Im always amazed by affordable gadgets that serve their purpose so reliably that you forget theyre even there. This dimmer/timer works flawlessly and the phone app makes everything conveniently controllable if you want to adjust your lights. A winner!

Muy buenos

Works fine, easy set up and Alexa integration. I am using this indoors so I cannot comment on its effectiveness in outdoor environments.

Easy to use app interface it worked with no hassles just like you’d expect it to. It was easy to setup with no issues. User friendly!!!

Easy to use. Instructions are as easy as plugging in a power cord..

Below is my 3 star rating which Im changing to 4 stars now that Ive done some more investigating. I thought rain was getting into the TPLink plug and causing the GFCI to trip - but I found out it was where the lights plugged into an extension cord. I removed the TPLink plug from the outlet and plugged the extension cord directly into the GFCI outlet and it tripped. Hmm. Guess the TPLink wasnt the problem. It turns out there was water in the extension cord plug from a heavy rain. That must have been the issue with my first TPLink plug also. So, if your GFCI plug keeps tripping and youre using an extension cord, check the female end of the extension cord and see if there is some water in it. Im going to wait for it to dry completely and then use electrical tape to keep water out of the connection. For some reason there is still some current going through the string lights even when the lights are off which is why the 4 star rating rather than 5. Original review when I thought the TPLink plug was causing the GFCI to trip: This is my second purchase of this 2 plug unit. I use it to remotely control some string lights. It was easy to setup and has good wifi range. It responds almost immediately using Alexa. I have a schedule so the lights turn on at dusk and turn off at 10:00 PM. Thats the good - now the bad. I turned off the lights using Alexa and replaced a broken bulb - and got shocked while doing so. Power was obviously still flowing even thought it was supposed to be off. I also noticed that the lights wouldnt turn off all the way - they would glow faintly. The GFCI would trip frequently as would the breaker in the fuse box. I figured I had a bad plug and bought another. It has been working fine for the most part, but the GFCI breaker would intermittently trip with it also. I replaced the GFCI outlet. No help. It had been working fine for the last few weeks until we had a lot of rain the last two days. It has now begun tripping the GFCI outlet again and the breaker in the fuse box. It says its waterproof but obviously isnt. Im going to get rid of it and try a different brand. Too bad because I really like it when it works.

We wanted a wifi enabled plug to use in an unheated hen house which is about 50 behind our house and on the opposite side of the house from the router, so about 70 away. This plug works flawlessly. I set it to turn a light on at 5:30 am and off at 8:30 am, and it does just that. I can control it from my phone, using the Kasa app. We just purchased a 2nd one to control the heater in our greenhouse. It was too far from the house for the Feit smartplug which would frequently go offline. This Kasa plug works flawlessly, so if the temperature outside drops lower than expected, I can turn the heater (plugged into the Kasa plug) on from inside the house. Highly recommend this plug!

I thought these were going to work with he SmartLife app, but ended up only being able to get them to work with the Kasa app, which means that now I have 2 apps I have to use to control the lights. This is not ideal. They otherwise work as expected.

So far (only a week old) I LOVE this product! I’m using it to control a string of MARKET lights that I just installed and it’s been working flawlessly and the app to control things is very easy to understand. It dims my lights efficiently, and I have fallen in love with the timer, allowing me to start the illumination and end of the illumination whenever I care whether it’s minutes or hours.

Got this to run some outdoor string lights. It was easy to connect via the app and Alexa. It will turn on the lights and dim them as expected. I dont really use the app but it seems ok. Alexa voice control works perfectly. Seems well built but if you it is out by the time you read this I would get the KP401M for the Matter support. But this works well enough on my current Smart home setup.
