for your smart home. Would be 5 stars, but two things made me give it 4. It’s slightly too wide even though it’s a “mini”, and every once in a while it disconnects from WiFi. It’s possible it could be my internet...but I doubt it because others of the same plug still work when one doesn’t. Still a quality product with a good app.

I have a sealed crawlspace under the house, in which I run a dehumidifier. It isnt necessary to run it more than a few hours a day, but gong underneath twice a day isnt an option. With this, I have full control of the power to the unit. I have a schedule set, so that I dont have to worry about it. Range is surprisingly good: through the floor and down the house a ways to the router. Wasnt expecting it to reach. Very happy.

Rather that plug/unplug Christmas lights in three places multiple times a day, I tried these this year. It was great! I just opened the app and tap-tap-tap the lights on/off as I wanted throughout each day. I mightve been able to make Scene to do it all in one-tap, but it so easy already that I didnt bother. There was generally a couple seconds delay as the app connected after a period of non-use. Once or twice this was a bit longer. Overall no issue. Ill probably find more good uses during the rest of the year and use these again.

facil y muy practico de uso

I have 5 of these now on multiple plugs. App is intuitive and integrates GREAT with Alexa. The schedule feature is great - providing the ability to schedule on/off times for all your devices.

This is my first smart plug from this particular manufacturer. Two issues - 1: you need to be on 2.4Ghz and not 5Ghz. Found that information online, but not in the app. 2: While setting up the plug in the app, it said I needed to be connected to MY Wi-Fi, which I was. Actually, at that point, I needed to connect to the plugs Wi-Fi signal. That part wasted a ticket to their help desk. Speaking of which, I give a big two thumbs up to their help desk. They responded quickly and gave me a link to instructions that explained it much better than what was in the app. Except for that one little setup glitch, it seems to work well, and I quickly linked to Alexa and tested it several times. I think it will work well for my application.

I connected it to my wifi router I wanted so I could power the router off and on I was able to power the router off with the phone but it would not power the router back on with my phone. I returned back to Amazon.

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.

It integrated with Google perfectly, although I did have to download the TP-Link app as well. The unit does not take up much space so I can use the outlet below with no issue. Its always worked perfectly from the widget on my phone unlike some other smart devices I have.
