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)

I 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.

We bought this smart plug to enable us to use our Google Home device to turn our Christmas tree on and off. It saved us so much time! Instead of trying to climb under the tree and fool around with the outlet, we simply instructed Google to turn on the tree. We would definitely recommend this product and would purchase another one. :)

This little plug is fantastic. No more running around to turn off lights at night. You can just ask Alexa to do it. One big bonus for me was being disabled it makes a lot easier on me and safer. This would be ideal if you have a family member or yourself that has mobility issues. A real nice bonuses if youre out and it gets dark you can just go to your Kasa app and turn on the lights. No more walking in to a dark house. Definitely a excellent buy for me.

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.

Reading everyone else’s ups and downs really helped me set up my plug as a timer. Plus, since the app interface isn’t super user friendly a few days into its use it really clicked for me how to use as a timer. Must set up 2 entries stipulating turn on time, then 2nd to turn off time. All good once that was established!!

There is zigbee and zwave, and you can buy plugs with this technology. But I find their mesh networks collapse, probably due to range. This device is wifi based. It does not have a range issue and because it is plugged in it doesnt have a power issue. What I really like about this device... my alexa discovered it without using the kasa app. Its like a zigbee device that you dont need to sign up for another service to use (and pay later... wink wink) but it has the range of wifi win win I only have one caveat for the reader. I got this black Friday as a package with an alexa show. So maybe they did something to pair it to my account first I also have a kasa wall switch... no such joy, Ill need to sign up to get the wall switch to work. Come on Kasa! Your mileage may vary

Great smart plug. I use mine for a grow light, which I have turn on and off at set times. Consider getting an in-wall smart outlet instead because they look better. I debated between the two for a while but ultimately chose this because I wanted to be able move the plug around the house.

Love this!! Bought 2 Echo Dots at Christmas and was offered a package deal with one of them that included this plug. Got it for my daughter. Her lamp is on the far side of the bedroom and it’s so difficult fumbling in the dark to get to it. She plugged her lamp into this plug and now, when we’re near the door, we just ask Echo to turn on or off the light for us. Wish I had more!! Setup was so easy. Best product to buy if you have Alexa products!

I was a little bummed by the complexity of the setup. Definitely not doable for someone just getting an Alexa (which what it was bundled with). At first, I had some trouble with the distance to the router and having to download another app ) the Kasa app) to setup. However, once up and running it works flawless. You can either speak to Alexa and have the outlet go on/off or control it via the app. The nice part with the app is it boots right to the screen that allows you to turn the outlet on or off. So, there is no digging through screen to turn on a light, etc.

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.
