Kasa Smart Plug HS103P2, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control,15 Amp,UL Certified, 2-Pack White

After a couple tries, I got these HS103 smart plugs connected on the Kasa app (lose 1 star on install). Then I was able to connect each plug to my Google Home account. Now I (and my wife) have on/off buttons for each smart plug on our Google Home apps. Slight bummer is that automation (auto on/ off by time) has to be programmed from Kasa app, not google home. so lose 1 star for integration. Although Google Home integration could be better, overall, it meets my minimum requirements. Anyone w my Google Home can turn each outlet on / off independently.

I needed a way to remotely turn on or off some circuits in my house. I am not yet using Alexa integration, just the iOS app. Installation and onboarding of the 2 plugs was simple and took less than 5 minutes to bring both plugs online in different parts of the house. They are sold by TP-Link, a fact I didnt realize when I ordered. Knowing they were a TP-Link product would have made my decision to buy this product a little easier because I have good luck with TP-Link networking products with the exception being they are slow to update firmware. My biggest negative is the size. As you can see from the pic, it fits somewhat on a power strip, but it takes out the outlet to the left and right if placed anywhere but first or last outlet. I know the Expressif systems-on-chip well. They are the microcontroller brand most often used in WiFi connected products these days. I have Expressif boards the size of my thumbnail so I know it is possible to shrink the footprint. I suspect theres a relay, some other components such as capacitors, resistors, the led-illumation and pushbutton, and thats about it. The size may be due to the power requirements to handle several amps of power. In conclusion, I need to set up a more complete home automation system and do some more research before buying more. But I would not hesitate to buy these again if they continue to meet my requirements.

It was easy to add the app and plug them in and set them to the lights however they turn off automatically but they dont turn on as scheduled, I manually do it from the app. However I do like to convey and to be able turn the lights on away from home.

I have 15 of this company’s products in my house. Three of them are of this type. They were easy to set up they work well. Some of them I’ve had for four or five years still working flawlessly highly recommend customer service is great if you need them, which I only did it once and setting up 15 items.

These are kind of a p in the a to get hooked up to Alexa but they work great and seem to have adequate range.

First off, I am just getting into smart home devices so naturally I am a newbie. I have an Ecobee Smart Thermostat with Alexa so I wanted to expand my smart devices. We put up our Christmas decorations, inside and outside. I was getting sick of turning them off individually -- there were times that we forgot to turn them off so they were on all night. After some research, I stumbled upon the Kasa smart plugs which seemed like a dream come true. Comparatively, there were cheaper than the Philips Hue series and the reviews were consistently great. I took a chance and boy, I am extremely happy with these (as well as the outdoor plug). It was as simple as 1-2-3 as far as setting them up. I read a couple reviews saying the app doesnt work and sync with their plugs. Not sure what all the fuss is all about but they worked perfectly fine. Its nice that you can set up a schedule as well as a group so all devices can turn on and off depending on what device youve chosen. Its also nice to say, Alexa, turn on Christmas Decorations and all the lights turn on. Ive also set up Movie Night where the Christmas tree and some window lights turn off so there isnt glare. Overall, I am very happy with these smart plugs and I hope Kasa comes out with more products because I am happy with their products! 10/10 would recommend.

These work perfectly; they are just a little bulky. They connect easily and stay connected. They work with the Kasa App on your phone like a remote control, and with Alexa so they are very convenient, plus they have an on/off button on the side. I have several and am very happy with them. Just think about where you want to plug it.

I used WeMo smartplugs originally and those would disconnect from the network once in awhile and it was a pain to get them reconnected. Got tired of that happening so I bought some of these Kasa smartplugs hoping to get away from the WeMo ones. Success! No more disconnecting and these Kasa work better and faster than the WeMo. The app also boots up much quicker to where my plugs are quickly available. Id rate the WeMo at a 6 out of 10 These Kasa I would rate at a 10 out of 10. Ive been using the Kasa for awhile...since March of this year...and have yet to have any kind of problem with them. If I do Ill edit this review

Simple set up and works with google home. I have one outside and its held up well to the elements so they are pretty tough. Wish it had a slightly slimmer profile though.

Bought to use with my Christmas village and tree lights. They were perfect for this and the app.was easy to use with lots of features! Will be buying a few more.
