Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip KP303, Surge Protector with 3 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 2 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required , White

Worked great for a couple of months now the smart aspect of it works every so often making it the same as a simple power strip.

Easy to use and set up.

Well, its sleek looking. Handsome even. I saw this power strip and thought to myself well thats a good lookin power strip right there. That gets a solid 1 star..aside from the fact that Amazon doesnt allow zero. Im sure if i plugged things into it, it might work, but i could have bought 2x excellent APC dumb strips for the price. Ive got a google Wifi setup at home. First generation. NLS-1304-25. If you are familiar with mesh routers, aside from the netgear orbi, most of them have both 2.4 and 5 ghz broadcasted under the same SSID. Now most smart home devices, while all 2.4 ghz devices, can be classified per a google wifi setup as 1. Works out of the box 2. Works with a bit of gymnastics 3. Does not work / cant even get past setup Unlike the star rating, this fall under #3. ive got 4 Kasa plugs to my name and one other setup for another person. I could say I was a fan. Not my first time setting up a plug/plug like device in the TP link app. I had just failed attempt 21 with a TP link support person after failing setup 20 times myself. Not an exaggeration. i like even numbers. As part of the self troubleshooting process, i have tried the setup with 3 devices (2x Android, 1x ipad). Between each setup I did a reset by holding down one of the buttons on the switch to reset it back to a green/orange color and plugged/unplugged . Within said attempts, Ive tried things like only using an android device that works on the 2.4 ghz frequency (Android 8.1, some cheap LG), walking far away from my wifi to force a 2.4 ghz connection with my other android (pixel 3), and using the ipad. I can get as far as freezing on the attempting to connect the strip to the network or to the cannot connect to wifi screen, but no further. Rounding out hour 3.5 with support. Being escalated now to their senior engineer. Come on TP link. Ive already been burned by your Archer C8 router...gave TP link a chance with single plugs and was impressed..now this. Lets turn this review into 3 or 4 stars. EDIT: Follow the definition of insanity. Keep trying for hours. Do the same thing and eventually it will work. Actual troubleshooting got me nowhere. TP link support is useless. They will give you troubleshooting steps that you JUST DID and JUST TOLD them you did. This is staying at 1 star. Terrible product. Worse support. Powering on / item devices became hit or miss. Id hear the click but nothing. Id have to physically hit the switch button then hit it again for it to work. Stay away from this product. Get their single plugs if you are going to get their smart plug

Lo he usado ya casi durante un año y es totalmente funcional y versátil con la conexión a Alexa, lo uso todo el día en mi zona de trabajo y no ha dado problemas en ningún momento.

Its cool to be able to turn outlets on/off with the app and even locally via some custom code. Only complaint is that there isnt a way to issue a restart action that turns a device off then back on a moment later. This matters for my router since Id like to be able to use it to restart my router when the internet is acting up. (If I turn it off, Id lose connection and wouldnt be able to turn it back on). Otherwise it works just swell.

Setting up was a little difficult because the device wouldnt find the WiFi from my phone. I ended up switching my wifi router to manual channel selection on the 2.4ghz. Once I did this, I had to relogin to my wifi on my phone, but it worked to get the kasa plugs connected. Once that was was figured out, it was off to the races easily assigning plugs and connecting them to Alexa.

Just awesome. Works exactly as it should and as I wanted it to!

Ive tried several options similar to this, and then this is by far the best. Highly recommend

Works great with Google Home /Nest and Amazon Alexa. I have both this and the 5-plug model and have had no issues setting them up or using them. I have been using it for over 2 years. If you can use the Kasa app, you shouldnt have an issue setting it up.

Took a while to get it set up with my Wi-Fi
