TP-LINK - Wi-Fi Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring - White

This Smart Plug is fantastic and works like a charm! I plugged the device in my outlet, installed the Kasa app on my phone, and then followed the onscreen instructions. During the setup, you are greeted with the option to create a TP-Link Cloud Account. Though this is optional, I highly recommend creating one as you can then control the Smart Plug remotely. You may choose to skip the account registration step in the Kasa App and still control the Smart Plug through your local network using the App. However, bear in mind your mobile device and the Smart Plug need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Once you realize how convenient and flexible these devices are, you will find yourself wanting more in no time! **Pros** * No Hub is required. These Smart Plugs work with any Wi-Fi router without the need for a separate hub or paid subscription service. * Not much bigger than the very popular Etekcity Wireless Remote Control Electrical Outlets, yet it can do a whole lot more! * Built in Energy Monitoring. Most people get these types of devices for convenience and to save on electricity bills. It makes a big difference to actually be able to see the Energy usage on your devices. Not many Smart Plugs even have this feature. The energy monitoring feature seems to be very accurate too. * It does not get too hot when in use. * Reading a lot of reviews and researching online, these seems to be much more stable than the WeMo smart plugs. * Memory function. If you get a power failure, or unplug these Smart Plugs and move them to another outlet, it will save the previous settings! This is very useful as you do not have to set it up again (unlike the WeMo smart plugs!). * These can be used with a power strip, so you can control multiple items with ONE Smart Plug. * There is no lag in response when controlling the Smart Plug from your phone. * Dual voltage. This is a huge bonus as it will also work with 220-240v! Though the Smart Plug says 100-120V on the back, it has been confirmed/tested to be dual voltage. * 2 Year Warranty * Amazon Echo support - This is where the device really shines. It works natively with Amazon Echo, which allows you to use voice control/simple phrases to control your Smart Plug! * Flexibility - There are a lot of variables you can set. Time (hours and minutes, am/pm), switch action (on or off), and repeat (days of week - you can select one individual day, every day, or a combination of days). A programmed event requires two "events" in the app, a switch action "on" and a switch action "off". **Cons** * None **Other Thoughts** * A lot of people tend to complain about these types of devices covering both outlets on the wall. If this is really an issue for you, I would recommend buying a few cheap 1 inch extension cords (easily found online or in hardware stores) and then connecting the Smart Plug to that. * This unit will only connect to the 2.4GHz wireless band on your router. The reason is quite simple - Since the 5GHz band has a much shorter usable range, the 2.4GHz band makes more sense for devices like this. It also reduces complexity by not having the support for both. The 2.4GHz band will allow you to place these Smart Plugs farther away from your WI-FI router.

I recently purchased an Amazon Echo and am converting my home to a smart home. I have been purchasing these SmartPlug to control my lights and they work perfect. No need to buy a hub or anything like that. You just connect them to your WiFi, name them, discover them in your Amazon Echo app, and then you are good to go. Just say "Alexa, turn on my living room plug" (as an example) and it goes on. I have been using them for over a month now and have not had a single issue.

This product has a nice design but it is somewhat bulky for a plug. I like how I can control devices using my phone. I don't have to come to a dark home and I can turn off downstairs' light without walking down. I can also set the schedule for devices to turn on and off at specific times. I can also monitor how much power is being consumed by my computer, TV, refrigerator, etc... It also claims to work well with Echo and Alexa but I am not familiar with those products. I think HS110 is a great toy for tech savvy people who can get ton of use out of it. If you are shopping for a smart plug, you should buy HS110. It delivered everything it said it would and it was very easy to use them. This is a review of a free product received from TP-LINK as part of the review program.

I bought this to control a fan in my house for my pet. On hot summer days, since I don't have central a/c at my house, during the day when I'm at work when it's scorching hot, I am able to turn on the fan remotely for her. It's a lifesaver for her. I can move the plug anytime, anywhere, and plug other appliances into it. Super easy to setup. Took me 2 mins to setup and program. GREAT PRODUCT! Couldn't be more satisfied with this plug. My pet is very happy as well!

This is a cool product .. I can control my lights from my phone ... which is good when you are away can give the appearance someone may be home ... also it connects with Alexa echo dot .. can ask her to turn on and off lights .. very nice ....... the only think I didn't like it that on my iPad cannot download the app for tplink ... only on my phone which I don't understand... very inconvenient... not a Samsung phone either ... not good

I tried these and they worked, however, with power failure had to reset...returned and went with hue hub.

This product is very simple to set up(approximately 10 minutes to setup one device, including downloading the app). I used an iPhone and found the short instructions included with the package to be more than sufficient. The account necessary to manage the switch is quick to set up as well and does not ask for invasive details. The app details energy usage of the device controls the outlet with very little delay in speed. The whole system is 100% wireless, which is definitely nice. I found this to be everything I expected, with the added bonus of being able to track energy consumption on the outlet.

This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program. The HS110 smart is easy to set up and install. You will be able to monitor your energy with this plug from the free Kasa app you can download from the app store. You can set a schedule for the smart plug or if you are not home you can put it in away mode and it will randomly turn on/off the light for you. It is also compatible with Amazon Echo.
