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)

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. :)

This item works very well. We have Lutron Caseta devices throughout the house, but their dimmers and devices are wonky with LED lights sometimes. The on-off binary nature of this TP Link device makes these devices better for things light string lights and some table lamps that use low power. Setup is easy. The only recommendation is to skip reading the paper instructions with the package and setup the device through the Alexa app right out of the box.

The product works but is probably a little bigger than it really needs to be and makes a rather audible click when changing from on to off. Greatest complaint is probably the software which for most will probably be a set and forget if your connecting it to a hub. The software looks nice but experiences tons of extremely frustrating bugs. I have 3 and 1 set up perfectly with no issues took like 30 seconds the next two though... they each took 5 to 10 minutes of just closing the app and running through the entire process again until it just magically worked.

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.

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 is one of those products that just does what its supposed to do, easily and with no fuss. It was quick and easy to set up, even as the first product I own from the company (so I had to download their iOS app before I could proceed). Everything was smooth, including getting it connected to their app and then linking their app to Alexa. Controlling the device thats plugged in via Alexa is super fast (very low latency).

Love it I have 3 for my ac window units and they are simple to use. They connect immediately and the app is very user friendly

The Kasa app is how you initially set it up. After that, you set it up in the Amazon Alexa app. Worked easily and right away. I use this plug for my book light. Every night, I say, Echo, turn on book light. Then my Echo Dot lady says Okay and turns it on. In the morning, I have a routine on my Alexa app. The Echo Dot tells me what day it is, turns on the book light, then plays some music. So the integration is fantastic.

I purchased 3 of these and I like that its easy install and integration. 1 of the 3 wasnt working but I figured this out because the others worked (so perhaps by at least an extra one and take advantage of amazon 30 day return). Though its mini, May not be as mini depending on where you need to place it. It hampers the blinds thats close to the socket from closing properly (blinds are about 1.5/2 inches in front of socket). I have not integrated with Alexa.

Used to control fans. A pain to install compared to Alexa. Trying to forget it, but If I remember right, you need a cellphone to set up a Kasa acct (Ill never need that again, had to borrow the wifes phone just for the install), and then go into Alexas acct to let her know about the new device (easy and quick). A few minutes to install? No, not always. Took me much, much longer, maybe an hour because Im cellphone illiterate. Once working, Alexa handles the switch with no issues, or it can also be easily turned off/on on the wall. A good substitute for a device without builtin remote control. I love our Alexa, her friends not so much. Without Alexa I would not have purchased this switch.
