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 got these to operate LED strips in the house and use their app to create an automatic schedule. Works like a charm. Simple and effective. I highly recommend.

Over the past few years, I have started to replace bulbs with LEDs, sometimes with smart bulbs, and introduced smart plugs. I needed more to allow Xmas window decor to turn on and off on scheduled instead of having to run around and plug in/unplug them at night. I now use them for other purposes since its no longer the holidays. I love the Alexa integration. I am currently using 2 of the 4 that came in this set for a decorative lamp atop a bookcase and a bankers-style lamp on top of a desk. For the timers, I set it and forget it but also with Alexa integration, all I have to do is say, Alexa, turn Bookcase on (or off) or Alexa, turn Desk on (or off). Great plugs and they stay connected to my wifi without fail. Highly recommend these.

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

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.

These work fine. The Kasa light bulbs I got didnt connect.

Lo utilice para controlar un abanico y me funciona a la perfección, fácil de configurar

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!

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

I am beyond thrilled to have finally figured out how to integrate motion detection with the smart plugs so that certain smart plugs (where i have plugged in lamps), go off only with motion detection during certain hours. So first off, get the indoor Kasa cams too. They are inexpensive, and place them where you want motion detection. I was lucky bc we already had indoor Kasa cams all over our home. Next set up your smart plugs normal set up(go through the Kasa set up to add the device to your app). This is where it starts to get tricky but I promise once you do it once, you will find it SO EASY!! I am so excited to share this bc even when I asked Kasa support they didnt know the exact steps. First you are going to set up the ACTION you want triggered (you will set up the hours you want this to happen between later). 1. Go to Smart Action tab. --> When-->Trigger Device-->choose camera of your liking.---> Then ---> Control Smart Device --->choose your smart plug of your liking.--> Label it Motion Front Entry or something like that. Save. NOW we are going to set up during WHAT TIMES we want this motion detection to happen. For ex you likely only want a lamp to go off during nighttime hours, such as after sunset till 11pm. You can even offset your sunrise and sunset times such as before sunset 10 mins, or after sunrise plus 30 min. 1. Go to Smart Action tab--->When--->Trigger Time-->choose time you want your motion detection to start.-->Then--->Enable Smart Action--->pick the Motion Front Entry or whatever smart action you made for the motion detection. Hit Save. Now do this last step again but instead of Enable Smart Action you will choose Disable Smart Action at your specified Trigger time. You can even set up different times of day. For ex I have motion detection during early morning hours AND PM hours. I love this system so much. If you dont want motion detection just set up normal schedule like whatever days of week to turn on and off certain time too. I did this with our outdoor light switches for example.

The product worked great for a wide variety of audiences. It integrates with Google Home/Assistant nicely, in addition to the native Kasa app. Theres also a pretty active community supporting the development of 3rd party integrations such as python and command line interfaces. After 8 months or so, one of my plug started to malfunction and couldnt be turned off. Despite the 1-year warranty claim, TP-Link actually asked the customer to pay of the cost of shipping the defective product back to them. That makes very little sense and basically renders the warranty claim useless. Update: After contacting customer support, I was offered a free shipping label.
