Reviews around setup (4.55 of 5)

  • Barcode setup doesn't work and neither does the "red and blue" light setup
  • But the setup was cumbersome, and I never got them to work
  • First, the barcode setup will just hang and never work.
  • Very easy setup - we just plugged it in and alexa recognized it.
  • Setup was easy and I love making Alexa do all the work for me!

Reviews around item (4.42 of 5)

  • n’t want interference.
  • n’t dump the plug in the trash
  • This is a fun little item, our first foray into the "smart plug" world
  • Very easy to install compared to some other Smart Home items.
  • I am still able to go through the process of setting it up and adding the plugs to the app, meaning the items themselves are not the issue, but they simply aren’t communicating with amazon to function

Reviews around work (4.33 of 5)

  • No problems with wifi connectivity - just randomly stop working once in a long while.
  • A smart plug the works with Alexa and all you have to do is plug it in
  • unresponsive."I read various articles on this problem, all of which seemed to involved unplugging/resetting my router repeatedly...which is stupid, since my router is working perfectly well with every other WiFi device in my home (a phone, two tablets, and two Rokus), and having to reset my router repeatedly is also not an actual solution; it's what tech support tells people when they want to get rid of them
  • A weak work around is to create many routines to turn the plug on.....
  • The smart plug works in conjunction with Alexa very well.

  • My smart plug is just controlling a lamp at the moment, but it's a great little device
  • I get "Device is unresponsive" when I view it on the Alexa app
  • worked for a day, then just goes server unresponsive, device unresponsive

Reviews around address (3.41 of 5)

  • I am totally confused as to
  • It would be nice if it also worked with my Wink Hub as that would have allowed for more automated control options via the Wink App.
  • One of them works well (A), and KASA software discovered one.(A)..not the other (B).
  • Super easy to set up and It works exactly as it said it would, no complaints here.
  • Nice as though we do not need to go to the light to turn it on just ask Alexa.

Reviews around failure (3.34 of 5)

  • worked as it should about two times then went back to not turning the light off with the routine.
  • Since others have managed to setup the Amazon plug, I'll stick with a 1 for the product (it appears that the device itself was working) and 0's for software auto-detection, incorrect setup instructions, and failure to clearly specify 2.4G only, compatibility
  • I keep getting an "unknown failure" and no connection.
  • The item keeps showing unknown failure every time I try to install
  • Also...the Alexa app is ponderous and aggravating as to how it handles scheduling of activities.

  • Amazon called me within 10 minutes of posting my (rather negative) initial review to help me determine the issue.
  • V happy to get this one

Reviews around connectivity (1.95 of 5)

  • The Wemo plugs lost connectivity whenever we had a power
  • So, I guess these aren't as reliable as I though
  • So far the connectivity is better (an almost weekly issue for the Wemo)
  • So, I guess these aren't as reliable as I though
  • Has a tendency to lose wifi connectivity on occasion when Alexa is working fine!

Reviews around bite (1.78 of 5)

  • A bit more expensive than other smart plugs but integrates well with Alexa.
  • It looks a bit ridiculous when plugged into any outlet because of the size of it
  • n’t see any advantages to this product over certain other manufacturers, at present.
  • A bit more expensive than some others but those others are very difficult to link if you even can.
  • Instructions could be simplified a bit.

Reviews around trip (1.69 of 5)

  • So, I guess these aren't as reliable as I though
  • n’t dump the plug in the trash
  • By using her it prevents trips and falls as well as bruises and injured toes from running into furniture in the darkness.
  • no more walking into a dark room and tripping on something.
  • Pushing Octogenarianism here, so these things save potentially lethal trips down stairs to cut lights, fans, coffee pots, crock pots, A/C's, space heaters, etc., on or off from elsewhere

Reviews around power (1.58 of 5)

  • We had a WeMo plug but anytime we lost power it was a hastle to get it reconnected
  • These plugs setup just fine, but if moved to a new electrical socket or if they lose power they will not reconnect to my Alexa account.
  • Even after power outages which would mess up my former plugs.
  • It doesn't show power usage like some of the other products out there, but otherwise a solid smart plug.
  • The ability to track electrical usage (as does the KASA smart power strip)

Reviews around room (1.54 of 5)

  • So simple to setup, it's great to be able to walk into a dark room and tell Alexa to turn the lamp on.
  • I can tell Alexa to turn on the light before entering a dark room
  • The greatest thing is is that we placed where we can tell Alexa to turn on the light hooked into it & it will illuminate 3 rooms at the same time!
  • The light switch is on the other side of the room, so I would have to walk across a dark room to turn on the switch
  • Works great entering a dark room.

Reviews around ip (1.54 of 5)

  • I figured that perhaps they needed a static IP so I attached each of them to two static IPs
  • So, I guess these aren't as reliable as I though
  • Others had me going in and changing my firewall/port settings, or having to assign static IP addresses to the plugs, which I refused to do out of principle.
  • I can accomplish these tasks, but these devices are supposed to be made for your average home user who thinks a "port" is a place to dock a ship, and has never heard of "DHCP" or a "static IP address
  • Set plugs to static IP address, rebooted router and modem, and reinitialized plugs.
