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)

Could never have set it up myself - I am not techy. My daughter set it up and it took her quite awhile. I suggest the manufacturers make installation quite a bit easier if they expect to sell more of these in the future. I’d bought a second one but my daughtet is in no rush to open the box!!

If you are buying this to work with Alexa, you should know That you are going to have to setup a second account with Kasa that then enables you to connect it to Alexa. It also uses an old school method of requiring you to use your cell phone to use WIFI to directly connect to the device during configuration to set it up to talk with your hone WiFi network. I’m an IT guy so while this stuff comes easily to me, the setup failed several times until I restarted the device. The setup process is painfully slow compared to the Alexa devices. You might want to buy the Amazon smart plug instead. This purchase was a promo one or I would likely have purchased the Alexa plug to avoid multiple online accounts.

Though I use the Kasa smart bulbs in most areas of my home, I bought this plug to use for string lights (no on/off switch) that are on top of my upper cabinets in the kitchen. The plug for the lights is in a cabinet above the microwave, and was a pain to turn them on and off. Installed the smart plug on that outlet and now only have to ask Alexa to turn them on and off, and no longer have to get the step stool out and move things around to access the outlet in the back of the cabinet to plug them in/out. Smart anything is a great convenience in our homes, but in hard to reach areas these make so much sense. And set up is a breeze!

Bought an Amazon plug first and had all kinds of problems connecting it so returned and thought to try this cheaper one and to my surprise it works better than all of my other smart home plugs and bulbs put together. Have never had a problem with it staying connected or having to change anything. Works like a champ so much so that planning on changing out all my other smart plugs for these. Save your money on buying those overpriced name brands... sorry Amazon, this one works great for half the price.

Easy to set up, although I had to try multiple times to get it to detect and connect to my network. Unfortunate that there is no HomeKit integration. I use the widget to toggle it off and on.

They work good but you have to set everything for them in the Kasa app not the Alexa app

I have a bunch of different plugs and lights that are smart, and this one was one of the easier to connect. I still have to get the app for it but once I connected it to the plug it automatically connected to alexa. I think you have to store your wifi password for that to work, but I find the integration very simple. I am not a whiz at this stuff, I am 60 years old so not great with all this new stuff, but this to me was pretty easy. I also liked that they let you put a picture of whatever you are controlling into the app so you can look at the photo plus the text name. This was nice to identify....in case you have a bunch of outlets that might have similar names it just makes it a little easier. Thanks for reading my review Becky Brooks

I keep getting more and more of these. I use them all over my house. I use the app on my phone and Amazon Alexa to turn them on and off or schedule routines. Good quality and great price. Can’t beat them.

Brand loyalty is not typically a thing for me. I look at individual products, but in this case, I have tried these plugs, and several other smart connectors from this manufacturer, and they work so flawlessly. Pairing is beyond simple, unlike many of their competitors. There is no struggle to find the right WiFi frequency, etc. The app finds them without effort. I bought several to try out from this and other brands. The others are already back at Costco. These, I will keep, and have ordered more. Thanks for such a simple setup!

I like our herbs and spices, it’s very important to me to have my roots and spices naturally. I work out 3 to 4 times a week. I do the best to take care of Myself. It’s important that we all stay healthy. We have herbs and spices to take care of everything that’s needed for the body and for the brain also for her skin and hair. We have herbs and spices to cleanse our bodies. It’s very important to cleanse our body. I order just about every year anything from Amazon.com I ordered all my car parts interior and exterior, also engine parts.
