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

Outrageously easy to setup and use. Full disclosure: I dont have it it integrated with Alexa or any other smart ecosystem device - just controlling the individual plugs from the Kasa app. If more needed in the future, will absolutely buy again.

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.

These were really easy to set up and work great! Even my Amazon echo dots detected them and connected easily. The only thing stopping me from giving them 5 stars is that you cant schedule a group of outlets in the app. You have to schedule each outlet individually within the group... annoying and somewhat defeats the purpose of having a group.

I kinda hate that phrase but in this case its true. These are cheap and they come with the problems of cheap tech. First of all, I havent connected these to Alexa because... well... no Alexa devices (nor do we want any, shes creepy). So I assume it works well with Alexa, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do have it set up with HomeKit via HomeBridge. This is a home-server kinda deal and takes a bit of technical knowledge to setup but if youre careful following HomeBridges instructions, it shouldnt be difficult for the average person whose buying smart kit. I do have these on a metered, packet-inspected, IoT network and they phone home about as much as youd expect though dont seem to send any more info that is absolutely necessary. I did end up completely blocking them from the internet and route external functions through Home Assistant (a tool like HomeBridge that works along side it to give you great access to non-HomeKit devices as well as IFTTT-like automation). The real drawback on these is that they randomly disconnect from the wifi and dont pick it back up until you physically unplug and replug them. Ive tried just about everything i can think of (and, not to toot my own horn too much, Im an IT Pro and a huge nerd, so Ive covered the feasible options pretty well) to little success. Basically, using these is accepting that you will need to unplug and replug them at least once a month. They do have a little orange disconnected light, so at least its easy to tell when theyve errored out. I have found that running an AI managed network for them helps. Being able to dynamically switch channels, IPs, etc., when they start behaving oddly can maintain functionality longer than even an out-of-the-box unsecured wifi (I got desperate during testing). As for the App it comes with its... not terrible. Setting up a new plug only takes a few minutes and its pretty responsive after that. The App is, however, fugly and generally feels like its an afterthought. Which doesnt inspire trust. I used it pretty much only to set the plugs up then played with it just long enough to realize it sucks. Youll need the app, but if youre going to rely on it rather than using Alexa (probably) or HomeKit youre going ot have a bad time. In the end, theyre cheap, but you need to have the tech skills to compensate for that.

These work great. I used them when we are traveling, so I can turn lights on and off while we are gone. Nice to be able to do that when I am hundreds of miles away!

I like TP Link products, I was able to set up all 3 plugs in 10 minutes. bot some other brand wifi plug and had to return them because I could not connect them. Bot TP link router 5 years ago and still going strong. if I knew TP Link has wifi plug, I would have bot them in the first place, not sure why they brand it as Kasa

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 bought two of these recently. They integrate nicely with the Kasa camera system. When the camera detects someone the switches will turn the lights on.the app that is used to control the system is great, allowing easy integration of the devices into an easy to use security system.

3 working units for a couple months now. No hardware issues, or problems connecting them to network and existing hub. Issue is the iOS apps user interface. Not intuitive and poor layout. Takes way too long to setup a schedule.

I normally don’t write reviews but you need to know about this! I always second guess if I unplugged items after leaving home, I have made myself late because I was convinced I left something plugged in that was going to burn the house down, I drive my husband insane second guessing and turning around “just to be sure.” We live pretty remote so until about a year ago we were unable to get internet. I kept seeing Wi-Fi controlled outlets and debated for months and now that I have them it is SO worth it. I can check an outlet from my phone and be confident that it is off even if I left something like a hair straightener plugged in! It has a light on the outlet so you can see when it is off/on, the app is easy to use and has icon options for outlets. This is a game changer for me! No more turning around and no more worrying! It is reassuring when I can look at my phone from 40 miles away and know my home is safe. For reference, I had a timed outlet for a long time before we had WiFi and I will worried that I had accidentally set the timer to “on” rather than 1 hour (no minutes option) so if you have a similar situation I’m here to tell you to order these outlets and go enjoy your life without worrying all the time!
