I am so happy with this product. I purchased outdoor smart plugs from another manufacturer. They will hard to pair & connect to my router and the app never worked correctly--so I've returned them. The Kasa Outdoor Smart Plugs immediately connected to my router. The Kasa App works perfectly and could not have been easier to program. And more importantly, everything works as they should! Note that I have other Kasa products and they also work great. Read more
Kasa makes great smart plugs and dimmers and this one does not disappoint. I have the in-wall switches as well, and the software is among the best I've used. fully compatible with Google Home and responsive to voice commands but what I really like is the ability to set an on/off timer to turn at sunset at the brightness I want, and to never worry about re-setting throughout the year. This is my second purchase of this item. It controls my string cafe lights perfectly. Read more
Product: Kasa / TP-Link Outdoor Smart Plug, single outlet, model KP401 Gist: overall I like it and would get it again although I'd actually get the one with 2 plugs instead Good: Kasa Smart app works good, the Kasa/TP-Link products are good quality and good function with the Kasa App or the Alexa App and Echo devices, actual setup of the plug was very simple and easy - just select it in the Kasa app and then go into Alexa and it already has it ready to go without even doing anything. Not so good: you have to have the Kasa Smart App on your phone, you need a username and password, the unit is not waterproof - it is weather proof - that means no direct water contact I'm pretty sure. It is designed to be plugged into the outlet and for the unit to hang down by the cord about 7 inches with the actual socket facing the bottom. That way rain will not enter, just run off the sides. Just keep that in mind when determining if this style plug will fit into your scenario. Details: My first smart plug was a Kasa/TP-Link product that I purchased off Amazon in 2017 and in 2024 it is still operating perfectly with Alexa/Echo so I expect this item will also last a few years. Since I already had a Kasa account setup in 2017 all I had to do was login and add this new device. Well, I haven't accessed that account since 2017 and haven't had the Kasa app on my phones since then either. I've just been using the Echo devices to control my Kasa devices ever since initial setup years ago. So here is the process for me to setup this device: First: Like most smart devices you need the 2.4 GHZ band of your internet router to be active along with the 5 GHZ all the time. 1. download the Kasa Smart App onto my phone (I ditched Apple so I use the Android version now) 2. open the Kasa App - it will want a login before anything else can be done. If you have an existing account and don't know your username or password then just click recover option and it will send a link to your email it has on file. Use the link to reset the password. I actually had my password written down but I think since its been years since I logged in it was disabled and that's why I had to do the reset. 3. After you login to the app, just click the plus sign for add device and scroll through the types to select your Outdoor Plug and then the KP401. 4. Assign a group or routine in the Kasa App if you want 5. Once you're done with the Kasa app if you go into the Alexa app it should be already setup and ready to use. I didn't give it 5 stars because everything can always be better and I think the amount of cord this hangs by should be shorter. For some reason they didn't think so. It works well but looks a little clunky in my patio scenario. Read more
I have several of these. They all work great. Easy to set up and full compatible with Alexa. I set up Alexa routines to turn my Christmas light on and off. Reliability has been good, rain or shine, summer and winter. Read more
works great so far. has disconnect like the other one I had. I just set this one up and so far it hasn't disconnected from Wifi. Easy setup for timer for my lights around that pool. Price is not bad either. Read more
