Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A, EP10, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet

Pros: Super easy and fast to set up Works well Works with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT Cons: No Apple Homekit A bit more difficult to set up Google Home than other devices This Kasa smart switch by TP-Link was a pleasure to set up. I had it set up literally in less than 5 minutes, and about as long to link to Alexa and Google Home. The set up instructions are really nothing more than a card telling you to download the Kasa app on your smartphone and adding the switch to the app. The set up is easy. As with most WiFi controlled devices, the device goes into AP mode for configuration and then into device mode for operation. Unlike other devices, and seemingly any that support HomeKit, it simply has you connect to that access point on the phone, then go back to the app. The app connects to the device and scans WiFi. You select the WiFi SSID (network name) you want, enter the password, and done. At this point the switch can be controlled from the app. To add Alexa you select the Works with Kasa option in the app, select Alexa. Then enable in Alexa, and done. Google home is a bit less direct, and a bit more clumsy than other devices, but still pretty easy. You need to go into the Google home app, add a device, search for Kasa, then log into Kasa, then configure. A few more steps, but overall not that bad. It also supports IFTTT, and Samsung Smart home that I didn't set up. It does not support Apple HomeKit. That is probably why it was easy to set up. I really would like to be able to use HomeKit, but almost nothing works well with HomeKit. The whole set up with the code mostly doesn't work, and if it does it then gets disconnected. This brings me to why I bought the Kasa in the first place. I had a WeMo (Belkin) smart switch, the equivalent product to this. I couldn't get it to connect after multiple attempts. I called WeMo support (surprisingly a human on a phone). After well over an hour I was finally able to get the WeMo to connect, then get it to connect to HomeKit, Alexa, and Google home. Great. I had the switch in an easy to access socket to set up. I unplugged it to move to where it needed to be and the WeMo stopped connecting to WiFi. After factory resetting the WeMo I was able to get it to connect back to WiFi, but as soon as it was unplugged and plugged back in, it wouldn't connect again. At this point I just gave up and ordered the Kasa based on other reviews. It was night and day to set up. Similar to the WeMo, I used an easy to access socket to set up, then unplugged it and moved it to the location where the light to be controlled is. With the Kasa, no problem. This is the same location, and the same WiFi network. The Kasa works. The WeMo doesn't. Part of the problem is HomeKit. HomeKit compatible devices use the HomeKit set up on iOS devices. Some devices sort of let you bypass this, with the WeMo being one of those devices. This is how I initially got it to connect with customer service, by connecting directly to the switch. If it fails though HomeKit recognizes the WiFi AP as a connected device for at least 15 minutes. You need to wait 15 minutes to try again. The whole thing is a mess. I really like Apple devices, but HomeKit is just way more trouble than its worth. Ironically, the only device that I've found that works with HomeKit is a Sony Android TV! That TV now controls the light plugged into the Kasa switch with Google Home. Again, the setup on the Kasa was really easy, the way it should be. The competing WeMo was hours of frustration with no results. This was the second WeMo (it was part of a 2-pack like the Kasa), and the first one was also difficult and unreliable. Unless you absolutely can't live without HomeKit, buy this Kasa. The Kasa just works.

I bought the Smart Plug to automate a few things around the house, and it's been one of the easiest smart home devices I've ever set up. The installation only took a few minutes, and it connected to my Wi-Fi without any issues. The app is simple to use, and I really like being able to turn devices on and off from anywhere. I’ve also set up schedules, so things like lamps automatically turn on in the evening and off before bedtime, which has been really convenient. Another thing I appreciate is the compact design. It's small enough that it doesn't block the second outlet, which isn't always the case with smart plugs. So far, it's been reliable with no random disconnects or connection problems. It responds quickly to commands, whether I'm using the app or voice control. Overall, this is a great smart plug if you're looking for something easy to set up, dependable, and reasonably priced. I'd definitely buy more for other rooms in my house.

Must buy, works great. Bought the 4-pack and got it because I preferred the bluelight power button. Pretty easy to setup, overall. The initial setup for the first plug and getting it to sync with my wifi was confusing at first, but the remaining three were a breeze once I my phone was fully sync with it. I used the Kasa App on my phone to control the plugs since I don't have an Echo. Both of my lamps are now scheduled to automatically turn on before I wake up in the morning and off 10 minutes after I leave the house. I also used to remote control a fan. This plug is to going come in handy once Christmas start since I will now be able to schedule when my Christmas lights turn on and off outside.

I really like how easy it is to use these Kasa smart products. I was able to plug this smart-plug in and within two minutes have it programmed to go on a dusk and go off at 10:00 PM. I could have set a timer, but when setting the lights to come on at dust, I do not have to adjust of the shift in the time of dust or any other unreasonable changes. And....the smart plug works super well. It is so easy to install, to program and to use the Kasa smart switches and plugs. The price of the smart plug is very reasonable and there are NO monthly or annual fees. You buy it, you install it, you program it and then it does the rest. I have over a dozen Kasa devices and they all can be controlled by the Kasa App on my smart phone. I cannot imagine a device that is easier to program and use. It definitely enhances our yard by controlling the landscape lighting.

