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 bought these to avoid wasteful and expensive hubs and light bulbs. Im using it for various lamps and integrated with Alexa for voice commands and the Kasa app for cellphone control. Its relatively easy to set up although if you turn off the wifi on your phone its not usable by voice or app but still has side buttons you can use on the plug. Although it sometimes goes offline I found it easy to reset simply by swiping off and on the Kasa app. The design is nice since its rectangular, allowing you to use the other free plug. I love it for turning off and on lamps as I go up and downstairs. It was also great for my Christmas tree lights. Ability to group plugs is a nice feature.

While you can find ‘cheaper’ or ‘smaller’ smart plugs you must remember that half the beauty of it is if it & its company / app / features are, well, smart. It’s pointless to get a cheaper or smaller one just to end up constantly stressed from set-up trials to its apps functionality. This one is affordable AND the company is reliable in the quality of there products which is why I give this 4.5 Stars because it is one of the best smart plugs out there for this good of a price ( I’ll get to why not 5 in a moment ) For example as some others have said, with We-Mo you had to scan the plugs to use them which is extremely difficult when something is plugged in behind furniture or in my case ( as I am 5’1 … and a quarter - hey every little bit counts ! ) but Kasa was easy to set up and even easier to use ! I love that it has the sense feature - that is a HUGE plus for this price and this kind of solid company. As is the ability to set an an On as well as an Off timer in case you forget, and you can set it in a few different ways such as with the sun rise or set and with a set schedule on the app. Works seamlessly. Only issue is what others have sad about the reality of it’s energy saving power and how what it actually uses being way more than what it claims. But overall like I said at the start, it is worth paying a few extra dollars to not have your blood pressure and sanity tested by more difficult and time consuming ( ironic as they are suppose to be time and energy- both it’s and my own energy saving ) products when this Kasa one is a huge jump in quality and reliability. So go for it !

These have served multiple purposes. First, we are using one on a hot-water recirculation pump that was originally plugged directly into a wall outlet. We didnt want it to run all the time, just for a few minutes before taking a shower, so now we can control it from a smart phone inside the house rather than going out to the garage to plug in then unplug it. (I know that any smart plug could do this, but Ill say that the Kasa has been reliable in maintaining an internet connection and the Kasa app is really easy to use. I dont see a need for Alexa or another program since all of our smart pugs are Kasa brand so far.) Second, we enrolled on OhmConnect, which offers small rewards (one example of which was one of these smart plugs, which is how I learned about them before deciding to buy more) for using less energy during peak electricity generation hours. That saves my utility company from having to buy the most expensive power and I think it reduces use of less environmentally friendly options, like burning coal. Pretty much a win-win. We let OhmConnect control our Kasa outlets for brief periods of peak electricity use (usually one hour at a time, early evening), meaning that they can turn them off for those periods. This works great for our fridge and freezer, which are fine being off for such short periods. If we had other big energy drawing appliances that could be shut off during the hours chosen by OhmConnect, wed buy more. It is minimal hassle while contributing to the greater good. The worst that has happened has been to open the fridge during the shut-off period and find the light is off, but fridges lose very little of their coolness in as short a time as an hour. Probably more than you wanted to know, but hoping to offer some education about this program. (Im sure there is more than one like it offered and it has to be offered by your utility company. OhmConnect happens to be what our utility company partnered with.)

es muy practico y funciona muy bien, me encanta como se enciende y se apaga hasta atraves del celular

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

I read the reviews here which talked about the Energy Monitoring feature (great, thats what I wanted), but that feature is actually only included in the single style (KP115). Im not sure why the reviews are mixed together here between the 1 pack and the 4 pack which are actually differently capable devices. Someone should fix that. Anyway, other than the very unclear instructions about: 1. How to get into WiFi pairing mode initially: with the EP10 devices, you have to press and hold the side button for 5 seconds, while with the KP115, it automatically enters this mode during initial power-on 2. how to get integrated with the Amazon (Alexa Home) ecosystem, wow was that a pain to find (hint: Kasa app->Me->Third Party Services->Amazon Alexa) - even though I selected yes to the pre-pair with my Amazon/Alexa account on purchase, nothing seems to have been pre-synced/setup ... its worked as advertised. Looking forward to even smaller versions of these smart plugs in the future.

Easy to install and works well.

Simple to set up. Had them for a couple of months and they work great

I bought these on a whim- I wasn’t completely sure how well they would work, but a friend recommended them. When they arrived it took me about 15 minutes to set up the first one, and maybe 5 minutes for the second one. They work great. I have some lamps attached to them, and it’s nice to be able to turn them on or off like night lights. It’s also nice to be able to turn lights on from the car when I know my hands will be full when I come home. The price is very affordable, and the app is easy to use. (I only use the app- I don’t have it hooked up to Alexa or anything like that.)

I have so many of these it’s crazy. It is a super easy to use and super easy way to make electronics and lighting into smart devices. And you can move them around as needed. I use them for lights when we are gone, to automatically activate at certain times, and also for holiday lighting…I love these smart plugs, and the newer ones are smaller than the originals considerably.
