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)

No more fighting who has to get out of bed to flip the light switch.... Alexa turn off the light No more having to reach back in the awkward corner to plug in the Christmas Tree... Alexa turn on/off the Christmas Tree No more having to run upstairs to plug in the Christmas lights on the hand rail... Alexa turn on/off the Christmas lights No more having to toggle the light switch hidden behind the door in my office... Alexa turn on/off the office light Alexa app could be a little smarter. You can set up a group in Kasa (such as Christmas) but the app isnt smart enough to recognize the group Alexa turn on/off Christmas to turn on/off the group. (This is available in the Kasa phone app)

I had some issues setting this up. I got it as a bundle with a dot. I thought it would come preloaded to work with alexia, like the last bundle, but it wasnt. The tip was to download the tp app. It was easy from there. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the setup. Otherwise it works great.

After growing frustrated with how pathetically bad WEMO is, I opted for this less expensive option. And Im so glad I did. The WEMO devices, of which I have 3, were a headache to get installed (and this coming from a tech guy who is the one everyone calls for help setting things up...yes, WEMO is THAT bad, that even if you know what youre doing, it still involves a bit of luck to get it set up properly). The Kasa mini plug (and the same goes for the RGB bulb by Kasa I also bought) was a BREEZE to set up. Seriously, if all tech were this easy to set up, my family and friends would leave me alone with all the can you come help me set this up calls Im routinely bombarded with. Within 5 minutes, I had set up the app and installed and used both the mini plug AND the smart bulb AND had already integrated them with Google Home (cant speak to the Alexa setup since I dont own one). Its THAT easy. Super impressed. If the durability on these devices is good (Ill update if I ever have any failures or other issues) then seriously, Kasa are the smart devices everyone should be flocking to. All-in-all...color me impressed. Will DEFINITELY be adding more Kasa devices in the coming weeks and months. Thanks TP-Link for an amazing set of devices. :)

i kinda have a love/hate relationship with these plugs. Most the time they work however its always when Im in bed and I ask Alexa to turn something off that they malfunction. Getting outta bed to reset them completely defeats the purpose. Would I buy them again ? Yes. Would I pay more for superior ones ? Yes. they still are nicer than NOT having them just wish they were more consistent in their functioning.

They work well. I have them on just about every plugged in light and always use one on the Christmas tree and the outdoor version for lights. It is so much easier to ask alexa to turn on the tree than to crawl under and plug it in. The timer function great for not only turning the lights on an off but also a good way to turn lights off late at night if someone forgets to turn them off. The sunrise and sunset options come in very handy and these have replaced all my mechanical timers. The wifi setup is the only downfall. It isnt too complicated but not straight forward either. I had to set a couple of these up for a coworker who was ready to give up and return them. If you happen to change your wifi password the update process is more difficult than it has to be.

I have a bunch of different plugs and lights that are smart, and this one was one of the easier to connect. I still have to get the app for it but once I connected it to the plug it automatically connected to alexa. I think you have to store your wifi password for that to work, but I find the integration very simple. I am not a whiz at this stuff, I am 60 years old so not great with all this new stuff, but this to me was pretty easy. I also liked that they let you put a picture of whatever you are controlling into the app so you can look at the photo plus the text name. This was nice to identify....in case you have a bunch of outlets that might have similar names it just makes it a little easier. Thanks for reading my review Becky Brooks

It took forever for the app to work for me. Once I finally got it to work,though, I love how I can turn on & off lights from my bed & schedule it to randomly turn on lights when Im out of town. I bought another so I can also have a radio playing when Im gone but am still trying to get this one set up!

This is an excellent product that enabled us to install rope lighting throughout the pool patio. I was able to integrate with my network and Homebridge and can now use with Siri. The app that comes with the product is also very good, enabling schedules for each day to turn on and turn off as needed. Very small and fits in the receptacle, even with an outdoor cover around it.

Sets up easily and works great when working directly with it. The Alexa integration is USUALLY great. But if it’s in an Alexa Group that has a dimmer, it’ll sometimes turn on when you tell it to or sometimes require you to tell it to set the group to 100. It might be this device or it might be Alexa. I haven’t figured that out yet. Still a great product

Ive used these switches all over my home for the lights I have the plug directly into the wall. Being able to tell Alexa to turn those lights on is lovely, especially when you are lazy after a hard day haha. I have used these switches around my home for over a year now, and have not had a problem with any of them. They are easy to setup, and simply forget about. Which I absolutely love. The Kasa app allows you to control what ever is connected to this switch from anywhere you have an internet connection. The app is intuitive and simple. Personally I think these are the best Alexa outlets on the market.
