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

This thing is AWESOME! A little tricky to set up at first, but if you use a timer for any outlets, you need to get this, it saves so much space. And if you add yhe cost of several timers and a power strip, the cost comes out about the same.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. Let me start with a review of the seller. I ordered my product as “used - like new”. There’s a certain quality expected with the “like new” title, and this did not live up to it. To start - the plug was sent in its regular product packaging, and wasn’t taped or sealed shut. I was able to open it on my doorstep with one hand. My delivery driver commented on how it wasn’t taped shut. Literally anyone could have opened it and stolen it, there was nothing keeping it closed but the way the box is made. That was it. They could have at least used the shipping label to keep it shut as the literal bare minimum. Next - the plug was NASTY. I’m talking 3 Clorox wipes worth of dirt and grime. There were scuff marks on it and it was sticky and slimes? I mean seriously - there’s a pandemic, you’re listing it as like new. They least you should be doing as a seller is wiping it down and taping the box shut. It was ridiculous. There was dirt in the outlets themselves. The cord was grey (it’s supposed to be white), and there were black marks all over the back. It was just gross. This was far from “like new” and honestly the seller should be ashamed. On to the power strip itself: Fantastic. This thing works so well! I use it to automate my greenhouse and it’s absolutely brilliant. I love that I’m able to track how much energy it’s using, and I’m able to control it with either the SmartThings app or Google Assistant. It makes my life infinitely easier. The flat plug is great too, and the outlets are at 90° so I can fit all my large plugs in without a problem. The 3 always-on usb outlets are great as well. Power strip is a 10/10. Love it. Highly recommend it. This seller is at most a 1/10. Buy from someone else.

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.

This is a sturdy solid device and because you don’t have to plug in those large Wi-Fi plugs you can actually use all of the outlets! I have tried many different smart plugs but Kasa has been the easiest set up and become the most dependable brand of smart plug I’ve used over the years! This device also monitors the energy from each plug…awesome! I highly recommend this brand for any smart plug you need!

This is fin great! Having multiple things on different schedules turning on and off makes life so much easier! Highly recommend!

This is an excellent power strip. Each plug works. The connection to google/alexa is poor. Approximately once a week each plug on the device goes offline. The workaround seems to be to reset the internet, and then reset each individual outlet, and then reconnect to google. Google says its on kasaa, kasaa says its on Google. I love our dystopian future.

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.
