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

Seamlessly connected to wifi. I use them to control multiple aquariums and their hardware. I have purchased 3 and would most definitely buy them again. Works with Alexa flawlessly.

Kristine Mae Butalon in Customer Service is the best! I had trouble adding a device to my Kasa app and she was very helpful. In the end we were able to successfully add my hs300 smart strip to my existing app. Very happy with the quality of the product as well the customer service provided by TP-link support.

My entire reef tank runs on this . You can use a Kasa camera as well for live monitor . The energy usage feature is so important as I can monitor the usage as well if a device is functional or not.

I really like this power strip. The power monitoring capability is excellent. And it is a real bonus that it works with the Sense home energy monitor. The only negative is that it does not work with the Tuya app which is what I use for most of my smart devices. However, it there is a Homebridge plug-in that works perfectly so I just control this power strip with Apple Homekit through the Homebridge software (running on raspberry pi). Overall, it is just an excellent power strip. It is well made, works flawlessly, will return to the same on off state for each plug if power is lost... it just is exactly what I wanted. I use one in my office and another to control the home entertainment center. Between the two of these applications I easily save over 60 Watts of vampire load. It is also nice that I can just turn on the equipment I need in either application. I highly recommend this product. It is a little expensive, but seems to go on sale frequently. When compared to individual plugs the cost is actually quite fair. And I would say the quality is above average (and better than most individual smart plugs you might buy).

really like this power strip - this is the third one ive gotten for the apartment. I use it with google home to control lots of things by voice/app. bought the first one for the living room to use with the lights. appreciate the usb ports to have phone chargers threaded through to the couch. liked it enough that we bought a second one for the dining room. appreciate it both for the convenience and for power saving. especially helpful bc our house is older and doesnt have a ton of outlets.

The product works as expected. I connected it with Google Assistant and I am quite please. Although, as an Apple user, I notice there isnt Apple Homekit Integration. That is not surprising since that feature is pretty underdeveloped and lacking with partners. The application is easy and intuitive. I set it up quite easily. Mostly I use it for my light, computer screens, aroma diffuser and heater. Probably will replace it with a fan in the winter. All things I want to automate around my desk. Cannot do much. Just Screen off, Lights On (doesnt actually turn on because my desk lamps require a press for first use), Lights Off (thats nice when I am tired.) and heater On/Off. This can be a fan in the summer. Thoughts on Application/Smart Devices: It seems they want to add feature to the app but havent quite gotten to it. I dont know if they ever will. In my humble opinion, I am a bit worried for the future if the apple will be maintained. For now, support seems great but down the line, you have to remember this is an appliance with a long product life. Unlike physical products, application have a short life. Although it is a worry, that is a risk you take with all smart devices.

I started looking at way to understand and control my energy usage after regular $300+ dollar electric bills. I started with the Sense Energy monitor (which I highly recommend). The Sense featured an integration with this Kasa HS300 power strip and the ability to see what each individual outlet is consuming in real time. Once you setup and integrate the Sense and Kasa HS300 you can monitor and understand how much power a device is using and the associated cost (based on your cost of electricity that you configure in the Sense app) over time - This was a key capability for me. The Kasa HS300 itself is very well built and I would highly recommend it as a standalone (without Sense). The HS300 itself does give you access to usage information directly in the Kasa app as well as the ability to turn off individual outlets when the devices connected are not serving a purpose. Lastly, you get six outlets that are individually controlled and offer a view into each discrete outlet from a power usage perspective - this is a significantly more cost effective approach from my use case.

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 love the individual Kasa plugs because I can use them for energy monitoring without needing an account or cloud access. For some reason, though, this one is different and requires you to set up an account to set it up on wifi. Like the individual plugs, this can be controlled locally without the cloud and integrates beautifully with Sense, and so I am still a fan.

I want to say five... I want to say five!!! I really do! I just cant!! Why not? Because even though I have a dedicated 2.4 ghz network *specifically* set up for my smart home devices (better penetration, less noise than the computers and streaming devices pounding the 5ghz networks) this thing insists on disconnecting two or three times a month! Ok, I admit this I have three and the other two work really well, and this one is not exactly near the base station, so I get that the signal may drop once in a while. The issue is when it does, it doesnt ever reconnect!!! I have to physically unplug it/kill the power, and when it comes back up, it happily reconnects to the network. Why they cant say Hey... .we dropped. Lets automatically try to reconnect! is beyond me, but it is soooo infuriating because it controls my computers external monitors and my KVM so when I kill the power, my desktop goes berserk and needs to all be power-cycled itself. Its so bad I had to install a wired-remote-plug so I could just hit a button switch to kill the power to the strip and reconnect it without having to get out of my chair and climb behind my desk yet again. But its so nice looking, with pleasing colors and a great app and great features! I wanted to give it five stars... I really did! But that damn reconnect issue is just too much. So much so I even considered marking this as a three-star. The only reason I didnt is again, I have three of these and the other two work flawlessly (although they are closer to the router.) Fix the reconnect issue and Ill happily put this back to five. I dont mind it going offline every now and then for a minute or two. I mind that it completely disrupts my work flow when it happens, and the only way to fix it is with the hammer of killing all power, not a screwdriver. So close to being great, but not quite. Cmon TP Link... you can fix this with a firmware upgrade! Just make it automatically try to reconnect!!!
