Kasa Smart Plug HS103P4, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control, 15 Amp, UL Certified, 4-Pack, White

Great idea, good price, but some flaws when using it with google home.These smart plugs are very convenient and are quite seamlessly integrated with google smart home. You can control via the home app or by voice, and you almost never have to use the KASA app after you do the initial install.We’ve used them for turning on/off lights on a daily schedule. Things with little draw are perfect for use on these rated plugs. I believe they can do 10amp?If you’re controlling something like LED bulbs or a watering system, or a fan, then you’re good! I wouldn’t recommend running a heater, or a heavier duty pump on such a device.Here’s my main grip:I installed my stick vacuum’s hanging dock/charging station with one of these smart plugs attached so i could manage when it starts a charge cycle. Let me explain: dyson vacuums have a power boost setting that discharges the battery very quickly and heats up the motor/battery assembly while using this setting. It’s not recommended that you put the vacuum on charge directly after using is on boost- it’s suggested that you wait 5-10 minutes for it to cool down before charging it. But if you’ve ever used a stick vac, you’ll know that they can’t stand on their own, nor should you leave them leaning against a wall. So the most reasonable place to put it is back on its charging dock- but then it starts charging automatically!Anyway, with a smart plug, i was anticipating having the dock be unpowered when i place the vacuum in its cradle, and then give a command “google, turn the docking station on in 10 minutes”. This way i can set the vacuum down, have it plugged into the charging station, and then allow it to cool down until the 10 minutes are up, and then start charging.Google wont allow a these plugs to be turned on using a countdown timer. I don’t know why they allow scehdules to control the on/off but not a timer? I’m also not sure if this is an issue with only this type or brand of plug. But it greatly limits my usability of it.I’m going to continue using them, but i think the software designer should work on a fix for this!

Cannot get these to setup (updating to 5 stars). *Update*Im updating my review from 1 to 5 stars. The reason I had issues setting up initially was because my wifi password is usually saved in keychain on my devices and I never have to input it manually. Because of this I did not remember my password in full and was inputting the wrong wifi password when prompted by the app. Once I figured this out everything was smooth sailing and the plugs are all setup and working just fine.Just received these and cannot setup 3 of the 4 plugs. The only semi-successesful attempt was setting up the first plug except it was a frustrating process. Once I got to the step where I had log unto my home wifi, app kept asking over and over to login to wifi even though I was already logged in.I made multiple attempts to repeatedly logon to my wifi network and the app never detected the fact that I was connected. I got fed up, closed the app, re-opened and only then plug showed up in the device list on the kasa app. I thought the process would be the same for the other 3 plugs but I have been stuck in a contineous loop for almost an hour trying to set the rest up and running into the same issue except these won’t setup at all. I have closed the app out multiple times, tried hard resetting the plugs with the power button and nothing works. I had high hopes for these, they looked decently built but the setup process has been a nightmare at least in my case.

Great product and brand but some connectivity problem with smart plug. Bought box of four mini smart plugs over a year ago and used one immediately. No problem connecting and worked seamlessly with Alexa. Extremely satisfied with options including scheduling, keeping track of time in use and other features. But when I tried to use the second one this year, could not connect. No telephone number for support. Spent an hour in chat box with tech support and it was useless. They had no clue as to what the problem was or how to solve it. Somehow, while on hold with tech chat support, it started working. Then tried to connect the third one, repeating everything I did with the second one. Spent several days with no results. Then tried turning off the TP link which is needed to communicate with plug, then turning it back on. Now it worked. Apparently, need to reload that link to cure connectivity problem. Once that was solved I now have three working plugs all doing everything I wanted plus more. It may also be necessary to discconect any vpn on your computer while trying to install this.I strongly prefer the Kasa brand. When it works (which is most of the time), it is very easy to use and provides multitudes of options. I will continue to prefer this brand in the future, notwithstanding that connectivity problem with the plugs.Note: now connected 4th plug, again turning the tp link off and then on again. Everything working.Update: same connectivity problem with Kasa switches. There is a telephone number to call for help but it is buried in dozens of pages of verbiage and fine print. Once I got through I was able to get the switches working as well. Subtracted one star for difficulty in connectivity and difficulty in contacting support, especially the difficulty in finding the support telephone number.

These work but are different from the EP25 plugs. Update 12/8/24: After adding a different TP-Link device to the Kasa app, go to the Me menu, then 3rd party, then Alexa. UNLINK Kasa from Alexa, then go back and LINK to Alexa again. Voice control of the new device now works. I looked again, and this is not in the setup instructions. Incidentally, if you change a device name, you need to unlink and link Kasa again also.Second qualifier: These HS103 plugs use a different configure/reconfigure procedure from other TP-Link devices, like the EP25 plugs which look identical but are not.These work. Easy to configure with the phone app, and easy to reconfigure when your network changes. I’ve gone through an entire Wi-Fi redo, so I can attest to the east of reconfiguring! They work with Alexa just fine, as well as with the app that provides on/off for each plus the ability to schedule several on/off sequences, selectable by day or every day.

Love Kasa products. Easy to use, we have several Kasa products. User friendly, app is great. Love the plug for lamps, you can set times for on and off different days etc. great for daily use and when away.

Easy to use solution. I bought these to help setup a greenhouse or sorts in a room in the house to help manage the lights and fan and these have been perfect. All my succulents and cacti and orchids are exploding and flowering. It’s been a really easy way to manage everything so now I can go on vacation and not worry about it. They turn on for 12 hours and then turn off.Compatibility with Android has been easy. Pairing was quick. Following the step by step process in the app was simple and worked every time. Occasionally I do turn them off before the timer is up, and I can do it from anywhere in the house.The quality of the product is right where you would want it. Easy and simple, nothing to break. The manual on/off is a nice fat square button on the side to it. There’s a blue/orange light on the side to help you determine if it’s on or off, but then the light turns off so it won’t disturb your sleep if it’s in your bedroom.Manually turning these on/off either by the app or actually manually pressing them is quick and responsive. I’ve had a few occasions where they’ve done some funny things like not turn on when the timer said it was supposed to, but I chalk that up to up Internet and wifi setup being unreliable at times.I’ve purchased these plugs multiple times now as I’ve used them up and added more items to the growing network of houseplants and even though they’re no longer in the same room, they all go in sync. I always know when it’s 9am or 9pm because lights turn off on their own. It’s perfect!

Works well.apple home easy setup. Works as expected and works with apple home instantly just need to setup in apples home app, no need for tplinks app . Tp-link routers are possible facing a ban in 2025. I’m not sure how this will affect this smart outlet but i would hold out a bit before buying. The setup code could be positioned better so its easier to scan when its plugged into a outlet.
