Kasa Smart Plug Mini, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa & Google Home, Wi-Fi Simple Setup, No Hub Required – A Certified for Humans Device (HS105)

Attached my lights so Alexa can turn them on when asked to. Or you can program when you’d like to turn on what’s plugged in. I set it to turn on when my alarm wakes me up I’m the morning. Easy to figure out, I’m not the best with setting up electronics. And this was a breeze.

I keep getting more and more of these. I use them all over my house. I use the app on my phone and Amazon Alexa to turn them on and off or schedule routines. Good quality and great price. Can’t beat them.

This Smart Plug does everything you need it to do. I bought this for $5 on a Amazon deal. I always thought these were gimmicky items and never saw a need for one but I couldnt pass it up for the price. Used it for first time for our Christmas Tree. Its pretty convienet to just tell Alexa to turn off the lights to the Christmas Tree instead of having to get down on all fours and fumble with the hidden surge protector. I like to hide all my cables and surge protectors so they are out of sight. This allowed me to keep everything hidden. For $5 dollars its not a bum deal

I got one last Christmas and never used it, but this year I thought about buying smart bulbs for the electric candles in the windows and they were too expensive. Then I saw the one I got last year and plugged it in and set up the timer on my iPhone and it worked perfectly. So I bought one for each window on both floors of the house. Now we dont have to go up and down to turn them off each night. I also just bought 4 more for our oldest son and they love them as well.

Though I use the Kasa smart bulbs in most areas of my home, I bought this plug to use for string lights (no on/off switch) that are on top of my upper cabinets in the kitchen. The plug for the lights is in a cabinet above the microwave, and was a pain to turn them on and off. Installed the smart plug on that outlet and now only have to ask Alexa to turn them on and off, and no longer have to get the step stool out and move things around to access the outlet in the back of the cabinet to plug them in/out. Smart anything is a great convenience in our homes, but in hard to reach areas these make so much sense. And set up is a breeze!

Let me tell you... this device; amongst other similar devices comes in handy! When I leave out of the state I can still control the settings and pretend as if I or another family member are still at home. So funny story... my daughter was on restriction and sometimes she likes to sneak and watch TV while I am not home. What did I do? I turned that light on with my phone and watched her (hidden cam in livingroom) get startled, jump up and turn that TV off and shoot straight to her room to get in bed. Lol.

Does what it says it will. Have been using for years without issues

Great value for this product! Easy to set up, works with Alexa and the app very well! Will be buying more

I bought this for my mom to use to help her turn on her Bedroom light with Living room Dot. So far it has done everything expected. Alexa always seems to have delays or forget devices still, but in an attempt of the AI in the consumer baby stages. I believe there is much hope and endless possibilities to the future. Unboxing and syncing them both were very easy and understandable instructions and steps. If you remember to keep all IoT devices on the same network Alexa becomes more manageable. However, I notice the more I put into my Automation the more delays in between using devices becomes. ATT is so fragile and empty promises for 2 years now to offer Fibre, so 50 Mbs and my devices are bottlenecked at such an Overrated price. Makes the Future have the appearance that The Big Carriers can not handle what the future offers at a reasonable price, or that their price gouging of American Citizens for simple things is more of a priority than meeting a 20 Years customers needs. Amazon it seems is stepping up to the plate and I believe may offer internet connectivity at the best price of all of them in the future thus Claiming the Crown in Total internet Subscribers... for the long term.. We will See if I am correct as I will continue to order more automation from Amazon thus far a satisfied consumer. I wouldnt even mind testing their Items as New Egg and other companies offer consumers like me.

I’m writing a review so others are aware that the Kasa app only allows 3 smart functions for all plugs. Not 3 per plug, 3 for all. This is such a flaw I can’t believe they released the product like this. Completely terrible. For example - I was using 2 plugs, one for exterior Christmas lights and one for my inside Christmas tree. I wanted 2 actions per plug - turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise. Total of 4 actions. Due to Kasa limitations I could only have 3 smart actions toggled on at the same time. Completely inadequate. In this age of the smart home the actions should be unlimited. Luckily I just ran the 4 routines through Alexa as a work around. If not for this my review would be 4 stars. Cannot give 5 bc the product is so bulky. Also bc Amazon sent me one plug that had already been configured elsewhere (I assume it was a return). I had to run the reset on the Kasa app 4 times before it worked and allowed me to connect the plug to my network (about 15 minutes of wasted time). I also don’t care for the blue light that stays constant. What is its purpose? If I want to sit in a dark room, for example in bed about to go to sleep and am using the plug to power a fan, I don’t want a blue light in my face.
