Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, Surge Protector with 6 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 3 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required , White

I have 4 of those spread around the house. I use mostly for my plant room, cabinets and etc. It’s very easy to use, reliable and straightforward. You can set up individual commands for each plug as you wish. The only silly detail, which can be worked around, is that it’ll follow the timing of your phone. A different time zone will interfere with the schedules set

Initially connecting it was seamless and serves its purpose. The major design flaw is that when plugged in the direction the plug is oriented it faces backwards/upside down. Very strange design flaw I did not see mentioned by many.

Despite its high price this is most definitely the best wifi power strip on the market, or at least out of the ones I have tried. The app is super easy to use, connecting and setting up names for each plug, and even viewing the power consumption. When connected to alexa, the plugs turn off and on very quickly when using voice commands. Great purchase, even better when its on sale.

So far its been great. Does exactly what is supposed to and setup was simple. I love how you can control each outlet and it has power monitoring. Wish the app was better for routines/skills but it does exactly what I need it to so oh well. I can control it through Alexa and so far no weirdness there. I havent tried the USB ports but Im glad they are there. The cord is a good length and I already had some kasa products so I was used to the features. The app is really simple though. That is both a good thing, for newbies and a not so great thing for power-users. Im already looking at other kasa products so Id definitely recommend this to others.

Love that the sockets are individually controlled. Great for bedside to control lamps, humidifiers, fans, heated blankets etc and with Alexa to make sure they are on when I head to bed and more importantly all off when I leave for the day. Beats the 1 outlet switches I was using.

This worked great for a few months, then I changed my router. It still honestly worked fine as a powerstrip/surge protector until recently when I tried making it a smart strip again. My pc is plugged into it(mostly to monitor power usage) along with some other stuff like a normal lamp, fan etc. normally all off. Since I got a re650 tp-link wireless extender to strengthen my network connect around 6ft away from the strip, it has been randomly shutting itself down for an instant effectively shorting anything connected... (testing my network on my pc the signal is 300mbps, regardless wifi shouldn’t be triggering a reset if it wasn’t a problem when I hd no router for a full month) 3 times just today and I refuse to continue using it for fear of damage to my electronics. It’s not even about this being a good smart strip this is literally not even a good power strip anymore. I opted to go for tp-link because they have a lot great reviews and if this was still the product I got when I opened the box I’d agree but now I’m shopping for a simple surge protector to replace this hemorrhage of wasted money. I’m usually about reading every level of reviews and am very careful with my purchases so I hope this review helps people. Not all bad reviews are reflective of performance but I’d definitely take risks with something else, this didn’t even make a year. After my recent problems with my extender and router I’d suggest avoiding the tp-brand altogether as their 5 star reviews seem inflated compared to my own experiences. My fault for banking on 3 devices all from the same company. Either a lot of the better reviews are bots or there’s a huge silicon lottery with these things.

I really like the overall convenience and aesthetics of this surge protector. The amount of space between each outlet is really nice. I also like how you can turn each outlet on and off individually. The design is really clean. In the end though, I returned this product because the energy monitoring on the one I received wasnt working properly. The numbers I was getting were ridiculous. They did give me a refund, so I have no complaints about their service. With that said, without energy monitoring, I still think it was a great product; I just cant justify the cost for it
