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

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.

Easy set up, mostly reliable. Doesnt like to stay connected to Google, so I have to set it up again every few weeks.

Works great with Google Home devices

Easy set up and works great. I recommend!

I got these about a year ago and only tried to set them up now. These plugs have a minor weird caveat. They may come shipped with outdated firmware - at least if you get one from last year. Because of this, you will have problems connecting these to your network. These smartplugs require your 2.4 Ghz band of your router, which all routers have. Additionally, the big caveat to these HS103s is that they require you to TEMPORARILY turn on WPA Personal. WPA Personal is no longer recommended for use in home networks because theyre easy to break into, just like WEP is. WPA2 is considered the bare minimum nowadays for security. However, these plugs, for whatever reason, cant connect to a WPA2 or higher network, even the app tells you not to set it to WPA3 (which some newer routers support). You will have to set your 2.4 Ghz network security to WPA Personal (or WPA-1) and the algorithm to TKIP/AES. If you do this, the plugs will connect fine. And luckily, once you get these plugs added to your network account, they will immediately start downloading the latest firmware. The update process takes less than a minute each plug, and after the firmware update they will have 100% compatibility with your WPA2 network. Its best if you bought a 2 or 4 pack of these to set them up all at once so you can get the firmware on them updated and youll only have to set your network to WPA-1 ONCE. After the firmware is updated you can always reset the settings for future use since its the firmware thats the most important part of these plugs. The HS105s you can buy here or at Best Buy already come with the necessary firmware and are capable of handling 15 Amps. The HS103s look practically the same as the HS105s (slightly smaller) but can only handle 10 Amps. However there are slightly cheaper EP10s floating around that can handle 15 Amps as well and look almost the same as the 103 and 105 and can be bought in a 4 pack for much cheaper. Keep an eye on the models you can buy - there are several different ones that have very similar features. The lower amp models are cheaper and are generally handy for simple things like desk fans, lights, etc. but if youre using these to power something that uses more amps, you may want to look for the models that support higher amperage. The featureset of all these different yet similar looking models are exactly the same. The Kasa app is really well made, great and clean interface and easy to navigate.

These were easy to set up and connect to alexa. Now we just say Alexa let there be light and the lamps in our living room come on. Then we say Alexa goodnight, and off they go. We also can turn them on and off individually by saying the magic word weve set up for them. We are not the most tech savvy people, so if we can do this.....anyone can.

good produce.

Heres an unconventional use of this product that can save you a few bucks: my hot water recirculation pumps built-in mechanical timer broke. Maybe it could be repaired, but for a few bucks this smart plug works even better. The pump is turned to always on, and I set a schedule in the Kasa app so it only runs exactly when needed. Also if Im off my usual schedule, I can turn on the pump from the app and set a timer for it to turn off automatically in 10 minutes. If youre buying a hot water recirculation pump, you can buy a model with a timer, or save ~$50 buying a model without a timer and use this smart plug which works better for less.
