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

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 like the easiness of turning on/ off a device using this Smart Plug. Have to follow thru the sequence on the two Apps. I now have purchased 4 Mini Plugs which had not intended to do but since with an Alexa command, it is so technical to make life better. I recommend this Seller and their Smart Plugs.

Im the kind of person that needs to wake up early in the morning but it doesnt come naturally to me. There might be other devices that match the sunrise to help you wake up, but those are also $200. With this you can set a timer so that the light is on when you wake up. I just plug my lamp into it and it works like a charm. Same effect for 1/10 the price. It works off of an app in your phone. I dont have alexa so I cant speak to how it works with that

I have about 10 smart outlets installed around the house. Half are the earlier versions of these that are big and bulky and cover the entire outlet and the other half are this small, sleek version. I love em. I cant think of a single time Ive had a problem with them. They just work. No resetting necessary. I set schedules for them and/or use them with Alexa and they work perfectly. No need for dang hub either. I get the purpose of the hub to help with network congestion but I havent had any issues with these. Buy them. Do it.

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.

I got this for my daughters 5 gallon aquarium in order to turn on and off the light. It was really easy to set up through their app and so far (about 1 month later) works perfectly. I would definitely recommend it to all the people as you dont need to be an expert to set it up.

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.

After using this plug with the app for many months, they broke it without any notification. I had a schedule to turn it on every day at sunset, and turn it off after bedtime. Worked for a long time, then suddenly, it will only set to Sun, Mon, Tue (even though it says on the main page MWF). At first, I thought, oh thats why its not working, and I went through and set it for all days, and saved. Opened it back up, and it was back to MTW. No way would it set for more than the 3 days. So I tried making a new one for Th Fri Sat, and it wouldnt accept it. It says I must choose a day. Even if I edit an existing action to delete M Tu Wed, it will give an error. So, bottom line, it only will schedule an action for Mon, Tue, and Wed. But it doesnt tell you that, of course. A quick search led me to many Reddit posts about this, and how many people got screwed when it didnt do something they were counting on. At least it still works with Alexa, so far. Probably works with Google Home, too, but I havent figured out how to set it up because I used to have a Wemo plug, and Google keeps trying to talk to Wemo.

These plugs are great. I plugged all of our Christmas lights into multiple plugs and put them all in a group called “Christmas Lights”. So easy to turn every light on and off with one simple request to Alexa

I used it for the bedroom lamp, pair with the google home, first pairing by kasa app then link the kasa account under google home. It still works well until now after about 3 months, I have move the location and that time and just need to reset it and do the same things, no issue. I also love the design, i look cool, no take over another plugin slot
