Kasa Smart Plug HS103P2, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control,15 Amp,UL Certified, 2-Pack White

First off, I am just getting into smart home devices so naturally I am a newbie. I have an Ecobee Smart Thermostat with Alexa so I wanted to expand my smart devices. We put up our Christmas decorations, inside and outside. I was getting sick of turning them off individually -- there were times that we forgot to turn them off so they were on all night. After some research, I stumbled upon the Kasa smart plugs which seemed like a dream come true. Comparatively, there were cheaper than the Philips Hue series and the reviews were consistently great. I took a chance and boy, I am extremely happy with these (as well as the outdoor plug). It was as simple as 1-2-3 as far as setting them up. I read a couple reviews saying the app doesnt work and sync with their plugs. Not sure what all the fuss is all about but they worked perfectly fine. Its nice that you can set up a schedule as well as a group so all devices can turn on and off depending on what device youve chosen. Its also nice to say, Alexa, turn on Christmas Decorations and all the lights turn on. Ive also set up Movie Night where the Christmas tree and some window lights turn off so there isnt glare. Overall, I am very happy with these smart plugs and I hope Kasa comes out with more products because I am happy with their products! 10/10 would recommend.

One works great. The other doesnt allow the plug to be inserted all the way, so any slight touch disconnects it.

Love everything about it. Works perfectly. Alexa intervention is perfect too. Only thing is they are a little bigger than I thought they’d be but not too terrible

Works good to turn lights or anything to turn on or off by voice through Alexa.

I did not like that I needed to get the Kasa App, you have to get the Kasa app then it syncs to Alexa app. If I knew this I would have purchased Paid more for the actual Alexa Plug. It works fine.

I have used the (2) smart plugs on a few occasions to turn lights on and off when I was away from home. Last week while I was gone from home there was a local power outage and the plugs did not come back online (while other wifi devices did so). I was unable to connect with the plugs from a distance or when I returned home. When I got home I pulled one of the plugs from the outlet and immediately reinserted it. It then connected to wifi and my iPhone along with the other one which I did not touch upstairs. I contacted the company and spoke to someone in the Philippines who sent me a link by email to use a beta tester app that deals with bugs. I dont want to play around with this, simply want a plug that is dependable. I then contacted chat support and was informed that it is a weakness of the design. None of the Kasa plugs apparently is immune to this. Well, it is unlikely that I will have another power outage soon but in my mind this is a limitation of the plug. Ive used it to turn on/off lights in the house so that it appears that someone is home. I think Ill use a standard timer for another light as a back-up when I am away from home in the future. Otherwise the plug is great, very easy to use and adjust schedules.

Works well

I found the lights I want to control works great in warmer or even hot conditions. I have found that when we have a long spell of cold weather they will stop working. They stop responding to the app and will work again then we approach 38 degrees they will start working again. Over all they are a good product if the problem could be resolved I would be happy to pay an increased price for the set. I would recommend this switch to others.

I was concerned when I read some of the other reviews that I may have issues with disconnection issues, but so far these have worked perfectly for me. In addition, I have a TP-Link DECO Mesh WIFI system, which I thought may cause some issues (sometimes Mesh Systems can be a little weird for smarthome devices) but not problems at all. I use mine with Google Home and Google Nest Speakers & Home Hub and Im very happy with the entire experience. I also have a few of the regular lightswitches and 3-way lightswitches as well and everything works great.

I like TP Link products, I was able to set up all 3 plugs in 10 minutes. bot some other brand wifi plug and had to return them because I could not connect them. Bot TP link router 5 years ago and still going strong. if I knew TP Link has wifi plug, I would have bot them in the first place, not sure why they brand it as Kasa
