KMC Smart Tap 2-Pack, 4-Outlet Smart Plug WiFi Outlet Wall Tap, Energy Monitoring, Works with Alexa and Google Home, Remote Control Your Devices from Anywhere, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, White

The good is that it helped with monitoring electric usage for gauging power requirements that I needed. So it achieved what I got it for. The app was easy to use. However, the bad part is when you lose power, this defaults to OFF, and the only way to turn it ON is to hit the power button, which is a pain when it is tucked behind a server rack. I ended up removing it once I no longer needed to gauge the power usage.

Instructions in the manual are not accurate. Yet, the setup on wifi was straightforward. The KMC Smart App user interface is easy to navigate. Easy to setup on Google Home or Alexa after setting up on KMC Smart app. Energy monitoring details fairly accurate. Though, the energy monitoring is for the whole smart plug not individual plugs. Individual plug monitoring would have been nicer to have. Dont expect the build quality to be at par with other brand-name smart plugs like Kasa, Wemo, ... Wont bother much about that, as smart-plugs are usually setup only once, oblivious after.

These are the best deals going on multiple WiFi outlet devices. There are 3 individual WiFi outlets that can be named separately worth their own timers. And one always on outlet . Another great thing is they have their own energy use meter so you can tell the power draw on each plug. Stays connected to WiFi never had a failure Ive ordered 3 is these so far

Love finally getting something to make my home a smart home. Replaces timers for my house plants. Connects well with Amazon Alexa. I found an app that connects all my different smart plugs.

They work well so far and were a good deal, however they both came scratched up as others have said. Also, the plug is on the bottom (not the top like in their photo).

I mistakenly purchased 8 of these smart taps in total. The first 2 installed OK... little finicky compared to any other Tuya Smart compatible products but not the worst setup I have gone through. Everything seemed to work OK with Tuya app and with SmartLife app on both Android and iOS. Additionally the taps were useable in Home Assistant and provided individual control over 3 of 4 outlets and power monitoring detail. Since they were cheap and worked I ended up ordering 6 more over course of several days. These 8 total were added to 37 other smart devices which included 8 other different types of power monitor plugs I have accumulated over past several years. Maybe I am being too critical but with so many different devices and the easily 40 other returned devices that either didnt work or had fatal flaws I have an insane amount of data to compare against and have ended up with a pretty good testing regimen. I am sure I spend too much time messing with smart home stuff but lets just chalk it up to a hobby (or a developing addiction?) :) Here is what I ended up realizing after I put the taps in use: They do not stay connected. Not when connected to network with 50+ other devices that are stable. Not when connected individually to network with all other devices powered off and less than 5 feet from the WiFi Router. Not when moved around to different locations in the house. Best experience has been actually connected to WiFi Extender (in AP mode) rather than directly to router. The energy monitoring data is so far off it might be closer to random than terribly calibrated. The amount off is not consistent making it impossible to just offset or compensate with a standard factor. Two of the taps (1 each from different purchases) would routinely show 0.7 V and then never reset. (Both returned as defective). The other 6 all show over 130V... which I wish was true since I actually have issues with ComEd (Illinois) being able to supply 120V consistently. I have measured the same few outlets on different breakers in different areas of house to confirm. Using a kil-a-watt device and 4 different power monitor plugs from 4 different companies (using different internals)... there is less than 1V variance across the 4 other plugs and the kil-a-watt -- all showing between 116-119.5 V over long periods of time. Each of the 6 taps I have not yet returned show 127-133V. The values seem stable until a device is reset and then used again... first time might hover around 127... then after rest 131... 2nd reset... 133. Having the V read high in turn causes the power to be calculated high... somewhat defeating the purpose of collecting energy monitoring data from the tap. The taps shut off randomly... often if there is a network reset (reboot router, power outage, internet outage... etc). There is not setting to retain relay status or force on as default mode. Even a dip that does not trigger a UPS or flicker other smart plugs/taps will power off these taps. The always on outlet power use is not part of the power monitoring. If you use the 3 managed outlets you can get inaccurate power data and you have to manually button switch the device on periodically due to the random shutoffs. If you use the always on outlet no power data is measured and at that point you are just doing exact same thing as not using the tap and using the wall outlet. There is no over current protection or it exists well above what can be hit from a standard residential outlet. I have 1 outlet I know I can trip on demand with a toaster and an electric kettle. The toaster starts at 800W and levels to 750W and the kettle starts within few seconds at 1700W and settles to 1550-1600W. One in each plug is an almost immediate 2500W pull which will trip the breaker in a few minutes. Any other smart plug or tap I use will auto-shutoff before both can get to full power... except when plugged into this tap where it runs for a min then breaker trips. In fact the kettle alone shuts off most other smart taps/plugs except on marketed as heavy duty. All have same 1875W max most smart devices in US have in their specs. Last point is kinda funny as the tap wont shut off to save you but if you use it with a reasonable load (1 LED bulb lamp or a USB phone/tablet charger)... it will shut off intermittently for no reason. I will probably return these though I might also attempt to reflash the firmware and see if this is an actual hardware issue or a software/firmware issue with this company (KMC). I fully expected buying sketchy smart home devices would come with issues... but for the most part it has been easy to figure out immediately something works or not. Things that work have worked as expected until these taps. If you are afflicted with same problems I have and waste an inappropriate amount of time on smart home hacking/tinkering the price of these taps and the challenge of working around a poorly manufactured or poorly coded device might be a use case. If you want an inexpensive smart home device supported by Tuya or SmartLife app which in turn integrates with Google Home, Alexa and even Homekit (if you use Home Assistant server)... there are at least 2 other taps and 10-15 other similarly inexpensive 1 or 2 outlet plugs that wont disappoint. I am not going to tell anyone not to buy something but I did want to provide something more than the typical this sucks review for those who want to know why something is rated low by someone.

Works as it should and was pretty easy to set up.

There was some confusion with which app to use. We finally connected with one that worked with Alexa. I would have given up trying to figure it out, but luckily it was my husband setting everything up. Product works as advertised. I just wish that there was an easier process for setting it up. It became the most time intensive setup for a smart device either of us have had. I had to read through the reviews to figure out what we were doing wrong...

Overall this is a decent product. Setup was easy and the remote function works well. unfortunately it has a low amperage/capacity. I currently have a keurig coffee machine, an electric kettle and a Nespresso machine plugged in the unit. I con only run one at a time. if I turn on 2 units or more, the device will disconnect and shut off the power (like a surge protector).

I really love being able to monitor how much electricity Im using, and this allows you to do so from your phone. Unfortunately, it only shows total use by all three smart outlets. They arent individually metered, and the always on outlet isnt metered at all. This makes a use case would be very specific. Im using one for my computer. The monitor, audio amp, and external USB hub use the switched outlets, and the computer itself uses the always on, because it can monitor its own power usage. With this setup, I can see how much energy the entire system uses, and kill power to the amp or USB if I dont need them.
