“Hello, New to the smart home concept so forgive the basic question. Will this control appliances, ceiling fans, etc if those appliances are not "smart" as well? Want to know if this w/echo plus will control my non smart appliances? Thank you”

Smart plugs operate by allowing or restricting the flow of electricity to an appliance that would normally be plugged into a power outlet. As such, we suggest using appliances that support turning on as soon as they are plugged into a power outlet. Please ensure the appliance in use does not exceed the smart plug's electrical load rating. Our smart plugs do support Alexa/Echo integration, so you can conveniently control the smart plug using your voice. Regards, TP-Link Support

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This will allow you to turn on and off most devices (smart or not). I've found that the device must have a mechanical switch that stays in the on position (like a lamp; you leave the switch on and turn the lamp on and off using the Kasa app or Alexa). I haven't been able to get devices that have electronic switches to turn on using the smart switch.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It can control anything that is connected to an electrical outlet, except ceiling fans. You place the smart plug to a wall electrical outlet and program it on their website. Command it with echo or dot and you can control a lamp connected to that outlet. I use it for lamps and stand fans.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is rated to control small appliances. Ceiling Fans not so much as I am not aware of ceiling fans that plug into a wall socket. Be careful there is a "Lite" version of this plug which is only rated to control lights.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A smart device only controls compatible smart items. Simple answer to your question is no.
