Easy, fast setup. Works well.
Pros:Super easy and fast to set upWorks wellWorks with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTTCons:No Apple HomekitA bit more difficult to set up Google Home than other devicesThis Kasa smart switch by TP-Link was a pleasure to set up.I had it set up literally in less than 5 minutes, and about as long to link to Alexa and Google Home.The set up instructions are really nothing more than a card telling you to download the Kasa app on your smartphone and adding the switch to the app.The set up is easy. As with most WiFi controlled devices, the device goes into AP mode for configuration and then into device mode for operation. Unlike other devices, and seemingly any that support HomeKit, it simply has you connect to that access point on the phone, then go back to the app. The app connects to the device and scans WiFi. You select the WiFi SSID (network name) you want, enter the password, and done.At this point the switch can be controlled from the app. To add Alexa you select the Works with Kasa option in the app, select Alexa. Then enable in Alexa, and done.Google home is a bit less direct, and a bit more clumsy than other devices, but still pretty easy. You need to go into the Google home app, add a device, search for Kasa, then log into Kasa, then configure. A few more steps, but overall not that bad.It also supports IFTTT, and Samsung Smart home that I didn’t set up.It does not support Apple HomeKit. That is probably why it was easy to set up. I really would like to be able to use HomeKit, but almost nothing works well with HomeKit. The whole set up with the code mostly doesn’t work, and if it does it then gets disconnected.This brings me to why I bought the Kasa in the first place. I had a WeMo (Belkin) smart switch, the equivalent product to this. I couldn’t get it to connect after multiple attempts. I called WeMo support (surprisingly a human on a phone). After well over an hour I was finally able to get the WeMo to connect, then get it to connect to HomeKit, Alexa, and Google home. Great. I had the switch in an easy to access socket to set up. I unplugged it to move to where it needed to be and the WeMo stopped connecting to WiFi. After factory resetting the WeMo I was able to get it to connect back to WiFi, but as soon as it was unplugged and plugged back in, it wouldn’t connect again. At this point I just gave up and ordered the Kasa based on other reviews. It was night and day to set up.Similar to the WeMo, I used an easy to access socket to set up, then unplugged it and moved it to the location where the light to be controlled is. With the Kasa, no problem. This is the same location, and the same WiFi network. The Kasa works. The WeMo doesn’t.Part of the problem is HomeKit. HomeKit compatible devices use the HomeKit set up on iOS devices. Some devices sort of let you bypass this, with the WeMo being one of those devices. This is how I initially got it to connect with customer service, by connecting directly to the switch. If it fails though HomeKit recognizes the WiFi AP as a connected device for at least 15 minutes. You need to wait 15 minutes to try again. The whole thing is a mess. I really like Apple devices, but HomeKit is just way more trouble than its worth. Ironically, the only device that I’ve found that works with HomeKit is a Sony Android TV! That TV now controls the light plugged into the Kasa switch with Google Home.Again, the setup on the Kasa was really easy, the way it should be. The competing WeMo was hours of frustration with no results. This was the second WeMo (it was part of a 2-pack like the Kasa), and the first one was also difficult and unreliable. Unless you absolutely can’t live without HomeKit, buy this Kasa. The Kasa just works.

Perfect for Automating Reptile Lighting Schedules
I recently purchased the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A 2 Count (EP10P2) and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. As someone who has a few reptiles, including ball pythons, it’s essential to maintain a consistent lighting schedule for their health and well-being. These smart plugs have been a game-changer in automating their light schedules.The ultra-mini design of the Kasa Smart Plug fits easily into a single outlet without blocking adjacent ones, which is a big plus. Setting up the plugs was a breeze, taking just a few minutes to connect to my 2.4G WiFi network using the Kasa app. The app is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to schedule the lights for my reptiles. I linked the plugs to my Alexa devices without any issues, allowing for convenient voice control.The reliability of the connection has been outstanding. Despite using 2.4G WiFi only, I haven’t experienced any drops or connectivity issues. The scheduling and timer features in the app are perfect for ensuring that my reptiles get the proper light cycles without any manual intervention. This ease of automation has brought peace of mind and has been a significant upgrade from manual timers.Overall, I highly recommend the Kasa Smart Plugs for anyone looking to add smart functionality to their home, especially if you have pets that require strict lighting schedules. Its compact size, ease of use, compatibility with major voice assistants, and reliable performance make it a worthwhile investment. I’m looking forward to expanding my smart home setup with more Kasa products.

Very good timer
This is the second set of two that I have purchased. They work great. I like the sunset/sunrise feature in that it keeps track of the daily shift, no need to continuously adjust the time. It can be a challenge to initially get them connected to the Wi-Fi network, but once you do, the set up is simple.

Great product!
These smart plugs are great! I have multiple of them, controlling things from lights to fans. I have one for my plant grow light setup that has a schedule on it, one for another light that I use with Google assistant/home, and another for a box fan that I turn on using Google/the app as needed. Overall, they are super easy to set up with the app, connect easily to WiFi (getting the MAC address was a struggle for those WiFi networks that are whitelist-locked using the MAC address), and are compatible with Google home and Alexa but also work very well on their own with the app. When turning them on/off, there is a slight click, but I find it useful as it gives me confirmation that it was turned on/off.The only reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because of one issue. This product is *only* capable of working over WiFi. At my house, I am able to use it, as I can add it to my WiFi with the MAC address, however, when I am using these in my college dorm, they are as good as manual switches unless you already had a schedule set up. They do not connect to my school WiFi, but their schedule functionality works independently. I wish this product would also have Bluetooth capabilities, allowing them to be controlled by my phone within Bluetooth range, such as some other smart products.Other than that, I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to automate things like Christmas tree lighting, fans, lighting in general, and more.

Todo lo que sea TP-Link (su marca Kasa y Tapo) son excelentes. La instalación es sumamente fácil, y la integración con Alexa es sencilla. Funcionan muy bien y, en palabras sencillas, su definición es calidad, a un buen costo y que se integra muy bien con todo. 10 de 10.

Nice small timer that is easy to program and can be used manually by pushing the button if you need to turn it on or off at another time
