> 3 dayi like the easiness of turning on/ off a device using this Smart Plug. Have to follow thru the sequence on the two Apps. I now have purchased 4 Mini Plugs which had not intended to do but since with an Alexa command, it is so technical to make life better. I recommend this Seller and their Smart Plugs.

> 3 dayIve tired several of these types of devices and although most of them work fairly reliably, this one s the best Ive used. It works through an app called Kasa. This one is very responsive and turns off and on just about instantaneously when the switch in the app is tapped. Others Ive used are not nearly as responsive. This one is similar in speed to turning a light switch on and off. One minor downside is that the app doesnt yet have ability to create a schedule. A workaround is to use Alexa to create a schedule in the Alexa app. Construction seems high-quality. I have had this only a few days, so I cant speak to its long term reliability.

> 3 dayI mostly use these so my living room lamps and over cabinet lighting are on a timer. They come on in the afternoon, and turn off around the time we go to bed. The over cabinet lights are on all night to give the kitchen a subtle glow. The app is also nice. Ive used other products with buggy apps, but this is easy to use and doesnt have the bugs that the other apps have. Its reliable.

> 3 dayThis is a decent smart plug considering the price. It works, and it will connect w/Alexa. The side button for manual operation works better than a front button for applications where it might be behind a dresser, appliance, etc. The downsides, and the reasons I consider it an average product are: - Requires an app to configure. Really, the last thing I want is another app on my phone, especially to control smart devices in my house when my goal is to consolidate in Alexa or Smartthings. None of my other smart plugs require a third-party app to connect, they are simply discoverable. - Significant lag w/Alexa. I have this plug controlling an LED light strip under my kitchen cabinets and its grouped with my other kitchen lights. While every other light comes on immediately, there is always a lag of several seconds before this plug responds. More of an irritation. - Tends to start falling out of the outlet if you have something bulky plugged into it, perhaps with a transformer integrated in the plug vs an everyday plug (like for a lamp). I think this is because of its primarily horizontal orientation vs a vertical orientation like other smart plugs I have. It hasnt fallen out altogether yet, but whenever I look at it I wind up pushing it fully back in to the socket.

> 3 dayIm not a fancy user, dont have a smart home set-up, but using this Kasa plug as a timer to turn a lamp on/off, works great and allows me to change it manually if away from the home. Just what I needed. Will consider this for other appliances now.

> 3 dayI was hesitant about this after seeing some reviews, but gave it a try after I saw maintenance left my light on for hours in my apartment via my security camera. This was easy to install, works whenever i’m not home, and eases my worry about my light being left on while i’m not at work. I can’t really ask for much more...for $10 - it’s a steal.

> 3 dayI have all my holiday lights plugged into Kasa plugs. I have them programmed to go on at sunset and off at midnight. Works like a charm. I have a couple house lamps that also go on along with the holiday lights. I love these plugs, it’s nice to come home and have all my Christmas lights on to greet me.

> 3 dayI have been using the smart switch to control the light in my entertainment room for over a year now. It is working great. No complain.
