Easy to install, easy to use!

I love how easy these plugs are to use! Our home has no ceiling light fixture in the front room. I purchased a pendant light with the switch on the cord -- but with the way the pendant is hung, the switch is out of reach. I tried other methods of automation**, and was frustrated with the process. Enter these magical wi-fi-plugs. Setting up the Kasa app was super easy, as was linking the Kasa app/plugs to Alexa. Now all I have to say is "Alexa, turn on the front light." It's amazing! Also installed a plug with the lamp in the entry -- when I walk in the door, I tell Alexa to turn on the lamp, so I'm not fumbling around with switches while trying to get inside. I will definitely order more of these Kasa Smart Wi-Fi plugs -- next project: automating the plug-in under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen! **I had previously tried Sengled Element Classic Smart LED Light Bulbs, but the light bulbs work with a hub that is connected to your wireless router. If the hub is more than 80-150 feet away from the bulb, it will not work. This was not practical for my home, and I returned them on the same day.

These Just Work

These plugs work....that’s it, they work. All of the TP Link smart home plugs and Switches work, and work flawlessly that I can see. The Kasa app is great, works flawlessly as well. I have 8 of these so far, and they are mixed in my home with wall switches (TP Link switch and 3 way switches) to all run with Kasa app that is TP link that then works with the Alexa Amazon Echo's throughout the home. These things are truly plug and play. You plug them in, open the Kasa App, and "add device" and bam, it's super easy to follow the directions and add to WiFi in the home. Then open Alexa App on the phone and all of these TP Link items are there in the Smart Home section. It just works, and works flawlessly. The entire system, I add "Routines and Scenes" and you can do all kinds of cool things. In the Alexa App the Routines, I can turn on lights and play the weather on the Echo and then have it start music. I can say "Alexa, turn on the Accent Lighting" and it turns OFF the ones that I want off and don't think are accent, and turns on the ones I say to turn on, and it is super easy. The Kasa app also has timers as much as you want. You can set "turn on" and the time, and create as many as you want, and turn off the same. My Christmas lights indoor and outdoor were all on these indoors and the plugs for outdoors are on switches, so bam those all worked on timers there. Same with my patio outdoor lights. The "only" glitch I've had in the months of using these......I switched Broadband Providers from Uverse to Spectrum. The new WiFi router, I set up the SSID to the exact same, same password, and it "should" have all just connected and never had a glitch. After 2 hours of weirdness, and trying to reset one of them, and get the TP Link to work.....I spent more time online and realized these are 2.4Ghz ONLY. I had set up the 5Ghz Wifi to be the original. I went in and made the 2.4G the old one, and BAM, everything worked FLAWLESSLY again. So, the 5Ghz wave I made the SSID-5G and all was right with the world once again, ha. My wife said this was silliness......she also said that when I got our first DVR 20 years ago......now the DVR is full of HGTV.....and she admits these things are great.

Devices are pricey, however power savings because you’ll never forget to turn that light off!

They are very easy to install and connect. Works with Echo Dot great! No problems with Kasa switches or plugs connecting to Alexa. For apartment living I love the routines you can setup in Echo using Kasa devices. Now I’m just evaluating quality and that will take time to see how long the plugs and switches last!

Something screwy with this particular item and listing

First, I will say that I have been using other TP-Link smartplug minis and they work great with Kasa and Alexa. Very happy with those, I am. But this new pair I bought will not connect to my network with the same exact **saved** wifi settings. My wifi is set to use WPA2/WPA mixed (I have some legacy devices that need WPA) but if I switch it to strictly WPA2 these new plugs will connect... but immediately drop off if I switch the router back. Meanwhile the original pair of minis chugs along happily. These are odd items. The listing says 10 amp, like my original HS 103s, but the labels on these say 12 amp, so they are obviously different hardware... or maybe even counterfeit?? I dunno. If I were you I'd get the more expensive pair that come in an actual TP-Link box and not a plain brown wrapper. I may have to send these back. I am on hold for a chat with TP-Link now, if I learn anything useful I'll trey to update this review. Edit: I am updating this review to 5 stars. The mini plugs are actually a new hardware version and function well once the router is set to WPA2 only. I had to get rid of a legacy device on my network to do this but it was overdue to switch from mixed mode encryption to the more secure WPA2 only. The new minis (P2 hardware) also handle 12 amps instead of just 10. I am still a little annoyed that TP-Link didn't keep the new hardware able to connect on WPA/WPA2 mixed (at least on my Linksys 1900 ACR router) and that this second set of plugs bought only a few weeks after the other cost me half a day to troubleshoot when it should have take 5 minutes to install. Bottom line is if you are running WPA2 only you are OK with the new mini plug hardware version. If you are still running mixed mode you may have installation and connectivity issues. Another random observation: I installed a set for a friend with their Android phone and it was easier than with my iPhone. Android doesn't need the extra step to go connect the phone's wifi directly to the mini plug. All done right from the app. Nice.

Compact, easy to set up, and reliable. Another winner from TP-Link.

