There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I then bought 2 more to connect my living room main light and an additional lamp. Flash forward to this year with the onset of the Christmas season. Because I go all out for Christmas, decorating my entire downstairs and part of the upstairs, I had one goal in mind—to control ALL of my Christmas lights on both levels through my Echoes and dots, which means going through my Krasa app. To accomplish this, I purchased a few more of these smart plugs in the 2-packs (which are slightly cheaper than buying them individually). I used the Krasa app to add them to my current setup, gave them a short name so I'd know which was which, then I used the Alexa app to discover them all. I presently have 8 of these around the house in various places, with Christmas lights, animated figurines, even my main Christmas tree all plugged into these smart plugs. I did this with the help of extension cords and a power strip that are used to accept the plugs of all the aforementioned lights and figurines, etc. The power strips are at the end of the chain and get plugged into the TP Link mini-plug. Then on the Alexa app I place all of these mini-plugs into one group entitled, quite simply, "Christmas lights." When I want to turn them on, I now simply say, "Alexa, turn on Christmas lights," and instantly, all the lights, figurines, and the Christmas tree are on. I use a similar command to turn them all off. No more running around to all the different outlets, bending down, maneuvering around tight spots or Christmas decorations that are placed to hide the outlets, plugging and unplugging everything. My entire house can now be all controlled with one command to Alexa.
I should point out that for me, the setup of these mini-plugs to my Wi-Fi network took less than 1 minute per plug, if that; and connecting them to my Krasa app (the app used with these devices) also took less than 1 minute. Ditto for getting them set up in the Alexa app. Total for each device's complete, individual setup was about 2 to 3 minutes.
Final but very important note here: if you have an old Wi-Fi router or a weak signal in some parts of your residence, the latter of which is common if your router is placed a bit of a distance from your mini-plugs, you will probably experience connection issues when trying to set up or use these devices. In all seriousness, if you're going to even have an Echo or Dot, you really ought to seriously consider spending the money to upgrade your Wi-Fi router, and this might include buying a setup like the Netgear Orbi, which is THE best system to give you powerful and strong Wi-Fi in a large home of 3 stories, for example. Extenders aren't that good. The Orbi is uniquely different. My Wi-Fi router is a year old, has 4 antennas on it, runs all the wireless bands, and was placed by me in the center of my house, providing a very strong signal to all my various devices, of which there are plenty.
Lastly, it's also good to have a reliable and fast Internet service. After having Comcast for so long, where I had their fastest service at the time, when I moved into my newly constructed house in summer 2016, I went a different route. Comcast was wired for my new subdivision, but they didn't even realize it! Because they argued with me about this, telling me they couldn't provide more than 100 megs download and 25 megs upload, I decided to go with AT&T, which had installed fiber optic lines along their entire paths. They hooked me up right when I moved in, and I'm getting 1GB download AND upload on my wired main PC, while I'm getting anywhere from 700 to 900 megs download and 700 to 900 megs upload on my wireless connections (wireless will always be a bit slower than wired). This absolutely blows away Comcast, and at a lower price! More importantly, however, these speeds provide for far more reliability and performance with my TP Link smart plugs and smart bulbs, which I also have.
Pros:
- Does not block the other plug on an outlet! This was important, especially in older homes where outlets may be limited.
- Easier than installing smart switches, dealing with grounded switches, etc. It is all plug and play
- Very Fast response! I have seen other brands take upwards of 30 seconds to respond. I tell Google or use the TP Link Kasa app and within 3 seconds or sooner the plug responds.
- No Hub required, it uses WiFi, which is probably why it has a fast response.
- Set a schedule to turn on/off, or vacation mode. Besides a specific time of day, you can use Sunrise and Sunset per your location
- Set a timer, so it turns on/off after "x" amount of time
- Has runtime reporting in the Kasa App for Today/Past 7 Days/Past 30 Days for the number of hours the device has been on
- 15 Amp rating or 1800W at 120V so you can plug in space heaters and lamps
- Installation and setup is easy. The pairing process with the app walks through the setup. Integration to Google Home was as simple as signing into and giving access to your TP Link Kasa account for control through Google Home. Took maybe 4 minutes.
Cons:
- Need to have 3 pin outlets. I rented at a place that we had to upgrade the outlets to 3 pins, it is more safe to have the ground especially for space heaters or things with a high load.
- Relies on lower frequency WiFi. So the plugs us a 2.4Ghz WiFi band, not a 5Ghz band. Most smart devices use the lower spectrum, so it is not a big deal, unless your router is only a 5Ghz WiFi router. Most routers have both frequency bands. Could be problematic depending on your home layout and building materials along with your network setup.
These smart plugs are part of my daily routine. I have them connected to lamps that help me wake up in the morning, turn on at night, run fans in the summer, christmas lights (indoor) and a heater in the winter. I feel more safe knowing I have lights on at home when I am away, I can schedule space heaters that are not always on, and I can integrate with my phone and smart home.

It is unfortunate that neither Rogers or TP-Link's customer service were able to recognize this solution. I found it on the internet. Maybe these new dual band modems need both bands identified at set-up. Maybe TP-Link should upgrade the plug or have the above solution in their customer service repertoire.
After setting up the plugs with the TP-Link KAZA app, only a few minutes each, I then opened up my Google Mini app and added the 2 new plugs to my Google environment. Again only a few minutes. I now controlled two lights in my living room. There were no issues with lag time or disconnects.
I then ordered two additional plugs and the set up was only a few minutes. No issues with any of the 4 plugs over a few weeks so I ordered the last two plugs, set them up and now control the lighting in my condo through Google Mini. I may find a few other uses down the road and won't hesitate to purchase the same plugs or some other
TP-Link smart product. Hopefully the price will start to come down but at this point in time they are good value.
Since the plugs are short and wide, you can use both outlets on the wall. We used one for the mini tree which was plugged into a power hub. For the big Christmas tree, a prelit tree with 12 plugs to connect, we put the smart plug into the wall and plugged a power bar into it with all the stacked plugs from the tree. Both set ups worked excellently.
These were easy to set up and the app works really well. I could set up routines within the Kasa app to turn my tree lights off and on at specific times, including a "good night" scene that would turn both plugs off at the same time. The app responded with no delay and using Alexa worked the same (other than when I'd say "Alexa turn on mini tree" I'd occasionally get an answer about 3 trillion trees). It was really magical to come downstairs in the morning to see the trees all lit up :)
The one thing that might be a draw-back for some people is that there is an audible click when they turn off or on (it reminds me of the old school timers from the 80's). I have an open concept main floor and I could hear the clicks if I was on the same floor, but not if I was upstairs. If you were thinking of getting these for the bedroom to turn on your bedside lamp to help you wake up in the morning, it would startle you.
One acts as a plug switch for my Samsung Android tablet (the main brain that controls entire operation), and when the battery level on the tablet is below 20%, it turns the plug on, charging the tablet. When the battery hits 100%, the plug is shut off, extending the life of the tablet battery by not having it on the charger 24/7.
I discovered a code you can send to actively control them (no status info though), turning them on or off as desired, bypassing the Kasa server, leaving full control within your LAN.
They work great. I haven't had any major issues with them related to the product themselves. Some of them (the exhaust fans) go on and off upwards of hundreds of times a day and have been doing so for 2 or 3 years now. They all work great, other than the occasional network issue, which is typically not their fault.
Of course, if you want to control them without Tasker automation, you can also set them to turn on/off within Kasa based on time schedule, countdown or random.
And they integrate with my Alexa.
I highly recommend them if you need switch control.
