Kasa Smart Plug by TP-Link, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control, 15 Amp, UL Certified, 1-Pack(HS103) , WHITE

Its very easy to set up with the Kasa app and works great with Alexa/Echo. Its not expensive and can add a bit of home automation. I bought two of these small plugs for our TVs and an outdoor one for our inflatable pool. It does add some bulk to the plug so make sure you make room for that. The plug goes straight in. Here is a picture of the TV plugged into the Kasa Plug, then into our surge protector behind our media cabinet.

i 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.

I have a sealed crawlspace under the house, in which I run a dehumidifier. It isnt necessary to run it more than a few hours a day, but gong underneath twice a day isnt an option. With this, I have full control of the power to the unit. I have a schedule set, so that I dont have to worry about it. Range is surprisingly good: through the floor and down the house a ways to the router. Wasnt expecting it to reach. Very happy.

As my home gets smarter I am glad that I got smarter and now purchase only devices that are very smart! No need for a hub to attach to the system. It works excellentlly with Alexa. All my plugs are easily listed in the app which controls them all. Naming them was simple as was getting everything connected. Ive been pleased with the Wyze family and I find their stuff works!

The plug came in a little carton box with no instructions on how to set it up. I think they should add a QR code on the outside or inside of the box to make the installation of the app easier. You need to download the Kasa Smart app by TP-LINK Research America and create an account. The app is very easy to use and it made it very easy to add the smart plug to the account. I like that the app lets you setup a timer, a schedule and an away schedule. It doesn’t have the option to track how much electricity it has used, but it keeps track of how long the plug has been on. After setting up the smart plug, Alexa recognized the smart plug right away after turning on the TP-LINK Kasa skill. So far, it has worked really well. Besides not having instructions in the box, I don’t like that it makes a loud click when you turn it on or off. I don’t see any sparks coming out of it, but the sound makes me feel like it’s going to stop working if I use it frequently.

We have had some garage break-ins in our area and someone recommended I get one of these for my garage. Using the app on my phone lets me set the timer. Now I don’t have to worry about anyone using a garage door opener to get in. Great product.

I have been looking for a replacement outlet to replace the previous one I had that wasnt working with my new Samsung SmartThings set up. I did a little research and found out that this one synchronizes with the Kasa app, so I decided to give it a try it worked perfectly right out of the box. I paired it up and was good to go. I also love the fact that it has a light on the side to let you know if it is on or not and the switch nice as well. If this was helpful or you like my review, please click Helpful Many Thanks!

Spent 40 minutes trying to get the plug connected via the Kasa iOS app. No luck. Was about ready to return the thing. Finally tried setup via my Fire HD with the Kasa Android app and it finally worked first try. Plug works as intended now. It has an audible click when turning on and off. The click is much louder than my Wyze plugs. It works, but I probably won’t be buying anymore of these. I prefer the wyze plugs, but needed this one specifically for an Octoprint plugin to turn the printer off after the print job finishes.

We have 7 of the KASA Smart HS103 WiFi outlets and all are in use. They are high quality, high tech devices that make setting up your home so very simple and easy. You are able to manage from your phone or Alexa any device that is accepted to work with the outlet. Programming is simple and allows easy and complete control of all the outlets. Buy it and prove me wrong:)

I use these plugs with Google assistant for a variety of lights and devices around the home. Of course, I have a couple of lights on them, but also a laptop and other devices. Either the TP-Link Kasa software or Google Assistant (with a Routine) can be used to set up scheduled on/off. This is not only great for lights, but if you have a laptop or other battery powered device, leaving it attached to a plugged in charger for long periods can reduce battery life over time. With these plugs I charge my laptop for a 90 minutes a few times a week, which should preserve the battery over the long term. The other thing to consider with smart devices is that youll have to have an account not only with Google or Alexa, but also with the device manufacturer (e.g., TP-Link), so its a good idea to pick a few brands of devices and stick to them (e.g., TP-Link smart plugs, Feit Electric smart bulbs in my house.) These often go on sale, so pick up a 2 or 4 pack if you can use them for things like holiday lights, too! The primary drawback -- common to virtually all of these -- is that it only works with a 2.4 gHz band Wifi. Since the 5 gHz band is faster and generally less crowded, it would be nice if they upgraded these for both wifi bands.
