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

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 was skeptical but this is a well designed and easy to use product. I have a bearded dragon and her enclosure has a complex series of lights and heaters -each plug can be programmed separately and with complex settings to allow for the mimic of natural light. I highly recommend.

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.

For some reason the option to turn off the led indicator lights doesnt work and the bright lights are always on. Even in the night.

Update 1-2-2021: Well it seems I made an error in my original review. If you do change your wifi name or password you can re-connect the device without loosing all your settings. The key is to not select reset device when re-connecting it, which is what i did. Then it will go straight to the wifi setup section without loosing names or schedules. However this isnt mentioned anywhere in the manual (which is just a little card telling you to use the app). I had to get the information from users at the Kasa forum and it took a while to find. So Im uping my rating, but still docking 1 star for this to not be documented in the user guide or app. Original Review: I liked this thing so much that I bought another one. They were both super easy to set up and the app works great to controll each outlet individually and create schedules to help save energy. The plugs are spaced far apart enough to be able to plug in USB power supplies and other wall warts without covering an adjacent outlet. Overall the thing is great and I would have given it 5 stars easily. And now for the bad, and I mean really bad! I routinely change my wifi password about once a month as recommended by security experts. This is where it completely fails. The app has no place to change this. Not even in the settings for the device. Their support says I have to reset it to factory settings and set it up again! This is a major failure. So now I have to setup 12 outlets again with names and schedules. I was going to buy a couple more of these, but now forget it. 12 outlets is enough to have to redo every month. Unless TP-Link pushes out a firmware or app update to correct this horrible oversight I wont be getting any more. Thats why I only gave it 3 stars. When and if they fix this issue it becomes a 5 srar product.

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

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’m not an Alexa user, but I find these pretty handy. Only problem I have is that some of the outlets stops working, the power light lights up but it won’t power anything. Haven’t researched any possible fixes yet, but it’s disappointing especially when one power strip is just a little over a year old

All ports and plugs work! Perfect for me to control multiple devices! Highly recommended!

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
