Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, I have 3 Kasa Smart plugs already (the 105 models) and plenty of their lightbulbs (which are great), with which I have never had any issues during set up. I assumed using the Apple "Home" app was *optional* with this plug, so I bought it thinking I might use in the future. It is not. There is no way to skip this step during set. You **must connect it to the Home app or exit setup**. Those are your options in the Kasa app. Furthermore, it asks you for a code, which was not on the box or on the paper documentation inside the box - it was on the UNDERSIDE of the plug itself. So now the plug has to be plugged in and you want me to scan the code? Good luck. Ok, I took a photo of the QR code and used that so I could keep the Kasa switch plugged in. Should work now, right??? Nope. Took multiple tries, make sure you are on the right wifi bandwidth... and finally got it set up. The old plugs were SO much easier to set up and I am opting not to use the Home app, so why can't I just skip that part or set it up later? Annoyed. This was the only one in stock at BB, but I didn't realize "with Homekit" meant "ONLY with Homekit". If you are a dedicated Homekit user, this shouldn't be so bad - but realize the code may not be on the box, but on the underside of the plug instead - so write the code down or take a pic before plugging in. Dumb.

Product is easy to use and setup.... unless you have an Iphone because Apple loves to make things difficult. For Android, you need to dload the Kasa app, connected the devices, then connect the GoogleHome app to the Kasa app which takes all but 1 minute. For Apple LOL.... you need to dload the Kasa app, then connect the devices to the Kasa app, then dload the iFTTT app and manually connect and program triggers for each device in the iFTTT app and connect it to the Kasa app. Note that unless you pay for FTTT pro, you can't do grouped devices. For Example, if I wanted to turn off all of the lights in my bedroom, I would have to program triggers to turn them off 1 at a time. EVEN IF in the KASA App they are grouped. Oh but we aren't done yet, right Apple?, then after Device -> Kasa -> iFTTT, then you need to dload the Shortcuts App, get the contents of the URL and add it to your iFTTT scripts. Then you go to your settings and connect to Siri and manually record your trigger commands. Oh, last thing.. the smart outlets or any TP-Link smart devices can only be connected to 1 Kasa app account at a time... so.. if you don't live alone or if you have housekeepers, dog sitters, whatever, either only 1 phone can be used to control the devices or you need to give your account, password, and essentially access to your network to whoever wants to walk around with lights on in your house. I guess lights are a privilege.

Really good, especially being $10. Connected with Alexa with ease. Will purchase more in the future.

Nicest smart plug I’ve ever had, actually works compared to its competitors

This is an awesome find. You control the power on and off through your phone. You can also set a timer through the app. I used this for my Christmas tree lights.

Working well , can have my tea/coffe ready for the morning , can be easily controlled for the app.

Compatible with my Google Home setup and perfect for our lamps when in need of lighting walking into a dark home.

Setup with Kasa app in seconds and now I have a convenient way to control the hot water heater.

Allows you to turn practically any device in your home into a smart device via Apple HomeKit. Great budget alternative to smart plugs especially with this two pack. Installation may be difficult for some but once it’s all set up you won’t have to worry about it again unless you move or change WiFi networks.

Easy to use and set up I am also saving energy every time I am out of the house

Excellent product. Highly Recommended. It is quick and works flawlessly. Have never failed to respond.

Took a couple tries and finally just manually plugged in code on back of device. Works well since set up.

Fantastic item. Great to use. Easy to use when you have an idea of what you are doing.

Best gadget going. Can start coffee from google home, alexa or app on phone before I get up in morning or enroute home.

Very easy to set up through the app. Perfect for a little added security when out of town.

I used this for some accent lights in my home so they would turn on & off, it worked great

Works perfectly with HomeKit and helps control the lights

Good product for a great price! I would recommend this product and is ability to produce the end result of have the control at your finger tips.

WORKS LIKE A CHAMP. DIDNT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD WORK FOR US BUT HAS BEEN A SUPER HELPFUL ITEM IN OUR HOUSE.

These are great once they’re installed, but one of them needed a reset before it was on Home Kit.
