Amanda: Works like a charm. Fairly easy setup. You have to install an app. (Can’t remember what was involved but I know there was one stupid part in the app I got hung up on). Once you get everything figured out, you never have to go in the app again. Alexa does it all for you.

John Behring: We've had a great experience with the Kasa Smart Plug by TP-Link in our smart home setup. The device works exceptionally well and has a strong WiFi reception that seamlessly integrates into our network. Although it requires the Kasa app to be downloaded on your phone, the device performs well and delivers on its promises. While we would appreciate the convenience of a webpage login to control the device, we're grateful for the benefits it provides to our business. If you're looking for a reliable smart plug, we would hrecommend considering the Kasa Smart Plug by TP-Link.

S. McCallister: I use these plugs with Google assistant for a variety of lights and devices around the home. Of course, I have a couple of lights on them, but also a laptop and other devices. Either the TP-Link Kasa software or Google Assistant (with a Routine) can be used to set up scheduled on/off. This is not only great for lights, but if you have a laptop or other battery powered device, leaving it attached to a plugged in charger for long periods can reduce battery life over time. With these plugs I charge my laptop for a 90 minutes a few times a week, which should preserve the battery over the long term. The other thing to consider with smart devices is that you'll have to have an account not only with Google or Alexa, but also with the device manufacturer (e.g., TP-Link), so it's a good idea to pick a few brands of devices and stick to them (e.g., TP-Link smart plugs, Feit Electric smart bulbs in my house.) These often go on sale, so pick up a 2 or 4 pack if you can use them for things like holiday lights, too! The primary drawback -- common to virtually all of these -- is that it only works with a 2.4 gHz band Wifi. Since the 5 gHz band is faster and generally less crowded, it would be...

findapenny: How you connect it: download the Kasa Smart app onto your smart phone (available in the Google Play store for Android devices or Apple store for Apple devices...no PC/Chromebook/Linux options). The app will walk you through connecting to the plug, and will connect to your wifi. If you want to control the plug via Alexa/Google, then you'll connect those services through the Kasa app, then jump into Alexa/Google app and find the new devices. (I did minimal setup in the app, preferring instead to schedule everything via Alexa/Google app so that device controls/settings are all in one place.)

About the plug: there is an on/off switch on the side to manually turn it on or off. All this plug does is talk to the app and/or Google/Alexa to turn electricity on or off to the device plugged into it. It isn't "smart" beyond that; it can't tell Alexa the status of the device plugged into it or anything similar. Some devices won't retain their "on" state when they're turned off, like a computer...simply plugging in a computer won't power it on. With this type of device, the smart plug won't power it on for you, because all it does is turn power on or off.

This is what you can do...

TriceTrice: I am very happy with the Kasa Smart Plug. I bought it to replace my Wemo Mini which I have had for about 3 years. I've had problems with the Wemo as I would have to manually reset the plug and reconnect it to my network, especially when my internet goes out and comes back. I've been using the Kasa plug for about a week now and have had no problems with it. My internet has gone out several times and I even had to reset my router modem to factory defaults. After I put back in the same SSID and password that I used before, I didn't have to set back up my Kasa. It automatically reconnected.

As you can see from the pictures, the Kasa plug is shorter than the Wemo. My Wemo plug overlapped the wallplate but the Kasa is about the same width as the wallplate. I like that the button is on the side as well. Setting it up was very easy. There are no instructions in the box but on the box (see pic). I simply downloaded the app and followed the prompts. The app did seem to get stuck when it was connecting the plug to my network so I had to close the app and open it back and then it connected quickly. I also love the app interface. It is clean and I love the way the graphics...
