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 have had some garage break-ins in our area and someone recommended I get one of these for my garage. Using the app on my phone lets me set the timer. Now I don’t have to worry about anyone using a garage door opener to get in. Great product.

Great product! In my situation it’s hard to reach where I have my night lights plugged in. This smart plug makes it super easy to turn on the lights at dusk without struggling to reach the outlet. I did not connect to Alexa nor did I need tech support so I have no comment on that. The installation steps were easy to follow but just a little frustrating waiting for it to connect. I had to retry several times.

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.

This smart plug fulfills it purpose wonderfully. I just wish it could do more (e.g. like its big brother, the Kasa 6 plug power strip, which tracks the electrical usage of each plug). Originally purchased to turn on and off a difficult to access lamp, it lost its purpose after I received just one Philip smart bulb. Well, actually, after the first smart bulb, I realized every lamp and light fixture needed a smart dimmable bulb. While I have, yet, to convert 100% of the fixtures, all lamps are now using Philip smart dimmable bulbs. The bulbs are so much better than an on/off switch. I have yet to find the plug another purpose. The power strip is tracking the electrical usage of my big computer, 3 monitors, and external devices (e.g. drives, video capture, hubs, etc). This plug, unlike the strip, can only turn on and off. Our goal with these smart devices is to track and / or reduce our electric usage. Beside the lights and computer, there really isnt anything we own needing remote on / off capability. It isnt the plugs fault, its just got limits. If you need a smart plug, this one or the Amazon smart plug are the ones you should consider. Of course, you should consider getting a plug able to track your electrical needs There is always its brother the strip. 5 stars, after all my lack of finding it a new job isnt its fault.

I have ordered/installed and configured numerous TP Link Kasa Smart Plugs as well as light switches in my home. They have worked better than I could have ever imagined! Easy integration with Amazon Echo/Alexa! I’ve not only set up scheduled routines, but vocal command “scenes” If you’ve ever set up a similar product (ie connect phone to Kasa device via Wifi, enter your Wifi Info/configure/Name and Done!) These are a great value!

The Kasa items that I have are great, this item is too...but...with the outlet on the front of the device it can make it awkward to use behind a piece of furniture. I wish it had the plug on the side. BUT it is a great, easy to use item IF the application is right.

I only gave it 4 stars because it’s a very lengthy process to install but once installed; It works great.

I have been looking for a replacement outlet to replace the previous one I had that wasnt working with my new Samsung SmartThings set up. I did a little research and found out that this one synchronizes with the Kasa app, so I decided to give it a try it worked perfectly right out of the box. I paired it up and was good to go. I also love the fact that it has a light on the side to let you know if it is on or not and the switch nice as well. If this was helpful or you like my review, please click Helpful Many Thanks!

Great product, easy to install and works well with Alexa. Timers are easy to set and forget. After trying, Ive bought several. My only complaint is that its a bit bulky. I understand the need for the depth, but with it wasnt so wide. Its not practical for use on many power strips or multi-outlet wall sockets because it will overlap over other outlets.

I love these smart plug ins. Ive got several for lamps and other things. I recently purchased one for the fan in my bedroom. I dont run a fan every night but when I do decide I need it, its great that I can just ask Google to turn it on after Ive gotten all settled into bed.
