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)

ME KASA or your KASA these bad boys work really well with my lamps and electronic air freshers to turn them off at certain times well done. connected to my wifi and Alexa integration was a snap.

They work well. I have them on just about every plugged in light and always use one on the Christmas tree and the outdoor version for lights. It is so much easier to ask alexa to turn on the tree than to crawl under and plug it in. The timer function great for not only turning the lights on an off but also a good way to turn lights off late at night if someone forgets to turn them off. The sunrise and sunset options come in very handy and these have replaced all my mechanical timers. The wifi setup is the only downfall. It isnt too complicated but not straight forward either. I had to set a couple of these up for a coworker who was ready to give up and return them. If you happen to change your wifi password the update process is more difficult than it has to be.

The Kasa plugs are fantastic. You download their app for setup. Alexa immediately recognizes the plugs. I just got a third Kasa smart plug and when I opened the Kasa app, it added the new plug immediately, I did not push on anything, BOOM. Then I opened Alexa, gave it a new name and added it to a group. Easey Peasey! Snatch them up if you see them on sale.

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.

Easy to set up, although I had to try multiple times to get it to detect and connect to my network. Unfortunate that there is no HomeKit integration. I use the widget to toggle it off and on.

There is zigbee and zwave, and you can buy plugs with this technology. But I find their mesh networks collapse, probably due to range. This device is wifi based. It does not have a range issue and because it is plugged in it doesnt have a power issue. What I really like about this device... my alexa discovered it without using the kasa app. Its like a zigbee device that you dont need to sign up for another service to use (and pay later... wink wink) but it has the range of wifi win win I only have one caveat for the reader. I got this black Friday as a package with an alexa show. So maybe they did something to pair it to my account first I also have a kasa wall switch... no such joy, Ill need to sign up to get the wall switch to work. Come on Kasa! Your mileage may vary

So far this is the absolute best smart plug that weve used! The setup is insanely easy and it works perfectly with Google Home. I cannot attest to Alexa integration because we dont have her in our home. But I highly recommend these plugs. In fact, not only do I use only these Kasa smart plugs but I also use Kasa smart lightbulbs. They too are the best Ive used and I have tried several manufacturers! I know I sound like a walking billboard but thats because I really love Kasas products. I did not get paid in any way to say these things - their products are just that good!

Could never have set it up myself - I am not techy. My daughter set it up and it took her quite awhile. I suggest the manufacturers make installation quite a bit easier if they expect to sell more of these in the future. I’d bought a second one but my daughtet is in no rush to open the box!!

I looked for reviews that said whether or not this integrates with Smartthings before purchasing, but didn’t find any, so I’m writing one. The Smartthings website seemed to say that it would integrate without issue. I just got it yesterday and went to connect to Smartthings. It does work, BUT you must install the Kasa Smart app first and you need to connect the device through that app in order to get Smartthings to recognize it. The Kasa app was relatively straightforward and I was able to get it hooked up pretty quickly. It’s not the end of the world. It works. I got it set up with a timer, etc, but I wish you could add it straight through Smartthings.

So we got this to work with our Alexa. For the most part it is great. The setup wasnt crazy easy, but it was simple enough. What I dont like is that I have to have a completely separate app on my phone to set it up before it will connect with Alexa. Also, when we changed our wi-fi password, it was easier to delete the whole device and set it up again than to change the current one. That wouldnt be a big deal except we had that device in a couple Alexa routines, so those had to be re-done. Overall, for everyday use, its great. Just a couple minor inconveniences.
