I was looking to get more smart plugs to go with my existing Kasa smart plugs HS100 that I got several years ago. Reading some of the reviews from 2019 it says that these slim plugs aren’t compatible with the existing app and you have to download another one. However the app version must have been upgraded since 2019 as the slim plugs are fully integrated in my Kasa app on my iPhone. Glad they do as I was looking at having to purchase the old HS100 plugs if they weren’t compatible, which are more expensive now. The app itself shows the list of products that will work through the app. These slim plugs are easy to install and work perfectly. Great value for money.

These new slim versions of the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug are really neat. They work just as well as their older (bigger) brother. I use both the old version and the newer slim versions throughout the house and really love them. So they almost score top marks. There's just one little design flaw that has always bugged me. In most of the rooms in my house I have double sockets with USB ports. They're great, and very common these days. They allow you to charge your devices (such as mobile phones etc.) without taking up a socket for the USB to mains adapter. The problem is that these Kasa smart plugs obscure the USB ports and make them completely unusable. I'd love for TP-Link to redesign them so that they plugged into the wall socket upside-down to how they do now, meaning they protrude downwards, not upwards. This would allow me to be able to use the USB ports when the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi plugs were in the wall sockets. So, for that reason they drop to 4 stars.

Very useful and easy to use piece of technology.. Installation is very simple if you just follow it step by step. But you have to remember to let it run on its own Wi-Fi network first, You log onto its network and then you can change it over to your own network. This is the second lot of these plugs we bought, we were so impressed that it got us through an emergency where we all needed to be able to turn the water pump on and off from different parts of the house.. it’s more used for heaters and putting on electric blankets at the moment. An absolute bonus for anybody who is either bedbound or has mobility issues too. Turning things off and on without getting up is has been a real help when I’ll. The regular timers are good but best is the auto off timer which means if I forget to turn the attic heater off it goes off after set time. Good when the plug is in an awkward place too. No reaching behind tables etc to turn switches off. I like that it’s not buying new smart things but can convert old electrical plug in items into smart tech.

I now have 3 of these smart plugs, they are much more compact than some others so look alot tidier. Easy to setup following the instructions and once done, never had any issues at all connecting with them through the app. I have also been able to set timers on them too. Can also turn them on or off on the Google home app. I have my sky box plugged into one, so that it's easy to reboot it without having to get behind the TV to pull the plug. Only thing to note is that if you have a plug socket with built in USB power, it will cover the port on the side it's plugged in so will make the USB port unusable. However, I think you will get this with all smart plugs. Just something to be aware of.

Ease of installation, size of plug and the Kasa app make Kasa the best option for Smart plugs. Having struggled to get plugs that actually work with Apple Home I switched to Amazon and Alexa. The Alexa app has its faults and also difficulties in setting up Alexa devices but Kasa was no problem at all and links easily to Alexa. Amazon should use Kasa to sort out the connectivity problems Alexa has when adding Echo Flex etc.

Used several of these for automating the control of festive lighting. Outside lights set to come on automatically at sunset and off at a set time. Indoor lights in multiple rooms all turned on and off at the same time by activating a ‘scene’. Works perfectly. I have another of these controlling an electric heater in a conservatory where we sometimes need a heating boost. Switch is set to turn the heater off 15 minutes after it is switched on, so it’s not left running a long time wasting energy. All in all, a simple but effective way of managing certain equipment

I have a few hive plugs but prefer Home Assistant for my home automation and there is often quite some lag while using the hive ones. These connected to my Home Assistant (using a conbee 2 zigbee USB and Raspberry Pi) quickly and easily and are all but instant to use. Great price for them too!

Took me 5 minutes in all to set up. My previous bulky smart plug stopped working and needed this urgently. Great on Amazon to deliver next day

Thanks a lot item as described brand new V.Good Quality

I've come to rely on Kasa as my main LED light and plug supplier. These are just more of the same reliability.

Small, ez to setup and working as I expected.
