Kasa Smart Plug KP200 In-Wall Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa Google Home IFTTT No Hub Required

I installed the Kasa KP200 to control the string lights on my deck so I can turn them on and off with Alexa instead of flipping a manual switch. Voice control is instant and reliable — no lag, no disconnects, it just works. The second outlet runs a bug zapper, and the dusk-to-dawn automation is perfect for that so it’s not running 24/7 unnecessarily. Nice to have automation where it makes sense without overcomplicating things. Both outlets are independently controllable, the app is straightforward, and it installs like a standard outlet. Build quality feels solid and it’s stayed connected without any babysitting. Important note: if you’re installing this outdoors, it needs to be in a proper weather-proof box. If hardwiring an in-wall outlet outdoors isn’t an option, Kasa also sells an outdoor-rated plug-in smart outlet that works with an existing receptacle and does the same job. Reliable, practical, and actually useful in the real world. No gimmicks. Read more

Let me start by saying that I have purchased MANY KASA products over the years. I’ve purchased several of these outlets and I’ve also purchased several of the plugs as well. You just can’t beat KASA. These outlets are excellent quality and extremely easy to install. My Husband has installed so many of these around our house at this point that he can have one installed in about five minutes. I really think KASA stands out above their competitions for a couple of reasons. First, pricing. They run sales ALL the time. Their pricing is lower than a lot of their competitions while not sacrificing quality. Second, quality of the products. Every item I’ve purchased from this company has been excellent quality and worked flawlessly out of the box. I’ve never had a KASA product malfunction. Some of the plugs I’ve had from this company for over five years now and they’re still working as well now as the first time I plugged them in. Thirdly, and the most important in my opinion is ease of use. Their user interface on their app is EXTREMELY user friendly. There isn’t a bunch of bells and whistles that’s true, however I just need these to do a job, do it well, without a bunch of hassle in setting it up and programming it. KASA definitely delivers there. Their app is so easy to use. It guides you step by step on initial set up. After that the app is extremely user friendly and makes it easy for you to program, sort and organize all your devices. It also works flawlessly with my ALEXA devices and I’ve been able to turn on and off all my KASA plugs and outlets with my ALEXA devices with zero issues. All in all you just can’t go wrong with this company. KASA does a job, does it well, while making the experience easy to use all at a fair price. I’m definitely a fan. Read more

From solid experience using many Kasa smart devices, dimmers, switches and outlets, I am totally convinced that they are the best, easiest to install and connect to WiFi and most reliable smart home devices ever. Customer support is very helpful and friendly. Once I had a little difficulty to connect a dimmer to WiFi, it took customer support 5 minutes to help me connect it and gave me a valuable tip to make connecting any devise, not just Kasa but any smart home devices ever, to connect a smart home devise the cellular data has to be off temporarily until connection is successful. I rank Kasa (TP-Link) smart products, as #1. Read more

I highly recommend the Kasa brand. I’ve tried them all, Gosund, Leviton, you name it. I’ve had smart home technology and products in my home for about 8-9 years now. When I first started I had a few Kasa products, and in our last remodel project, we converted everything to Kasa. We’ve had no trouble with it dropping WiFi or acting up at all. Always works as designed. We have smart plugs, smart switches, and the plug in portable indoor and outdoor smart plugs and power strips. We have even used these indoor rated ones inside a waterproof exterior outlet cover outdoors as well. These are awesome for powering lamps and accent lighting above art or holiday lighting like Christmas trees, lights, garlands and more. We even use ours to control little floor fans and scentsy warmers. They were also a good solution for my closet glass cabinet accent lighting. I had the plug in style cabinet lighting. I hid the I outlet up high in the cabinet and used one of these smart plugs. Then I synchronized the plug to turn on every time the Kasa closet light switch was turned on when we walked in. That way I just turned on one light and the devices were synced. There are so many ways to be creative with these! Each plug is allowed a different name and works independently. It can be controlled by Alexa and Google Home perfectly! Keep in mind, you first have to install the Kasa app to set them up originally and connect them to your home WiFi network, then you can add the device to your Alexa or Google Home network. I’m sure it works fine with Apple Home or others too; they just aren’t in use at my house. If you’re having any trouble adding the device to Alexa, don’t forget you have to first enable the Kasa skill in your Alexa app. That syncs your Kasa account to Alexa and gives it permission to see and control all of your Kasa devices. I love these so much, I’ve bought them for my brother and dad for their homes too. They use them for snow villages and bedroom lamps. There are lots of uses. The sky is the limit. Mine have lasted so far at least 8 years. I run an occasional update in my app…less than once a year per device. They last and stay current for years. Unlike buying smart bulbs that die out with time. Read more

Product works great. Easy to install IF you know what you’re doing, don’t do it if you’re not sure. Very nice to be able to shut off and have a timer. The faceplate that came with it did not work for me, as the wall wasn’t perfectly flush so it would not snap on. I had to modify it to work. And also make sure you have really good WiFi to use this or it will not work well Read more
