Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, Surge Protector with 6 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 3 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required , White

I live on a 20 acre parcel, we dont use passwords as there is nobody within 1/3 of a mile in any direction, and this Kasa product is prevented from joining my Wi-Fi network unless I set a password for the 35 other devices that are already on the network...now I know Kasa is trying to do the right thing, but really? Warn people about the dangers of an open network, but dont prevent me from doing it anyhow, its just dumb...hope this helps!

Simple IOT device providing remote of plugged in devices. Quick response through app because of use of wifi. Con that it requires creating an account to use. Haven’t tried controlling from outside the app though. Like feature to monitor run time and power usage.

All ports and plugs work! Perfect for me to control multiple devices! Highly recommended!

I recently received an Echo Show as a gift, and was excited to begin my foray into the world of smart products. I started with lights and plugs, thinking this would help me reduce my energy consumption. I also have ADHD, so it would help me during those times when I forget to turn things off. After having a poor experience with a highly-rated but not so great no-name brand, this Kasa smart power strip was the first time I strayed from Govee products, and I’m glad I gave it a shot. The pairing experience was easy. Their app works and is intuitive to use. It allows you to name each outlet individually, and rearrange them on the fly if you need to (useful if you unplug a few things and re-plug them back in to different outlets). Each plug has an indicator light to let you know if it’s powered on or off. Inside the app, lies my favorite feature. It actually tracks power consumption and gives you breakdowns of power use for each plug daily, weekly, and monthly. You can also view real-time power consumption for each outlet (I added a few pictures so you can see what this looks like). This helps me see where exactly my power bill money is coming from, and allow me to make adjustments if/where I can. This power strip also feels well-made - it’s certainly not your typical $5 offering at a big box store. My only gripe is that the two USB outlets do not have Smart Control features on them, and also that there are no USB-C outlets. This is probably the *only* thing that keeps me from buying more of these. I would hope that this will be updated soon, as electronics are moving towards the USB-C standard globally. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase. It’s one of the few offerings in this category on the market, and one of the only ones I felt comfortable giving a shot. I’d say it’s definitely worth a try if you’re considering, just be aware of its teeny tiny shortcomings in the USB-outlet department. I’ve had this for about 3 months and have no issues so far, but will update over time to see what the longevity of this product is like.

Didn’t realize it had a built in schedule function. Great for aquarium hobbyists.

This is fin great! Having multiple things on different schedules turning on and off makes life so much easier! Highly recommend!

Hasn’t let me down once! Tried lots of other smart plugs that would constantly not work properly. These are great! Highly recommend!!

The only thing that would make it better would be a way to have the Kasa app tell me all my energy usage on one page rather than making me tap on each plug. The app should tell me about the power usage of every monitored device on one report or its not useful. Otherwise it seems reliable enough. I use separate schedules with some of the outlets and that was easy to set up. Google Home found the new outlets and lets me control them without needing to open the Kasa app once I finished setting them up.

My entire reef tank runs on this . You can use a Kasa camera as well for live monitor . The energy usage feature is so important as I can monitor the usage as well if a device is functional or not.

This is a great, well-made product. Its very easy to setup using the Kasa phone app. The ability to name each plug and attach a photo is a nice touch. But one of the nicest features is the individual power-usage monitoring on each of the 6 outlets. You can easily look at the real-time power usage for each 0lug as well as its daily and monthly usage. 4 stars only because it would be great if it had a power-cycle feature for a plug (useful for when you need to reset power on the wireless router plugged into the device that the device uses to attach to the internet - if you power off the router, there will be no way to power it back on since connectivity is lost). One sort of clumsy work-around is to set a schedule to turn it off for a minute and then back on the next minute.
