I have multiple of these. They work great. I mainly use them for scheduling and auto shutting off things like TVs and lights. The setup is super easy in there app. And the scheduling and timer are also very easy to set. You can also rename all the plugs and the area and "Home/location" very easily to organize if you have multiple outlets. There is also a favorites section that you can stick your most used plugs into to make it easier to find if you have a lot of plugs. The price is a little more than normal power strips with surge protection. But to get the smart features it's more than worth it and I think a good value. It's also Alexa and Google Home compatible. I recommend getting the strip versus the individual plugs because it's more economical and always better to have more outlets than less. Read more
After adding this to the Tapo app i was able to link the account to Home Assistant. Each of the 3 outlets can be used independently in HA. Its also very quick and responsive in HA. The strip was bigger than i was expecting. This is not really an issue, it was just unexpected. On the plus side, with the larger size the outlets are spread apart which allows larger plugs to fit next to each other. I am using this outside in a waterproof box to control our holiday inflatables. With the larger size of the strip I did need to get a larger box to fit the strip. Again, not an issue, just something to be mindful of. Even with the strip outside in a box it has been reliable and has had no connectivity issues. Read more
Smart plugs are a necessity if you don't have a smart bulb, which can get costly very quickly. I live by Kasa smart plugs for outlets in my home that don't have a smart bulb! They're so convenient and easy to set up in the app. I purchased this one for my office to auto turn-on my lamp in the early morning, but also have options to control other plugs (e.g., charger, heating pad, etc.). They don't overheat, and provide a safety mechanism because you can shut off the power if you think you've forgotten to unplug something. The price was definitely worth the money for convenience, peace of mind, and versatility. Read more
Works amazingly there’s no setup if you don’t want to setup the WiFi connectivity works straight out of the box. USB ports stay on so you don’t have to toggle them on and off so it’s perfect for your phone or other devices. Read more
Working like it should I use it in my entertainment stand to turn on lights and fans in the cabinet I’ve have other plugs single plugs of this brand so not to have so many smart apps I got this because the app is user friendly, easy to set up & it was easy to connect to my Alexa and works well with it and the other plugs worked so well I figure why not try this and Wala it works like it should I think it’s a tad expensive tbh but again you pay for what you get and this is good quality and it works well with a good user-friendly app so worth it I guess so but still wish it was cheaper I wish the cord was longer though and it was a flat head plug but it’s still a good power strip all in all Read more
Great product you can adjust the lighting turns on as you approach Read more
I use this to reboot soundbar tv and roku when it gets buggy. Usually the soundbar doesn't respond. Since the power for these 3 items are hidden, it is easier to reboot from the app which seems to clear the problem. Easy to set up in app and then establish in Google home. Wonderfull product Read more
Love these! Have several. Easy & fast to set up. Phone app is easy to set up & control remotely. Adapts to Alexa easy as well. Can be set up on a schedule. Lasts for years. Only negative is - occasionally after a long power outage it may require a re-connection, but thankfully it’s easy. Read more
