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

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.

Easy set up, mostly reliable. Doesnt like to stay connected to Google, so I have to set it up again every few weeks.

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.

Love everything about it. Works perfectly. Alexa intervention is perfect too. Only thing is they are a little bigger than I thought they’d be but not too terrible

Works great. Great value for money. Disconnect from the internet sometimes and have to unplug and plug back in but it’s very minor issue

I installed one smart plug from the 2-pack a year ago when I first purchased it a year ago and the installation when smoothly. I tried to set up the second plug and could not get it to work. I went on the website but that did not help. Tried calling and was speaking with a representative almost immediately. I was walked through the steps and within a minute or two the smart plug was up and running. I am very pleased with the service.

Heres an unconventional use of this product that can save you a few bucks: my hot water recirculation pumps built-in mechanical timer broke. Maybe it could be repaired, but for a few bucks this smart plug works even better. The pump is turned to always on, and I set a schedule in the Kasa app so it only runs exactly when needed. Also if Im off my usual schedule, I can turn on the pump from the app and set a timer for it to turn off automatically in 10 minutes. If youre buying a hot water recirculation pump, you can buy a model with a timer, or save ~$50 buying a model without a timer and use this smart plug which works better for less.

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.

I had bought the 2 set HS103P2 three years ago, but hadnt had a reason to use it until now. The first one I had no trouble getting it to connect. The second one would not connect. Contacted support and they quickly got back to me and suggested to do a factory reset and info on how to do it. Worked great! Thanks for the great support!

Great! love the easy set up and the options available for scheduling.
