> 3 dayThis is an excellent power strip. Each plug works. The connection to google/alexa is poor. Approximately once a week each plug on the device goes offline. The workaround seems to be to reset the internet, and then reset each individual outlet, and then reconnect to google. Google says its on kasaa, kasaa says its on Google. I love our dystopian future.

> 3 dayI really like this smart plug, but I can’t use it in all the areas at my place, the cord is so short! It just doesn’t work for me.

An Honest Reviewer
15-11-2024I ordered this again for another part of my home because the first one is awesome. Upon receiving this one today, I noticed it sounds a little cheaper than the first one and it looks different as well. They both say theyre HS300s but theyre clearly different models, but are similar in the way of the same amount of plugs, the wifi/alexa integration, etc. This new one actually looks like the picture, so the first one may be a different model. The new one has a flip switch thats a little sunken into the frame and has 3 LEDs Sys, Grounded and Protected. The first one has a circle for a power button and 2 LEDs. They both have 3 USB ports and 6 power ports. This second one, I appear to not be able to rename the ports in Kasa as I was for my first one. Hopefully this one works as well as the first one I bought.

> 3 dayreally like this power strip - this is the third one ive gotten for the apartment. I use it with google home to control lots of things by voice/app. bought the first one for the living room to use with the lights. appreciate the usb ports to have phone chargers threaded through to the couch. liked it enough that we bought a second one for the dining room. appreciate it both for the convenience and for power saving. especially helpful bc our house is older and doesnt have a ton of outlets.

The Truth
> 3 dayI love, love, LOVE this Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip. Im one who tends too keep their mobile phone plugged up into the charger anytime Im home. Studies prove that doing this leads too the battery loosing the ability to hold a full charge in a shortened period of time. So Ive purchased this power strip specifically for my home office, and have attached several important items too each of the six plugs. 1. Charging plug for my iPhone 8. 2. Cordless Panasonic Link to Cell handset. 3. Paper Shredder. 4. Portable Bluetooth speaker. 5. Electric Bug Zapper. 6. Charging plug for my Logitec H600 Headset. Configured everything very easily using the Kasa app for iOS. Assigned an appropriate name for each device plugged into a designated smart outlet on the strip (Outlet 1 - 6.) 1. iPhone 2. 2nd phone (Already have cordless phone 1 plugged up in living room) 3. Shredder 4. Bluetooth Speaker 5. Zapper 6. Headset Next I linked my TP-Link Kasa account after activating the Kasa Alexa skill on Amazon.com. Did this so I could turn On/Off each individual plug/device using Alexa and the many Echo dots/plus/Studio devices I have positioned all over the house. Then I proceeded too set daily on/off schedules for when I wanted devices like my iPhone, 2nd phone and headset too be recharged during the day/night. This was so easy to do using the Kasa app installed on my iPhone. Thats it. Nothing else needed too be done. Now I have a system in place that keeps my portable devices fully charged whenever I use them (Without compromising battery life.) I can also say Alexa, Turn on Zapper when Im covertly bitten by a blood thirsty mosquito. Love catching the little buggers off guard and hearing that beautiful Pop sound when they land on it. Then I say Alexa, Turn Zapper Off once their gone! I owe it all too this Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip. Have now made my entire automated home system centered around Kasa Smart Plugs.

19-11-2024Kristine Mae Butalon in Customer Service is the best! I had trouble adding a device to my Kasa app and she was very helpful. In the end we were able to successfully add my hs300 smart strip to my existing app. Very happy with the quality of the product as well the customer service provided by TP-link support.

> 3 dayI was looking for a power strip that had individual switchable outlets for a particular project. This one has that plus can be globally switched also. I didnt pay attention to the power use measurement, that is a cool addition that I might use. My biggest challenge was I couldnt use any of the Google/Samsung/Apple integrations because of what I wanted to do with the scheduling. I needed to use one of the open source suites. I found that very easy, TP-Link has integrations for all the major home automation software. I tested it with - openhab (the one I choose to use) - home assistant they both worked very easily. I scheduled what I needed: once per month on for 12 hours and then off until the next month. Most automation suites are based on 7 day repeating schedules. The annoying thing is you have to use the Kasa software on your phone to do initial setup of the device and for some devices (this one included) you are mandated to create a logon. I wish that was easier because I have no intention of using the software at all for automation.
