> 3 dayIve got 9 Kasa devices and have the same issue with all of them. They frequently disconnect from Alexa. I am not having an issue with my other 40+ devices of various brands, just Kasa. I bought them because they were inexpensive. You definitely get what you pay for in this case. They have not released a firmware update in forever which makes them a target for hackers.

> 3 dayThis 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!

18-11-2024The Kasa plugs are fantastic. You download their app for setup. Alexa immediately recognizes the plugs. I just got a third Kasa smart plug and when I opened the Kasa app, it added the new plug immediately, I did not push on anything, BOOM. Then I opened Alexa, gave it a new name and added it to a group. Easey Peasey! Snatch them up if you see them on sale.

> 3 dayLove it. Works like 99% well. Very rarely i gotta unplug it and replyg it in to reset it due to it not being responcive to alexa. Its so rare tho its not exactly a deal breaker. I wouldnt trade it.

> 3 dayWeve set it up as then intermediary connection for the hot water pump that sends the hot water to the far reaches of our house (MBR). Its been a Godsend for that purpose. On a couple of occasions weve had wifi connectivity issues, but thats been rare. I havent used the timer function, but I may buy a couple more of these to use for lamps, etc. for when we travel. Good product though so far.

Greater than one weekSo 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!

> 3 dayThis 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

> 3 dayI have quite few Kasa devices around the house as well as some other brands. I like Kasa because they seem to be reliable. I dont seem to have the connection issues Ive had with other brands. I like that I can just give it a name and then tell Alexa to control it by name. It makes it easy to set things up for my wife in a way that she will remember and actually use and lets her replace all the old style rotary timers she was always asking me to tweak. Plus we have enough of them around the house these days that its easy to make the house look occupied when we are away. I like this particular model as its smaller than some of the earlier Kasa outlets I have but other than that thery all work pretty much that same and thats been pretty good for me so Ill probably be back if and when I need more.

> 3 dayI have 4 of these and used them to control all of my inside Christmas lights. What a time saver! Works with Alexa beautifully and the app is really user friendly also. You can set timers for each plug to turn on and off whenever you want. The app also shows you On Time so you can track energy usage. Really cool product.

> 3 dayEasy 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.
