KMC Smart Tap 2-Pack, 4-Outlet Smart Plug WiFi Outlet Wall Tap, Energy Monitoring, Works with Alexa and Google Home, Remote Control Your Devices from Anywhere, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, White

This is a decent smart plug pack for the money. I have opened up the plugs and the quality inside is not the best, so I would not use these for Watt heavy equipment as this can melt. But it works great with stuff that draws less current, I would not use this to automate a space heater. The best selling point for me was the ability to flash Tasmota into this unit so I can use it with my Smartthings ecosystem. The integration was good and it showed up in my Smartthings. It also works with the Smart Life app if you dont have the Smartthings ecosystem. One thing to mention is these are not individually metered/ The first plug is the only one that will show metered and it basically sums up the usage of all 3 plugs. Also, the 4th plug is not controllable, its an always-on plug. I did notice that sometimes the unit loses its connection, and I have to unplug and plug it back in to connect to the wifi. But this has happened only a handful of times.

I originally had high hope for this product. I received two units pack. One unit was not working out of the box. The instruction is not clear and the software did not correspond to the right product. I thought something went wrong with the software instead and spent hours doing trouble shooting. The other unit worked but was very hot when using. I dont know whether I am saving energy or waste energy at this point. Anyway I went ahead and asked for a replacement thinking it is just bad luck. What I got was a used unit and there was only one unit inside even with the label saying two unit pack. Now there is no option for replacement anymore but only refund from Amazon site. Very disappointing.

Plugged my power strip into the always on, my IKEA paper lamp into one of the others. It has worked flawlessly and sure beats the remote and bulky units I used to have. So I bought the KMC Smart Plugs, and theyre excellent, too. All right together in my KMC Smart app.

At first it appears to be a great buy as you get 3 switched plugs and energy monitoring. However once you have them for awhile you quickly realize they were a waste of money. I bought the 2 pack and both will randomly switch all plugs off for no reason. I had them hooked up to some important IT gear for energy monitoring and would frequently be alerted by the alarms of our battery backups and lo and behold the plugs turned them selves off.

The good is that it helped with monitoring electric usage for gauging power requirements that I needed. So it achieved what I got it for. The app was easy to use. However, the bad part is when you lose power, this defaults to OFF, and the only way to turn it ON is to hit the power button, which is a pain when it is tucked behind a server rack. I ended up removing it once I no longer needed to gauge the power usage.

Not very easy set up, and not so great at Alexa integration, it turns out Ill just be using them as a power strip

I got this plugs on a sale for $ 16.14 a pack, this means $8.07 per plug. Initial impressions, construction looks good, this seems to be made by KMC and not a rebrand as it regular with all todays procuts as the brand is stamped on the product and not a label. The internal looks of good design and contructions, i got this to be used on my server rack so i can turn off/on individual products in case i need to restart them , like a server or switch. My initial problem was with the claim that After a power outage, outlets will retain their most recent setting to save energy. this is currently not true with the current firmware version, i tried diferent ways and would not work this way so it will not serve my purpuse unless i put tasmota on it. You can control each individual plug on the top row, and the one on the bottom is always on as indicated. I flashed this with tuya-convert and after that i programed the relays to retain memory and stay on the last state. One aded value of this plug is that it has total power monitoring, you can measure the total consumption of all the switches and this is good if you want to monitor your devices or appliances. Another good thing is the little plastic plug on the back that is supposed to align on a US 2 outlet receptacle for added stability, however you may need to remove this if you are going to plug this into any other place like the output of a UPS like in my case. Overall, this is a great value, im taking half a star because of the claim that the relays stay on the last state, this may be corrected on a future firmware upgrade, however this is common for smart devices with a few exceptions.

These are about average compared to other similar outlets. I flash them with Tasmota and that went well. No complaints here, they seem to be working fine. Cost was very good for a two-pack when I bought them. if I HAD to pick a downside, it would be that there isnt a screw to install it permanently into the outlet.

These randomly shut off, there doesnt appear to be a rhyme or reason to it. Otherwise theyd be great. So unfortunately you cant use them on anything where random shut offs are an issue, which is many things. Im pretty disappointed because I bought many at first thinking they were a great value, but not a great value if I have to replace them with something else.

I run a small 3d print farm. I have 3 printers each hooked to the 2 I have. I use them in case theres a problem with on of the printers & I can shutdown the individual outlet for that printer remotely.
