Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, UL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4-Pack(EP10P4) , White

I have a few of these now and I couldnt be happier with them. They are small and take up just one space on a two connection outlet so I can still plug in something else with no problem. The Kasa App is easy to use too and I have no complaints with it. In the App tap on the device to open it and then I can see the power usage now and over time, run time, schedule on and off times for the plug and then a settings gear where I can change the name of the plug and add my own picture from my camera roll or from the camera itself. It also has device information. It has a grouping feature that I have never played with. One thing to note on setup. When setting up a new plug it asks you to connect to the device WiFi in the the phone settings. On the iPhone, after the device connects, I get a popup at the top of the screen that says Im connected and if I tap on this popup to go back to the App it has always failed to connect to my network after that and I dont know why. The way I have success is after I connect to the device I exit settings and open the Kasa App again and continue from there. I have always had success with connecting to my home network this way as I continue setup of the plug. For me Im using these inside the house to control night lights on a timer and an away light for security while we arent home. I have one plug that amazingly can connect to my WiFi about 200 feet away at my garage to control a security light mounted on the outside. I also have three plugs in a little solar shed about 60 feet away from the house that are on all the time to tell me how much power my solar panels are producing. This is why I like these plugs so much. They just work and work well.

es muy practico y funciona muy bien, me encanta como se enciende y se apaga hasta atraves del celular

works well , some times it says it’s offline in google home , just have to ask google to sync devices and it’s fine

I bought these to avoid wasteful and expensive hubs and light bulbs. Im using it for various lamps and integrated with Alexa for voice commands and the Kasa app for cellphone control. Its relatively easy to set up although if you turn off the wifi on your phone its not usable by voice or app but still has side buttons you can use on the plug. Although it sometimes goes offline I found it easy to reset simply by swiping off and on the Kasa app. The design is nice since its rectangular, allowing you to use the other free plug. I love it for turning off and on lamps as I go up and downstairs. It was also great for my Christmas tree lights. Ability to group plugs is a nice feature.

What a game changer! Light timers simplified, easy to use app, no noisy grinding timer noise. Lights can be turned on and off without messing up timer schedule. You need these in your home!

Great choice for remotely controlling devices. Reliable, stable connection to internet. Good app.

Short review: For a 15A relay, these are a good price. They connected immediately, they respond quickly, and when I set them up in Home Assistant I didnt have too much of a fuss pulling in the integration. ------------ Note, I got the ones that are just a switch. No energy sensors. Just a solid, beefy relay in a smart plug. And by beefy, most at this price point, with this form factor that doesnt block the second wall plug, are 10A. I never intend to stress it to the full 15A, but theres peace of mind in being well under the rated load factor. To add them you need the Kasa app. Id prefer not to have them ever phone home to the internets, but unless I go with Tasmota I have no choice. All of these smart plugs will require something similar. First, you plug them in and theyll have a Wifi server available. You connect to it, then choose the router youll use, then you connect to the router youll use and itll pull the plug into the network. Its a little convoluted, going back and forth between the android settings and the app, but the app guides you reasonably. Once joined, adding it to Home Assistant is a matter of pulling in the integration. Itll auto detect and find all of the smart plugs that are powered. I suggest you plug them all in before having HA find them, though, I bought four plugs and only had three running when I grabbed the integration. The running plugs all got their names, as assigned during the setup in the Kasa app, but the one that wasnt plugged in got the stock name TP-LINK_Smart Plug_AE13 EP10(US) instead of the one Id given it. Not complaining too much, HA is sometimes quirky that way, but all four switch when called and thats what matters. Likewise, I tried some Kasa Smart bulbs and spent hours trying to get them to connect before sending them back to Amazon. These inexpensive smart plugs were all four set up 20 minutes after I grabbed the package from my doorstep. So, for the price, they are worth the stars.

Easy to install and works well.

It works perfectly No complains

My previous switches were of the Toya/Smart Life app type and their automation is quite good. I switched to this brand because it had higher ratings, but I immediately regretted the decision. About the only thing good about this plug is that it was easy to set up. While I did have to create an account and jump through numerous check-the-box check-your-email hoops, once it was installed, I was able to quickly pair the plug to the app with no interaction with the plug itself. (With the Tuya app, you have to hold down the power button to put the plug into sync mode.) Sure, thats great. Its easy to set up. But thats where the happy ends. This plug is only able to turn on and off by schedule, work with a few 3rd party apps, turn off or on with a timer STARTED FROM THE APP ONLY, and... thats about it. With the Smart Life app, you can set the switch up to act as an auto-off timer. Click the button, and power will be applied for however long you specify, then auto-shutoff. To me, if being able to use a device with Google Home or Alex is the #1 reason, the #2 reason to have a smart plug is to turn something on for a while, walk away, and have it turn off automatically to save energy. And the Kasa plugs cannot do this. I honestly cant understand why this device is rated as highly as it is, except that its easy to set up. Beyond that... the app is very bad. If you can stand to hold down the power button on a Tuya plug for 5 seconds while pairing then its the far superior solution.