I have had good experiences with TP-Link devices in the past, so I had high hopes for these little WiFi outlets, and they didn't disappoint. 1) Setup was a piece of cake: just plug them in and use the Kasa app to configure them. You can also control these by voice if you are an Echo user -- adding them as new devices is easily done through the Alexa app. (They are also compatible with Google Home devices.) 2) They are small and unobtrusive, projecting about an inch and a half from the outlet. And because they are so compact, you CAN plug two of them in at the same receptacle, one above the other. 3) They require NO HUB, since they connect via WiFi -- this is a huge plus! 4) They are very easy to control with the Kasa app, which is well designed and fairly intuitive. You can use the app not only to turn the plugs on and off but also to set schedules so lamps or other appliances turn on and off at designated times. I have had no connectivity issues with these, and I would certainly buy them again. (In fact, I will almost certainly purchase more because I keep finding new places where these can be useful!) A tip for Echo users: I try to limit the number of different brands and makers of my smart home devices beacuse each brand typically has its own phone app and adds an extra layer of complexity to the whole setup. But inevitably you are likely to have devices from several different brands. If you like to set schedules and routines for plugs, lamps, etc., rather than using each individual brand's phone app, you can set all of their schedules using the Alexa app. This greatly simplifies things, as you can look at ONE app to see the schedules of all of your different devices.

KASA Smart Wi-Fi plug HS103P2 (2 Pk) - Easy Setup, zippy app, works great with my Orbi Home Wifi Sys

KASA Smart Wi-Fi plug HS103P2 (2 Pack) - Easy Setup, zippy / responsive app, connected easily with my Orbi Home Wifi System. I am deeply invested into my Orbi Trio-Band triple router system, but it doesn't play nice with many of the smart plugs i've purcahsed that somehow need to see a separate 2.5ghz band. (Orbi doesn't broadcast the bands seperately without some command line tweaking which I feel defeats the purpose of leaving it up to the Orbi to do its thing). These double pack of the KASA HS103P2 connected without hesitation. All is now setup and I'm also sync'd with my Amazon Echo. I'm a happy customer. Some of the cheaper plugs I purchased were just frustrating (for me) and weren't worth my time.

Getting smarter all the time.

Kudos to TP-Link for the minimal no plastic packaging. Tiny cardboard box and support structure, yet still well protected. The smart plugs work well even through walls and floors. I am very impressed with their range. Easy to set up and use and Alexa control is spot on. The Kasa app and coordination with Alexa have improved since these first came out. Amazon knows about them as fast as you can set them up with the app. I have many along with the light bulbs in multiple geographic locations and I can control them all from my phone or with any of my Echos and Dots. These less expensive H103 smart plugs are the 10 amp version rather than the 15 amp H105. If you aren't sending a lot of power through them for something like a coffee maker, then they are sufficient. I am using them right now for Xmas lights and tree (our complete display goes on and off on the programed schedule and I can manage them individually or as a group) and will repurpose them for televisions and lamps later. I have one I have named "yourself" and plug my office dot into it. Now I ask Alexa to "turn yourself off" when I make phone calls so there isn't even a chance it will record anything.

You get what you pay for with those cheaper outlets. THIS is the one you want.

I have owned a number of different "smart" switches. Of late, I had 3 different brands with 3 different apps including an IHome app that worked horribly with Alex and constantly lost connection, some that used the Smart Life app that made me nearly lose my religion trying to keep them all connected, and a light switch and outlet that use Kasa app (TP Link). The only two that worked every single time and had a mutually beneficial relationship with Alexa were the ones on the Kasa app. So after finally giving up on the others I grabbed 2 of these. PERFECT! Easy set up. No crazy needing to scan the back of the plug that is clearly plugged in so you can't scan it kind of stuff--or the press the button for 15 seconds and then press it three times fast craziness. Quick connect, and because Alexa already had my Kasa app skill, immediate recognition. Needless to say, I'm super happy! Won't use ANYTHING that doesn't work with Kasa app from now on!

Great switches but BE CAREFUL with SECURITY

I first bought a few TP-Link HS200 wall switches to control my lights. It was a pain to remove the previous switches and wire these in. But I was so impressed with their ease of set up that next time I bought the HS103/HS105 plugs. I can now control lots of my appliances via TP-Link Kasa app or Alexa (or manually). But I WORRY about the SECURITY RISK of sharing my home WiFi username/password with a Chinese company. SOMEONE, ahem, can get into my router, my PCs etc., and steal my bank credentials, or install botnets to launch malware attacks. So I STRONGLY RECOMMEND using a router that supports 2 networks. Make sure you have separate passwords for them. Use the main network for all your PCs, phones and tablets, and connect all these IOT devices to the guest one.

Cool

When my husband first bought these I was skeptical. I thought, “So expensive for a glorified timer.” Obviously I didn’t know what I was talking about and now I’ve become dependent as these handy little buggers. We have acquired quiet a few by now. Easy enough to work with & set up and Wow! I hosted Thanksgiving and went a little overboard with garlands, leaves, and fall twinkle lights everywhere. Everywhere! (Like Pier1 & Michaels partied together & vomited all over my home) Instead of reaching down and plugging things in, switching things on, setting up those ticking dial timers that nobody likes, it’s all scheduled to come on at dawn for a few hours and again around dusk till about midnight. But on overcast days when it seems a little dark in the house, I can simply say, “Alexa, holiday on!” (You can make your own command be whatever floats your boat) and BOOM! Glorious lights! Twinkling and magical all over the house! Oh, and now it’s Christmas! And now even more lights! Everywhere! The mantle, the tree, the banister, the door ways, the little mini tree in the 4 year old’s room, even the structural column that I don’t hate so much when it’s wrapped in beautiful garland and lights. BOOM! All on at the same time without having to make the rounds of flicking everything on or waking up & worrying about whether or not I turned something off. We noticed the price had dropped so we even went and bought a few more. Absolutely love them, would recommend them, and will probably buy 2 more.
