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)

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.

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 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.

Reading 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!!

I have quite few Kasa devices around the house as well as some other brands. I like Kasa because they seem to be reliable. I dont seem to have the connection issues Ive had with other brands. I like that I can just give it a name and then tell Alexa to control it by name. It makes it easy to set things up for my wife in a way that she will remember and actually use and lets her replace all the old style rotary timers she was always asking me to tweak. Plus we have enough of them around the house these days that its easy to make the house look occupied when we are away. I like this particular model as its smaller than some of the earlier Kasa outlets I have but other than that thery all work pretty much that same and thats been pretty good for me so Ill probably be back if and when I need more.

I have the KASA TP-100 in-wall, wired smart outlets which work great. But these work just as well, are cheaper and can be moved without having to unwire and rewire an actual outlet. I thought I wouldnt like how it isnt part of the outlet and you can tell 2 things are plugged in.. But I was wrong.. I would have bought 10 of these and not any smart wired outlets if I could do it over again. I use this with our 2nd Christmas tree that sits upstairs in front of a window. We never go upstairs so this was so easy to just plug it in and set a schedule to turn the Christmas tree lights on and off at night.

I’m always a little hesitant when it comes to brands that I’m unfamiliar with, but I decided to give these a try. To be honest, I have zero complaints. They integrate easily with my already established smart home, they’re a breeze to set up, and, because they work with Alexa, I’m able to add them to routines that I’ve already created. Plus, at a much lower price point than the Amazon brand ones, you can’t beat it.

Easy to setup. Only caveat is we have to have a common account for two of us to control the outlet. Unless I’m missing something on how to share this device with others in the household. Replaced a difficult to use manual timer. If this continues to be solid, I will order more.

This smart plug is a great way to enhance your home without complicated or expensive installation of switches or a hub. It uses the kasa app (downloadable to your phone) and can respond to google (and alexa, but I have not tested her) to actuate your outlets. We used it for our Christmas tree since the outlet was buried behind gifts and decorations. The set-up was easy and they seem to work well. You can also program them to turn an outlet on and off at scheduled times.

Attached my lights so Alexa can turn them on when asked to. Or you can program when you’d like to turn on what’s plugged in. I set it to turn on when my alarm wakes me up I’m the morning. Easy to figure out, I’m not the best with setting up electronics. And this was a breeze.