I have six of these now and they are very useful even in a small apartment for automating lights, fans, and computer equipment. I live in a small studio. I use these partly to turn off my computer equipment so the LED lights don't make the room bright at night. The smart plugs themselves have their own bright LEDs, though! You can get a separate app (Watt, not Kasa) that lets you disable the LEDs (turning on "night mode"). Occasionally one of these smart plugs is hard to set up, meaning you have to work through the setup sequence a dozen times or more, resetting in between. Of six that I set up, three had this problem. Two eventually worked, but it takes a few minutes to go through the whole sequence, so you can waste an hour or more if you get a challenging one. The last one I tried to set up didn't work even after 40 tries over three days, meaning several hours of wasted effort. I happened to get a rating request from TP-Link while I was working on this. I detailed my frustrations and they helpfully offered to troubleshoot and replace the plug when it was clear that the standard process wasn't working. The process for replacement is that you first exchange several emails with them, where they ask for the serial number and other details. Once they confirm it's not working, they issue an RMA, then ask you to enter the same information you already gave them via email on their website. Then you need to notify them that you've done this, then they send you back to the website to enter your address and choose how to receive the replacement. This entails mailing the non-working plug back to them at your own cost, or choosing the "convenience" option that costs more than just buying two new ones from Amazon. They are very friendly and helpful, but the whole process takes a couple of hours over several days of back-and-forth. It definitely wasn't worth the time or effort for me — much better to just order a new one than waste so much time after already wasting hours on the initial setup. I got sucked into it step-by-step since it wasn't clear at the beginning how complex and time-consuming the return process would be. Bottom line: 1. The standard app should allow you to enable night mode/turn off LEDs (the Watt app does this, so it's definitely possible). 2. Don't bother with their RMA/Return process unless you've bought something expensive — it's a huge waste of time (although as I said they are friendly and reasonably efficient at responding at each of the many milestones in their hugely burdensome process). UPDATE: I let the company know I didn’t want to proceed with the RMA because it was too much of a hassle and they made an “exception” and sent me a return label. So really helpful service overall with a kind of clunky process. SECOND UPDATE: I finally got the replacement and was able to set it up on the first try. Everything is working fine. Again, the company was patient and kind through the whole interaction and eventually helped solve the problem.

I already had one. I just ordered 2 more. They are simple to setup and simply work. I don't use them with Alexa or Siri, just through Google Home manually or on a schedule through the Kasa app. They are very reasonably priced and work great for lamps or 3D printers too.

As someone who loves making my home smarter without breaking the bank, I recently picked up the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A. Here’s a review focusing on its convenience, ease of use, and affordability: Convenience: The Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini is incredibly convenient. Its ultra-mini size means it doesn’t block other outlets, so you can use it in tight spaces or alongside other plugs. Setting it up is a breeze – just plug it in, connect it to your 2.4G WiFi network, and you’re good to go. There’s no need for a hub, which simplifies the whole process and saves you from extra clutter. Additionally, the ability to control the plug with voice commands through Alexa or Google Home is a game-changer. I can turn my lights on or off just by asking, which is super handy when my hands are full or I’m lounging on the couch. Plus, with IFTTT integration, you can create custom automations, like setting your coffee maker to start brewing when your morning alarm goes off. Ease of Use: Using the Kasa Smart Plug is straightforward. The Kasa Smart app is user-friendly and guides you through the setup step-by-step. It took me just a few minutes to get everything configured. Once set up, you can control the plug from anywhere using the app. The app also lets you set schedules and timers, so you can automate your devices to turn on or off at specific times. The plug itself is simple to operate. The on/off status is clearly indicated by a small LED, so you always know whether your device is powered. The app’s interface is intuitive, and even if you’re new to smart home devices, you won’t have trouble figuring it out. Affordability: One of the best things about the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini is its price. For a smart plug that offers such convenience and compatibility, it’s very reasonably priced. You get two plugs in a pack, making it an excellent value for money. It’s a great way to start building a smart home without spending a fortune. Pros: Compact Size: The mini design doesn’t block other outlets. Voice Control: Works with Alexa and Google Home for hands-free operation. No Hub Required: Easy setup without extra equipment. User-Friendly App: Simple to configure and use for scheduling and automation. Affordable: Great value with two plugs in one pack. Cons: 2.4G WiFi Only: The plug only supports 2.4G WiFi, so it won't work with 5G networks. Limited to Basic Functions: For more advanced smart home integrations, you might need additional devices. Final Thoughts: The Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A is a fantastic addition to any home looking to start with smart technology. It combines convenience with ease of use and affordability. The compact design and straightforward setup make it a great choice for beginners or anyone looking to make their home a little smarter without spending a lot. If you’re looking for a reliable and cost-effective way to control your devices remotely, this smart plug is definitely worth considering.

