Kasa Smart Plug Mini, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa & Google Home, Wi-Fi Simple Setup, No Hub Required – A Certified for Humans Device (HS105)

The KASA app functioned fine after it was set up and functioning with Alexa. I spent three hours trying to get Alexa to find the plug after it was set up. In my search on the internet and on the KASA forum, I found that there are several posts that suggest that the new app and/or firmware do not allow the plug to be used for anything other than local purposes. Earlier versions of Alexa were able to be toggled to remote usage so that it would be discovered by her. The latest version of the KASA app does not have that option. It appears that there is a new glitch with most posts starting in March. As of right now, we do not have a fix. (Yes, i have There is one issue that frustrates me the most about Amazon listing this as an "Amazon's It seems that they are being promoted because the company must be paying for it. smart plugs branded as Amazon that are easy to set up and continue to work perfectly long after purchase.

The garbage of third parties. The plug on this thing has nothing to do with Amazon. To use it, you must download a Vietnamese app from a third party, give it access to all your personal information, and give it your To use the outlets, you have to use a third-party app after taking over 10 minutes to try to connect. My main objective in having this capability is to make things easier for myself by eliminating the use of It is always an add-on to other Amazon purchases for $5 when I purchase the AMAZON plugs. Despite the fact that they sent me this useless piece of junk instead of the actual Amazon plug, I have no idea why they did so. You don't want to waste your time on it. It's.

It is important to note that if you are planning on buying this to work with Alexa, you will need to set up a separate Kasa account. This account will allow It also uses an old school configuration method which instructs you to use your cell phone to connect to the wireless network directly to set up the device for communication with the phone network when you configure it. My background makes these things seem simple to me, but the setup was incredibly slow for me. I am an IT guy, so this stuff comes naturally to me, but the setup failed several times until I restarted the device. Instead, you might want to consider the Amazon smart plug. The promotion I used made this purchase possible or I would have ordered the Alexa plug otherwise to avoid having to use.

Through the use of my browser magnification and Windows Magnifier, I am able to use the laptop with ease. However, genetics is a major issue in this case There are damaged incompetents at TP-I There is an app that you must install on your smartphone to use the Link service. The screen is so small that I can barely see it to use it You will want to set up the device, set up an account, and everything else happens In spite of having spent an hour setting up an account, I have yet to receive my account activation email. Grasp your pathetic, misbegotten, pathetically confused ramblings and throw them out! The product is an utterly out of date and poorly designed trash heap of an item. And She did her best to help me, so I don't have to worry about Amazon's rating in this instance. The Power Plant- I am blogging about this topic, and it will go on Facebook as well. Link is entirely responsible for this abortion of a product. I had both my Dots working in less than 10 minutes with zero heartburn. No one should have to go through all of this just to use a product. If you want to contact me, TP- don't bother emailing me Here's the link. I will delete everything you send, already I have wasted enough of my precious time on you. Everyone you have working on these projects deserves a punch in the nose!.

I am in awe of this machine. First off, it is huge, it only has one outlet/plug but it is an absolute Also, you need to download yet another app just to manage this one hog of outlets. The app doesn't employ anything else to make it worth the space it takes up on my phone.
The third reason why this app is expensive is because it can't compete with other apps in the same category. I have no idea why Amazon is pushing this when you really shouldn't waste your money on a single monster plug. Instead, get a Belkin or Wemo that can manage everything in your house and don't waste your time downloading yet another app for it. So I did not set it up to test it, because I have other Belkin routers that work just fine, and I didn't want to waste my time and energy.

I have no idea if it works or not, I have no idea if it does. When I got my Dot bundled with it, I kept staring at it and wondering what I should plug in. Truth be told, I'm not really sure what to plug in. Night vision is good without a lamp and I don't need to plug it in. It requires me to turn the TV or computer manually if I tried to plug it into one. The very expensive plug may be worth all the cost, but I won't know what it costs until I become the clapper commercial. My problem is partly a result of the fact that despite spending so much I was not thinking to check whether I had anything that deserved a plug. I might just list the stupid thing on Craiglist or Ebay during the holiday season. As far as I can see, it is not necessary. If I was away, I would probably set up a lamp to go on when it gets dark out or when I am out of town so that it looks like someone is home, but I'm not sure how to do that. Luckily, my neighbors keep an eye on my house, so I don't know how many people are at my house. If it was the radio, I would plug it in, however I have the Echo dots that give me the music I want to wake up Aside from my echo, I have an alarm clock that can also be used as an alarm clock, though I have never used one. My alarm clock goes off when I need to wake up, and I wake up at my appointed time. Maybe an Amazonian can share his ideas about what is worth the price of an.

As I previously gave this rating a poor rating, it has been updated accordingly. It ended up that I had to purchase a new router, as well as reset the two smart plugs that I had previously owned. In a month or two, I will monitor them again, and if they are still working I will update my overall rating. Having set up the device and having it work for a month is great. As soon as it stopped working, my computer shut down. After contacting Kasa support several times, successfully running their troubleshooting advice did not resolve the problem. I was not able to turn on the device's lights according to its specifications. In the end, I was told to contact my internet provider so they could reset my modem for me. We still have one TP-Link not working although all our other devices work perfectly fine Plug the link mini into the mini socket. I am hesitant to reset my modem for the same reason. Despite the fact that I am still well within the warranty period, I requested a replacement. TPS as follows It was a refusal to honor the warranty by Link. In the end, I will simply stop using this device and I will not purchase other TP-LINK products Here are the links to our Based on my research, I think this is a bad product backed by an inept.
