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

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.

The product does what it says. It turns on or off if you click a button in the app. The app also allows scheduling. But the app does not seem to allow good control of the device (e.g., turn the socket on if a smart bulb installed on the same app is on), which to me is the main point of having a smart device. Since the device does not work with at least one other platform that allows this kind of smart programming (Smart Life app, that Ive been testing), I find its use case very poor in comparison with the competition. And it does not measure power consumption, another big minus. I saw good reviews of this product, including in the Wirecutter, but the limitations of the app are not clear from the product information webpage, so I returned this.

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

The plugs work great and I like how I can control the from my google home app and set timers and stuff. This is the only thing in my house that is not SmartThings compatible unfortunately so I will have to replace it with the Hue smart plugs. Would give 5 stars if it worked with SmartThings

The product works just fine. I hook it up to my Alexa around the house. The only problem is with Kasa trying to change your email in the account poorly designed app for that but the product works great.

Easy to set up. You can either use them from the product app or through an Alexa. Really convenient!

Works as advertised, easy to set up

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!

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.
