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

These arrived quick and were easy to set up. It said you had to get their specific app, however I already had an app that went with a power strip I bought a few months ago. I took a chance and it loaded on it. Nice to keep all my devices on one app instead of every make/model having a different app to use. Works with Alexa pretty well. All in all I’m super pleased with this purchase! Might add a few more later on.

These come out of the wall really easy. I use both in places they arent disturbed, and just the weight of three 2 prong plugs slowly pulls one away from the wall. I have to push it back in once a week or so. Setup was easy. It works reliably. I have another brand plug that loses the network connection often, these do not.

Love these things! Has worked flawlessly, my lenovo smart plugs stopped working with Alexa but these have remained , running strong even after outage . I highly recommend and best of all you can control each port individually and see how much wattage each is Using.

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!

The switch works great. It is easy to set up with the app. Dont really need it but the app also records usage. I like that one outlet is constant on.

Took a little while to get them set up with google home, (didn’t include any good directions) but once it was set up, they’ve worked great. Fast response, stay connected well. It’s nice to get control of three devices from a single smart outlet.

Kind of a pain to have to clip off the plastic peg in the back. It was in the way and I couldn’t plug it in otherwise. It should be easily removable. The directions are faulty, the app they tell you to download is incorrect. The correct app is called “Smart Life”. I already had that app for some other devices I already own, so once I realized that thanks to another reviewer, it was quite simple to add this device. My other complaint is that the plugs are much too close together side-by-side. It’s very difficult to plug three things in altogether, especially since one of the items I needed to plug-in has a wider plug than most. I was able to resolve that by using a converter from two prong to three prong, even though my original plug was three prong to begin with. But it extended it out far enough that I was able to make it work. Alexa was easily able to discover the device and from that point programming was simple. Without the stupid plastic bag on the back, faulty instructions, and needing to jury rig one of the plugs in order to use all three, I would have given this five stars. If I didn’t happen to have that plug converter on hand, I would have only been able to use two of them. And even then it was pretty tight. hopefully this will get resolved in the future models.

I am very happy with these plugs. They are pretty reliable and work very well with Alexa. The app is also pretty handy. It lets you know power consumption statistics and has ability to create some automations. Only improvement I can think is that they don’t fit as tight as I would have accepted. But I hardly need to unplug things, so works for me.

Great smartplug for indoor with 3 individual controls with outlets and 1 always on outlet.

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.
