Plug Ultra Mini 15A, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, UL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 2 Count (Pack of 1)(EP10P2) , White

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.

Even though this Kasa mini smart plug is a little older and not the newest model, it still works great. Setup was easy, and it has been very reliable over time. I liked it enough that I ended up buying a second one, specifically to control my Christmas lights. The timer and scheduling features are extremely useful for automatically turning things on and off without thinking about it. One feature I did not expect to use as much is setting it up like a “door bell” at night. I have it connected to a small device so I get alerted if my toddler sneaks out of his room, which has been incredibly helpful. Overall, this is a very useful smart plug that continues to perform well despite its age. Great for timers, lights, and creative setups like alerts.

Excellent produts, already bought 4 pairs of these products to have the same timer control for the home. Very easy to install and link to wifi from the mobile, very reliable

If you are looking for a way to upgrade your "dumb" appliances without overcomplicating your life, the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini (15A) is arguably the best $10–$15 you can spend on your home. I’ve tried several brands, and Kasa continues to be the most reliable in terms of connectivity and ease of use.

I purchased the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A (2-pack) for controlling lamps and small appliances with Alexa. After a month of use, these plugs earn a strong 4 out of 5 stars for ease, reliability, and features, though there’s still room for improvement. Pros: Compact ultra-mini design means both plugs easily fit side-by-side in a standard outlet without blocking other ports—great for tight spaces and fully using your outlet.​ Setup is a breeze: just plug in, connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and the Kasa app walks you through pairing and Alexa integration. No hub needed.​ Voice control works reliably with Alexa and Google Assistant, letting me turn devices on/off hands-free from anywhere in the house.​ 15A load capacity handles higher-power devices than most smart plugs. I use mine for a heavy-duty space heater and toaster without issue.​ Flexible scheduling lets me set timers for lights, fans, and coffee makers, and auto-off prevents wasted power if I forget to turn something off.​ Reliable remote control from my phone, even when I’m away from home. Each plug is managed independently in the app, making routines easy to customize.​ UL-certified for safety, and the flame-retardant shell offers peace of mind for daily use.​ Cons: Only works on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, not 5GHz, so check your router compatibility.​ Plugs are deep enough they can protrude from shallow wall plates; not a dealbreaker but worth noting. There’s no energy monitoring feature—these are basic control plugs, not for tracking appliance usage. App setup can be a little slow on older phones or weak Wi-Fi. Overall, this Kasa Ultra Mini 15A 2-pack offers smart, safe control with a fuss-free install and solid performance. Ideal for anyone starting a smart home or adding voice-controlled outlets to high-use spaces.

Functions great, easy installation and remote use of it does the job .

Really like the Kasa Smart Plugs. Super easy to connect to Alexa. I also like that they're rectangular and do not block my other outlets. I have purchased these a couple times and they never disappoint. I am totally, 100% electronically challenged and if I say these are easy to set up anyone can do it.

This plug has worked well. I had no problems connecting it to my Apple home ecosystem. It came with two QR codes that made them easy installs into the system. I’ve been using it for over a week and a half, and I haven’t had any problems controlling it in the Apple ecosystem.
