Kasa Smart Plug Mini, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa & Google Home, Wi-Fi Simple Setup, No Hub Required – A Certified for Humans Device (HS105)

This Smart Plug does everything you need it to do. I bought this for $5 on a Amazon deal. I always thought these were gimmicky items and never saw a need for one but I couldnt pass it up for the price. Used it for first time for our Christmas Tree. Its pretty convienet to just tell Alexa to turn off the lights to the Christmas Tree instead of having to get down on all fours and fumble with the hidden surge protector. I like to hide all my cables and surge protectors so they are out of sight. This allowed me to keep everything hidden. For $5 dollars its not a bum deal

They work great when they stay connected to the network. But I have 4 of these and they are constantly disconnecting from the nextwork and show as unreachable. I have to unplug them and some times that doesn’t work so I have to completely reset them and do the whole setup again. Will be looking for an alternative. Update: Total garbage. Still disconnecting every few days. Now it won’t even connect to my network at all. Would not recommend. I’ve used other smart plugs with no issue but I liked the design of these so gave them a try. These are not good. Will try the Amazon branded smart plug and see how I do with those.

I like automation. Have one on a desk light, used daily. Has a plug-in slide dimmer on a wire between it and the lamp, so it turns on on a command, and dims from a wire. Have one on my motorcycle trickle charger. I can just turn it on timer for an hour or two to top off the battery, if I feel the bike has not had enough use. I have not scheduled, but would imagine that works well, also. Used it on the Christmas tree, too. Alexa, turn on plug Tree worked great! (Go Brooklyn!) The enclosure could be a little less real-estate hungry...

Love this!! Bought 2 Echo Dots at Christmas and was offered a package deal with one of them that included this plug. Got it for my daughter. Her lamp is on the far side of the bedroom and it’s so difficult fumbling in the dark to get to it. She plugged her lamp into this plug and now, when we’re near the door, we just ask Echo to turn on or off the light for us. Wish I had more!! Setup was so easy. Best product to buy if you have Alexa products!

Its really a fairly decent product, but they are a PITA to install. Totally not really intuitive. Supposed to be easy, but clearly not designed for average people. Im guessing engineers decided what easy should look like. So vexing. Terribly bulky packaging.

The product works but is probably a little bigger than it really needs to be and makes a rather audible click when changing from on to off. Greatest complaint is probably the software which for most will probably be a set and forget if your connecting it to a hub. The software looks nice but experiences tons of extremely frustrating bugs. I have 3 and 1 set up perfectly with no issues took like 30 seconds the next two though... they each took 5 to 10 minutes of just closing the app and running through the entire process again until it just magically worked.

I bought this back in December so I could use our Google Home to turn on our Christmas tree by voice command. It was really easy to connect to our Google home and it works great! I now have our living room lamp plugged into it, and the app makes it super easy to change the name of what I want to call it.

We bought this as an addition for our 2 pack we previously bought. Set up was a little more cumbersome than I remembered but still easy. Perfect for the holiday season and our Christmas tree. We use the schedule feature to have our Christmas lights on when we arrive home. Its a little bulky and hard to hide behind large furniture once you have a plug plugged in. Close to 2-3 inches total.

I got one last Christmas and never used it, but this year I thought about buying smart bulbs for the electric candles in the windows and they were too expensive. Then I saw the one I got last year and plugged it in and set up the timer on my iPhone and it worked perfectly. So I bought one for each window on both floors of the house. Now we dont have to go up and down to turn them off each night. I also just bought 4 more for our oldest son and they love them as well.

I was able to set and use this switch without much trouble. The Android apps gives less trouble than Wemo and Google home integration works. I just wish these products were more standardized. Id prefer not to need a vendor-specific app.
