> 24 hourI have been using the Kasa line of products now for almost 3 years. I needed a controllable power outlet to keep my son from turning on his TV after he is supposed to be in bed asleep. This works perfect. I simply shut the power off, verified the power was off, then took out the old outlet and put this one in its place. The only negative I can say is you have to use the supplied outlet cover as this one does not have a place to screw into. After the install was done I turned the power on, opened the app, and added this to my Kasa devices. From there it was easy to setup and control the outlet so now no more after hours TV watching.

> 24 hourThey work great, but sometimes theyre a bit glitchy and wont turn on/off when pressed. All in all theyre great to have, the KASA app works mostly ok, their latest redesign was odd and made all my devices disappear but after a few reboots they came back.... It still needs work but works mostly ok

> 24 hourIt is nothing major. The only negative things I would say is that the switch doesnt a tactile feedback when switching on and off which I expected to feel. Another thing is I would make installation videos explaining what goes where for people who arent highly profiicient electicians.

> 24 hourWe built a new home (3100 sq ft) and every switch in the house is Kasa and we have absolutely no regrets. In our previous home we used a few z-wave switches and paired them to a wink hub. This overall was pretty good but it wasnt good enough that I wanted to do the whole new house in them so I went looking for another solution/path. I ordered a few different switches. paired them up with our google home and ultimately ended up with Kasa as our choice and ordered 70+ switches (this included some dimmers, some not, as well as their 3 way kits). We got them all installed, paired up and just like in my previous test, every last one of them worked flawless. Below are a list of positives: -- DIMMER SETTING - The dimmers have a awesome feature where you can set the lowest level of dimming so that if your bulbs pulsate or anything you can get rid of that. -- Operation speed - no matter if controlling via the actuall switch or throug google home the speed is instantaneous. This is one things that blew my mind as our previous z-wave/wink hub combo would often take a few trys and/or take a second to actually turn on. -- The Kasa App - There are a few other products in our home that are not TP-Link brand and while they work fine, the applications that you have to configure the device in and/or the application that you pair up with Google Home seem like an afterthought. The Kasa app is a solid piece of software that literally has worked flawlessly as we paired all of our switches. The Negatives (dont let these sway you to not buy but...) -- the size of the switch. If you have a ton of wires and or a super shallow box in the wall it may not work or you may have problems pushing it in. I noted the size of the switches to the builder but it unfortunately didnt make it to our electrician and they used standard sized boxes. The switches all ultimately fit but some of them took some work. (BTW.. this is a universal problem amongst all smart switches. -- REALLY NIT PICKY --the switches come with a beautiful screwless plate however if you have a multi gang box (multiple switches in the same box) then you will need to find another plate. We tried a few screwless designs and ultimately stuck with these plates but the switches dont fit perfectly flush with these plates. This is especially true if you have dimmer/non dimmer/3 way switches in the same box as all of those switches seem to have different thickness backing plates on the switch. Overall, these are awesome, work great and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

> 24 hourLove that these substitute the plugs since you dont have an unsightly and obstructive block connected to the plug and you are free to connect whatever would fit a regular outlet. Word of advice is to first make sure the electric box isnt very cramped because they are wide in the back and wont leave much room for the cables. My main problem with them is they dont have a great signal. If the 2.4ghz antenna is not close by, it will be a nightmare to manage them since they will constantly disconnect from the app. Just make sure you either have a close by router, AP or repeater. Also bummer they dont support 5ghz
