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

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 just received a 2-pack of this KMC Smart Plug yesterday. The setup was a breeze. One of the units I received was Dead On Arrival. It had a malfunctioning socket, but I will be getting a replacement after a quick 5 minute chat with Amazon. Here are the pros and cons of the units after my one day use. I will update this review when theres anything Id like to add. Pros: 1. Easy and polished Android app called Smart Life by Tuya Inc. making it super easy to setup.(I havent tested the iOS app) I found it easier to setup than setting up the Amazon Echo via the Alexa app. 2. Cheap. It will pay for itself after just a few months. For example, I have a smart vacuum that drains 13 watts/hour 24/7. It would save me $20 in 6 months if I program it to only charge the vacuum one day a week. Ill be playing with this functionality with my other vampire power devices in the house such as my WIFI-enabled laser printer(idles at 9 watts/hour), analog oven(idles at 15 watt/hour!!), XBox, smart TVs, etc. 3. Gives you easy control to areas that are hard to access. Now I can just pull out my phone to control via the app or say Alexa, turn on/off my TV backdrop light instead of crawling to the back of my TV. 4. Alexa, Google, IFTTT integration is so dang cool! Cons: 1. The instructions manual DESPERATELY needs an update. It tells you to should download a banned app called KMC Smart. It was banned because it had services that ran in the background of your phone that shouldnt have been running. The one you should download is called Smart Life. The seller really needs to update the manuals as this is a very critical step. 2. Sockets are too close to each other. 2mm more padding space would be more ideal for most plugs. 3. Sockets stay off after power outage. The statement on the product description is not true: After a power outage, outlets will retain their most recent setting to save energy. I hope the smart plug will get a firmware update to address this issue.

I got this plugs on a sale for $ 16.14 a pack, this means $8.07 per plug. Initial impressions, construction looks good, this seems to be made by KMC and not a rebrand as it regular with all todays procuts as the brand is stamped on the product and not a label. The internal looks of good design and contructions, i got this to be used on my server rack so i can turn off/on individual products in case i need to restart them , like a server or switch. My initial problem was with the claim that After a power outage, outlets will retain their most recent setting to save energy. this is currently not true with the current firmware version, i tried diferent ways and would not work this way so it will not serve my purpuse unless i put tasmota on it. You can control each individual plug on the top row, and the one on the bottom is always on as indicated. I flashed this with tuya-convert and after that i programed the relays to retain memory and stay on the last state. One aded value of this plug is that it has total power monitoring, you can measure the total consumption of all the switches and this is good if you want to monitor your devices or appliances. Another good thing is the little plastic plug on the back that is supposed to align on a US 2 outlet receptacle for added stability, however you may need to remove this if you are going to plug this into any other place like the output of a UPS like in my case. Overall, this is a great value, im taking half a star because of the claim that the relays stay on the last state, this may be corrected on a future firmware upgrade, however this is common for smart devices with a few exceptions.

I got overloaded and it worked. Good product, easy to use. I just hope it has surge protector too

I own several different smart plugs brands. Among the brands are Meross, TP-LINK KASA, and Amazon Plug. But what I loved about these KMC taps is that they keep monthly track of aggregated electrical usage all on their own. None of my other smart plugs can do this. Its like having a Kill-A-Watt monitor on every tap. I can monitor the electrical usage by the window ACs and do it remotely. I also found just getting the old fashion analog window AC works great with these taps since I can switch them on and off from my phone. Even!! Even!! when I am on the road heading home !! I can cool off the house by asking Google Assistant or Alexa to switch on those AC while I am away from home. Is that cool or what? Better than an infrared remote control on the more expensive digital Window ACs. It will even graph my usage on a monthly basis. I have included screen-captures. I like my initial 2-pack so much, that I ordered a second 2-pack because I have four windows A/Cs. Yet another like I have is that I can toggle four devices per tap (3 independently and 1 master) per wall outlet. Impossible to do with other smart plugs because they take up so much room. If only KMC offered these in 6 plugs independently controlled. My next smart purchase will be smart temperature sensors and program an Alexa route to trigger the AC once the indoor temperature reaches a threshold I specify. Hopefully, I will get my money back in savings with these smart devices!

Had hoped to use this to control individual outlet connections via Alexa. I spent a couple of hours repeating the instructions. While the strip finally paired with the KMC app, and the app was successfuly added to the Alexa app as a smart home skill, the power strip was never identified and paired by Alexa. So I have to control things manually via KMC app. Also WIFI compatibility issues with new WIFI 6 networking in my home. Disappointing.

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.

Not very easy to set up. But I managed to get it to work anyhow.

I am using this for a fan that I can control through Google. Works well. My only complaint is during setup it can take a it to get into discovery mode, but after that it was smooth sailing!

This year our Christmas tree remote controlled plug bit the dust. Who wants to plug in the tree each morning? So I looked for something I could use in our smart home. This fit the bill perfectly. I plugged it in and set it all up with ease. Actually was one of the easier smart plugs I have set up. Does a great job. And you can’t beat the 2 for 18 dollars or so price. I was very impressed with the price.