I am much enjoying the automated services provided by my KASA and TAPO smart light bulbs, smart plugs and smart switches. I have too many in use to count, and several friends and relatives have the products all of their homes, too. One friends, who is 104 years old, enjoys opened her front door and saying, “Alexa, Let there be light!” The living room lights, including track lights all turn on. Similar in Bedroom and Office rooms. “Alexa, Good Night” turns everything off at bedtime. Recently, a new KASA smart plug failed. Brand new and all it will do it to click rapidly, and the indicator light flashes with the clicking. I got in touch with Tapo/Kasa customer service. The phone number was easy to find on their website, and Neil couldn’t have done a better job of taking the information and sending me a request for Model number/serial number and he/they will replace the failed smart plug. The smart plugs are not expensive, but very nice the company has excellent customer service agents. My original KASA products, May, 2013, one smart light bulb and 2 smart plugs are still going strong. I like the system and schedules very much! The newer TAPO app is excellent, although, the original KASA app was excellent, too. I like the new app better.

This plug is fantastic! All of the TP link Casa products have been incredibly easy to set up and work flawlessly. We have this plug on our schedule to control the illuminated sign in front of our house. We were able to set it to turn on at sunset and turn off one hour afterwards

Great little Smart Plug. Not expensive and small enough to allow you to use the second outlet. Download the Kasa Smart app from the App Store or Google Play, plug the Smart Plug into the outlet and follow the step by step instructions. Easy to follow and understand. No codes to enter and no holding your phone up to the Smart Plug. No tech knowledge needed. Using the app to connect the plug to my wifi was super simple, and setting up an automated on/off schedule in the app was a breeze. Even adding the two smart plug devices I purchased to my Google Home to enable voice commands took two minutes. I was using an iHome Smart Plug before getting this one, but it was always disconnecting from my wifi and reconnecting it was a nightmare. I got so fed up with it that I almost threw it out the window. Very happy with this purchase!

Te daré mi reseña como Streamer y también te doy consejo útiles. Este enchufe te permite controlar el encendido y apagado desde tu celular o conectarlo con alexa o Google. Yo lo he usado para encender mi 2da PC para streams desde el cel o con alexa, también para luces de jardín y actualmente lo uso para un anillo de luz muy potente y que mis espectadores puedan encenderlo a máxima potencia por unos segundos mientras juego (como una granada cegadora). TAMAÑO: Al ser un enchufe inteligente obviamente debe ser un poco grande por todo lo que lleva dentro, este mide 6cm de largo, 4cm de alto y 3 cm de ancho. La verdad es que sí está un poquito grande así que considera dejarlo en la esquina de tu multicontacto y perder un puerto (yo compré un multicontacto con 4 espacios separados específicamente para estos enchufes) mándame mensaje a cualquiera de mis redes "ElMacmado" para decirte que multicontacto es. RUIDO Sinceramente yo no he escuchado ruido por parte del enchufe ni aun estando en mi habitación en completo silencio escucho ruido, si me llegara a pegar estando en silencio creo que sí sonaría pero vamos... es casi nulo el ruido y no molesta. Lo único que no me gustó es que al encenderlo por desde la app, suena un "click" por parte del enchufe, es normal porque se activa pero suena muy hueco. CONECTIVIDAD llevo como 3 meses con él y nunca se me ha desconfigurado, es increíblemente estable y los widgets en mi celular reaccionan muy rápido. Tengo otros 2 focos inteligente también "Kasa" y los junté en una escena con este enchufe, así que cuando lo presiono se apagan todos en menos de 1 segundo. La única desventaja es que si lo apagas y lo enciendes rápido de nuevo desde la app, tarda unos 3-4 segundo en encender de nuevo (aunque haya sonado que ya encendió), pero si es desde mi PC o LUMIASTREAM esto no pasa. Aunque esto no creo que sea un problema a menos que lo quieras usar como luces de antro (que lo dudo mucho). Es muy fácil de instalar y sí te recomiendo comprarlo. Abajo te dejo un tutorial de cómo funciona. Primero necesitas conectarlo, después bajas la aplicación de "KASA" (es una verde menta), luego inicias sesión y en la parte superior derecha le picas al botón de "+", seleccionas dispositivo y buscas enchufes inteligentes, dale al que dice "Enchufe inteligente Lite/MINI (Wi-Fi)" incluso abajo dice el modelo EP10. En cuanto presiones el botón comenzará a parpadear en azul y naranja, cuando lo reconozca solo sigues los pasos para enlazar con tu wifi y listo.

Todo lo que sea TP-Link (su marca Kasa y Tapo) son excelentes. La instalación es sumamente fácil, y la integración con Alexa es sencilla. Funcionan muy bien y, en palabras sencillas, su definición es calidad, a un buen costo y que se integra muy bien con todo. 10 de 10.

Estos enchufes son muy buenos para poder controlar todo de manera inteligente por wifi, he usado los primeros por años y siguen funcionando!
