Kasa Smart Plug HS103P2, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control,15 Amp,UL Certified, 2-Pack White

Works as advertised, easy to set up

First off, I am just getting into smart home devices so naturally I am a newbie. I have an Ecobee Smart Thermostat with Alexa so I wanted to expand my smart devices. We put up our Christmas decorations, inside and outside. I was getting sick of turning them off individually -- there were times that we forgot to turn them off so they were on all night. After some research, I stumbled upon the Kasa smart plugs which seemed like a dream come true. Comparatively, there were cheaper than the Philips Hue series and the reviews were consistently great. I took a chance and boy, I am extremely happy with these (as well as the outdoor plug). It was as simple as 1-2-3 as far as setting them up. I read a couple reviews saying the app doesnt work and sync with their plugs. Not sure what all the fuss is all about but they worked perfectly fine. Its nice that you can set up a schedule as well as a group so all devices can turn on and off depending on what device youve chosen. Its also nice to say, Alexa, turn on Christmas Decorations and all the lights turn on. Ive also set up Movie Night where the Christmas tree and some window lights turn off so there isnt glare. Overall, I am very happy with these smart plugs and I hope Kasa comes out with more products because I am happy with their products! 10/10 would recommend.

I used WeMo smartplugs originally and those would disconnect from the network once in awhile and it was a pain to get them reconnected. Got tired of that happening so I bought some of these Kasa smartplugs hoping to get away from the WeMo ones. Success! No more disconnecting and these Kasa work better and faster than the WeMo. The app also boots up much quicker to where my plugs are quickly available. Id rate the WeMo at a 6 out of 10 These Kasa I would rate at a 10 out of 10. Ive been using the Kasa for awhile...since March of this year...and have yet to have any kind of problem with them. If I do Ill edit this review

Work well with all and Google home. A little loud when engaged.

I did not like that I needed to get the Kasa App, you have to get the Kasa app then it syncs to Alexa app. If I knew this I would have purchased Paid more for the actual Alexa Plug. It works fine.

I really like this wifi plug, because it makes any non smart appliance smart, the button on side is really cool because if you lose internet you still have a way to trun on your appliance without having to unplug it, the only Im complaining about is the wifi signal, it is very strong inside the house, but as soon as I go outside, the connection is very very slow bit sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Other than that I recommend this smart plug 98%

I have used their bulbs so this Christmas I decided to give their receptacles a try. Best decision I made this year for decorations. I no longer have 4 different mechanical timers on all my Christmas lights that I could never get timed up the same. They would always be off by a few seconds - minutes. Then the kids or dogs would bump into them and either unplug them and the time would be off or touch the timer settings and now the lights would be all over the place. These are easy to set up and program. Being able to turn them on from the app anywhere is also nice. I have not used the Alexa integration yet.

I really love these plugs. I have plugged them into lamps that dont have smart bulbs and fans that dont have WiFi integration. I havent had the issue with these reconnecting to WiFi that I have read about others having. I have had the WiFi go out multiple times and every time it comes back on they automatically connect without issue. The only thing I think would make them better it to have a USB port on the side but that is just a small thing that doesnt make or break this product.

I have 2 AUKEY smart switches, which are no longer sold on Amazon. So when I needed 2 more I tried these. They set up fine & initially worked as programmed. Until, that is, we experienced a power outage, which lasted a mere 15 seconds, after which they both failed to run the schedule. They still worked remotely by manually touching the power button on my iPad. But the schedule showed “connection failure.” Both my AUKEY switches were still working fine. However since I have run into this issue with the AUKEY switches in the past with power outages, I tried unplugging both switches then plugging them back in. This fixed the problem & both were immediately back up & running. But really, this should not be happening with a brief power outage, hence I am deducting a star.

There are only certain brands that will connect to the Ohm Connect program, and KASA is one of them. It was extremely easy to integrate into our home and with Google Home. The KASA home app does need to be downloaded. The one drawback to this plug is the size. It is large. They are designed to stack if you need to use 2 of them on a single outlet, but for me, it is still very bulky in size, which is why I rated it only 4/5 stars. I have had other brands that stop working after 6-9 months of use, but my KASA plugs are still working after 3+ years, so I can recommend them on their durability.
