Kasa Smart Plug Mini, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa & Google Home, Wi-Fi Simple Setup, No Hub Required – A Certified for Humans Device (HS105)

I have quite few Kasa devices around the house as well as some other brands. I like Kasa because they seem to be reliable. I dont seem to have the connection issues Ive had with other brands. I like that I can just give it a name and then tell Alexa to control it by name. It makes it easy to set things up for my wife in a way that she will remember and actually use and lets her replace all the old style rotary timers she was always asking me to tweak. Plus we have enough of them around the house these days that its easy to make the house look occupied when we are away. I like this particular model as its smaller than some of the earlier Kasa outlets I have but other than that thery all work pretty much that same and thats been pretty good for me so Ill probably be back if and when I need more.

I have purchased two of these. I have one set up with a fan and another with a space heater. Both of them are able to handle the heavier load (15A) that these items produce. Other plugs that I’ve used that are adequate to switch on lights were blown out by the higher loads fans and heaters produce.. Works great with Alexa. “Alexa, turn on the fan.” I use the timer with the space heater warm my bathroom before I get ready for work. I can also say “Alexa, turn on/off heater.”

I keep getting more and more of these. I use them all over my house. I use the app on my phone and Amazon Alexa to turn them on and off or schedule routines. Good quality and great price. Can’t beat them.

I bought this for a specific purpose - to be able to power cycle our smart TV when it became unresponsive, without needing to get to the outlet behind the TV. Once set-up problems had been resolved, it does this very well through the app. I havent yet set up Alexa integration, so cant comment on that. Setup appears simple - plug in, and use the app to guide through the stages, following flashing lights on the unit. Despite following to the letter, it kept stalling at the stage when the app was trying to communicate via the wifi network to the smart plug and (I think) trying to establish direct communication with my phone via its own SSID. It kept getting stuck at that stage, taking me down one of two routes, the app asking if I could see blue and amber alternate flashing and if so, trying to select its SSID on my phone or otherwise doing a reset. Neither were successful. I sent the first back, suspecting a bad radio after talking to support. Same with the second, and having decided that it was unlikely I received two bad units, I spoke to TP Link support directly. They were very good, considering the low price of this item and got things going after a router and phone reset and a long (30 sec) reset of the smart plug. However there is nothing odd about my network - a single Linksys WRT series 802.11ac device or phone (Pixel 4). So why was this so difficult? A puzzle given the large number of excellent ratings.

Easy to install, versatile programmibg. I purchased 3 and glad I did! As a person with low vision,, I dont have to stumble into a room and fumble for lights! I can turn them on - and off - as I desire, right from the app! Also, when I arrived home after my old-time timers were already off, I was entering in the dark. Not so with Kasa; I can turn on inside lights while Im still in my car!

I like our herbs and spices, it’s very important to me to have my roots and spices naturally. I work out 3 to 4 times a week. I do the best to take care of Myself. It’s important that we all stay healthy. We have herbs and spices to take care of everything that’s needed for the body and for the brain also for her skin and hair. We have herbs and spices to cleanse our bodies. It’s very important to cleanse our body. I order just about every year anything from Amazon.com I ordered all my car parts interior and exterior, also engine parts.

Ive got 9 Kasa devices and have the same issue with all of them. They frequently disconnect from Alexa. I am not having an issue with my other 40+ devices of various brands, just Kasa. I bought them because they were inexpensive. You definitely get what you pay for in this case. They have not released a firmware update in forever which makes them a target for hackers.

Great value for this product! Easy to set up, works with Alexa and the app very well! Will be buying more

We use this on a lamp, that enables us 3 ways to turn it on: 1) while we was away, I used the app to turn on the lamp, 2) before we leave the house, we tell Alexa we are leaving the house, and based on your geographical location, she will turn on the lamp at dusk, and 3) while u r home, tell Alexa to turn on the lamp, and tell her when u want it turned off, and she will turn it on when requested, and turn it off when requested. So far, no problems. Luv it!

These are my favorite smart plugs!!! Super easy to set up and they just work. You do need to get the Kasa app (which is also great) but after that connecting to Alexa or Google Home is a piece of cake. The Kasa app is great for setting up routines or grouping devices. I’ve only used with lighting but everyone in our home loves them.
