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

Muy bueno

I tried these in my garage which is located about 100 feet from my house and the signal seemed to be ok. They worked and functioned with no issues (slight hiccup with Alexa) but I ended up returning them because I didnt like that the lighted power button is located on the side of the plug. It makes it very hard to tell if the plug is on or off unless you are standing to the side of the outlet and plug. Other than that issue they seemed pretty good.

I have bought multiple Gosund products because of lower cost, and they generally work, but I have been having problems constantly lately that they go offline when our Internet drops. Ive been using 2 of these for 3 months and they havent gone offline even once. I just configured the other 2. They just did a software upgrade. The app told me it was available and it gave me the option to apply it to a single device or all devices. I havent seen a single upgrade for the Gosund outlets in 4 years.

Works well with my Smart TV and Alexa.

I like the plug it works wonders.

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 on a whim- I wasn’t completely sure how well they would work, but a friend recommended them. When they arrived it took me about 15 minutes to set up the first one, and maybe 5 minutes for the second one. They work great. I have some lamps attached to them, and it’s nice to be able to turn them on or off like night lights. It’s also nice to be able to turn lights on from the car when I know my hands will be full when I come home. The price is very affordable, and the app is easy to use. (I only use the app- I don’t have it hooked up to Alexa or anything like that.)

I started with Belkin/Wemo years ago and although I loved the convenience, they got flaky and cost me more minutes configuring than I ever saved from their automation. The last straw was setting up my Christmas lights this year. I had one controlling outside lights and connected it to Alexa. The other day the Wemo app said it was no longer connected but oddly Alexa had no trouble turning it on and off. I reset this switch but couldnt get it to show up in the Wemo iOS app. It struggled through the blinking light phase and finally connected, let me name it and when done, it simply didnt show up. I had a box of 4 Kasa switches that I bought on sale but hadnt opened yet and decided it was time to swap out my Wemos. I had 2 Kasa switches installed, working and connected to Alexa in less than 5 minutes. Ok maybe 6 minutes. Straight forward piece of cake. Wemo switches seemed to have started out working that way in the beginning. Im not sure if they where effected by a firmware update but once they get wonky it becomes a lot of web searches and troubleshooting that eats up time and sometimes leads nowhere. The Kasa iOS app looks well done and their web site is clean with good information.

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 setup and use. Can be controlled while traveling overseas. Inexpensive. Fast response time. Will get more.
