Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, UL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4-Pack(EP10P4) , White

I am beyond thrilled to have finally figured out how to integrate motion detection with the smart plugs so that certain smart plugs (where i have plugged in lamps), go off only with motion detection during certain hours. So first off, get the indoor Kasa cams too. They are inexpensive, and place them where you want motion detection. I was lucky bc we already had indoor Kasa cams all over our home. Next set up your smart plugs normal set up(go through the Kasa set up to add the device to your app). This is where it starts to get tricky but I promise once you do it once, you will find it SO EASY!! I am so excited to share this bc even when I asked Kasa support they didnt know the exact steps. First you are going to set up the ACTION you want triggered (you will set up the hours you want this to happen between later). 1. Go to Smart Action tab. --> When-->Trigger Device-->choose camera of your liking.---> Then ---> Control Smart Device --->choose your smart plug of your liking.--> Label it Motion Front Entry or something like that. Save. NOW we are going to set up during WHAT TIMES we want this motion detection to happen. For ex you likely only want a lamp to go off during nighttime hours, such as after sunset till 11pm. You can even offset your sunrise and sunset times such as before sunset 10 mins, or after sunrise plus 30 min. 1. Go to Smart Action tab--->When--->Trigger Time-->choose time you want your motion detection to start.-->Then--->Enable Smart Action--->pick the Motion Front Entry or whatever smart action you made for the motion detection. Hit Save. Now do this last step again but instead of Enable Smart Action you will choose Disable Smart Action at your specified Trigger time. You can even set up different times of day. For ex I have motion detection during early morning hours AND PM hours. I love this system so much. If you dont want motion detection just set up normal schedule like whatever days of week to turn on and off certain time too. I did this with our outdoor light switches for example.

These units are easy to set up and work really great !! I run NY outside LEDs on a timer on/Off and they work perfectly. I also have a couple of inside lights I do the same with. Great that if the power is interrupted they will re-connect when the power returns and do not lose the programming. Very pleased. Reccomend them.

The product is excellent, connected fast and entered the network without a problem.

This worked exactly as I needed it to and replaced all the mechanical timers I had in my house. They were a little bit of a pain to install and pair but once installed they are incredibly easy to use and program. The app gives a lot if freedom in the programs you can use setting different start and end times.

Easy to setup and use. Can be controlled while traveling overseas. Inexpensive. Fast response time. Will get more.

I bought a 2 pack of these because they were on sale just to use for a floor lamp that has a foot switch. Once I figured out how to set them up, I had to have more. I now have 8 of these. They work with Alexa so when your coming through the front door, you can say, “Alexa! Turn on the floor lamp!” and a second later, it’s on. Or if you are coming home from grocery shopping in December when it’s gets dark at 4 pm, I can go in the app and turn on the lights from the grocery store so when I walk through the door with all my groceries I don’t have to fumble for a light switch. I have one on a small, one room, window air conditioner and can set a schedule for it to come on at a particular time on certain days. I have one in my kids room for a salt lamp that they use for a night light scheduled to come on every night at 8pm so they can see at bedtime and then off at 11pm so it’s not on all night. The only thing I can say remotely negative about these is that they need to upgrade the app. It works well but the user interface is a bit clunky with the widgets on iOS. They haven’t taken advantage of the new widget format so you can’t put it anywhere. It stays in the widget page and there is a lot of wasted space. This is not negative of the products functionality, it’s just how I feel about the app. There are some really nice things about the app as well. You can make “scenes” which is having more than one outlet doing something together in one tap. When I want to watch a movie, I hit my “Movie” scene I created and it turns off all of my lights but turns on a nightlight in the kitchen and a dim mood light in the living room. Some items that I have like my battery charger do not have an on/off switch so I would constantly have to plug it in to use it and then unplug it when I was done. This made it hard to place because I have to have it near an outlet that I have access to. Now, I put one of these smart switches on it and I can put it wherever I want. I also made a scene for “All Off” so I can turn off everything with just a tap. When you open the app, it shows you what outlets are on and which ones are off. Great for the person who always thinks they left something on.

Easy to install and works well.

Muy bueno

Simple and does the job reliably. Can fit two in a double outlet.

I can read my book and echo turns the light of for me!!! Perfect for me.
