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)

So far this is the absolute best smart plug that weve used! The setup is insanely easy and it works perfectly with Google Home. I cannot attest to Alexa integration because we dont have her in our home. But I highly recommend these plugs. In fact, not only do I use only these Kasa smart plugs but I also use Kasa smart lightbulbs. They too are the best Ive used and I have tried several manufacturers! I know I sound like a walking billboard but thats because I really love Kasas products. I did not get paid in any way to say these things - their products are just that good!

Easy to setup. Only caveat is we have to have a common account for two of us to control the outlet. Unless I’m missing something on how to share this device with others in the household. Replaced a difficult to use manual timer. If this continues to be solid, I will order more.

This smart plug is a great way to enhance your home without complicated or expensive installation of switches or a hub. It uses the kasa app (downloadable to your phone) and can respond to google (and alexa, but I have not tested her) to actuate your outlets. We used it for our Christmas tree since the outlet was buried behind gifts and decorations. The set-up was easy and they seem to work well. You can also program them to turn an outlet on and off at scheduled times.

Easy to install, versatile programmibg. I purchased 3 and glad I did! As a person with low vision,, I dont have to stumble into a room and fumble for lights! I can turn them on - and off - as I desire, right from the app! Also, when I arrived home after my old-time timers were already off, I was entering in the dark. Not so with Kasa; I can turn on inside lights while Im still in my car!

I have purchased two of these. I have one set up with a fan and another with a space heater. Both of them are able to handle the heavier load (15A) that these items produce. Other plugs that I’ve used that are adequate to switch on lights were blown out by the higher loads fans and heaters produce.. Works great with Alexa. “Alexa, turn on the fan.” I use the timer with the space heater warm my bathroom before I get ready for work. I can also say “Alexa, turn on/off heater.”

I like automation. Have one on a desk light, used daily. Has a plug-in slide dimmer on a wire between it and the lamp, so it turns on on a command, and dims from a wire. Have one on my motorcycle trickle charger. I can just turn it on timer for an hour or two to top off the battery, if I feel the bike has not had enough use. I have not scheduled, but would imagine that works well, also. Used it on the Christmas tree, too. Alexa, turn on plug Tree worked great! (Go Brooklyn!) The enclosure could be a little less real-estate hungry...

I got two of these with Echo dots I bought as gifts. Gifted the dots, kept the plugs as the dot recipient wouldnt have used them anyway. Purchasing with the echo brought the price down to about $5 each which is fair. I think full price is too much. To use these you do have to install the Kasa App which at first I didnt like till I realized I can now operate the lights from my phone and can also create groups of devices which can be operated all at once from the phone. I used one plug to operate two lamps in one room and the other plug for a lamp in another room. Using the phone or Alexa I can turn them on and off. Using the phone only I grouped them and can turn all off and on at once if needed. I wouldnt bother with fixtures that are readily accessible but these are great for out of the way fixtures or lights in more distant rooms. Its nice to walk in and just say turn on the lights. My girlfriend likes that she does not have to walk into a dark house.

This product works fine. Be aware, though that you will need to set up an app to run the devices and, after putting a dozen devices on this system, I needed to change my email address. THIS CANNOT BE DONE. Kasa said to delete my account, make a new account, and install the devices on the new one. Who has 100 hours to do that? UGH!

I have used the Kasa app for over a year. Later it started to ask me for my password even if I exit and then go right back it. Now, it just deleted every smart plug I own. Virtually everything electric in my house and office is controlled by the app and now all gone as far as control goes. I asked for help three times via the Kada app and each plea for help goes unanswered. It is like once they got my money, now no service. Come on tech support, how about support after the sale? Check your emails and help a customer.

I’ve owned a lot of smart plugs over the years, and I think I can safely say this is the easiest to set up (took...maybe 2 mins...maybe less?) and has so far proven to be the most reliable. It also has a very nice small footprint. Why on earth anybody still uses Wemo smart plugs (bulky, unreliable, often decide they don’t want to be controlled by Alexa anymore - “unresponsive”, and take a really long time...and a prayer... to set them up), is anyone’s guess. But I have finally given up on them, and will probably use this brand from now on.
