> 3 dayI cringe every time I have to deal with anything related to technology, and for good reason. Normally “easily installed “ relates to hours of frustration and a return of the item. If you want to be able to control lights, TV, heater, etc., get this plug. It installed in minutes and it works seamlessly with my Alexa. This is my third mini plug and I’ll continue purchasing them for all my Alexa remote uses. Thank you Kasa, I’m a very satisfied customer.

> 3 dayThese are my fav smart plugs. They have always worked and have never given me a single issue. Can use it for a fan or can use it for a lamp and go into the Alexa app and change the type setting from a plug to a light, which will allow you to control the plug as a light in your Alexa-enabled group-Alexa, turn on the lights. Highly recommend these plugs from TP-Link.

> 3 dayIt took forever for the app to work for me. Once I finally got it to work,though, I love how I can turn on & off lights from my bed & schedule it to randomly turn on lights when Im out of town. I bought another so I can also have a radio playing when Im gone but am still trying to get this one set up!

> 3 dayReading everyone else’s ups and downs really helped me set up my plug as a timer. Plus, since the app interface isn’t super user friendly a few days into its use it really clicked for me how to use as a timer. Must set up 2 entries stipulating turn on time, then 2nd to turn off time. All good once that was established!!

> 3 dayThis product works fine. Be aware, though that you will need to set up an app to run the devices and, after putting a dozen devices on this system, I needed to change my email address. THIS CANNOT BE DONE. Kasa said to delete my account, make a new account, and install the devices on the new one. Who has 100 hours to do that? UGH!

> 3 dayNo more fighting who has to get out of bed to flip the light switch.... Alexa turn off the light No more having to reach back in the awkward corner to plug in the Christmas Tree... Alexa turn on/off the Christmas Tree No more having to run upstairs to plug in the Christmas lights on the hand rail... Alexa turn on/off the Christmas lights No more having to toggle the light switch hidden behind the door in my office... Alexa turn on/off the office light Alexa app could be a little smarter. You can set up a group in Kasa (such as Christmas) but the app isnt smart enough to recognize the group Alexa turn on/off Christmas to turn on/off the group. (This is available in the Kasa phone app)

> 3 daySets up easily and works great when working directly with it. The Alexa integration is USUALLY great. But if it’s in an Alexa Group that has a dimmer, it’ll sometimes turn on when you tell it to or sometimes require you to tell it to set the group to 100. It might be this device or it might be Alexa. I haven’t figured that out yet. Still a great product

> 3 dayLove it. Works like 99% well. Very rarely i gotta unplug it and replyg it in to reset it due to it not being responcive to alexa. Its so rare tho its not exactly a deal breaker. I wouldnt trade it.

> 3 dayI was a little bummed by the complexity of the setup. Definitely not doable for someone just getting an Alexa (which what it was bundled with). At first, I had some trouble with the distance to the router and having to download another app ) the Kasa app) to setup. However, once up and running it works flawless. You can either speak to Alexa and have the outlet go on/off or control it via the app. The nice part with the app is it boots right to the screen that allows you to turn the outlet on or off. So, there is no digging through screen to turn on a light, etc.
