Compatible with Android, iOS – The free Kasa Smart app lets you run smart plugs from any Android (5.0 or higher) or iOS (iOS 10 or higher) devices.

Smart Actions– Enable device interconnections and home automation for your Kasa devices. There are three types of Actions that can be created: “Motion Sensing”, “Schedule a Scene” and “Auto-off Timer”. Connect your phone to the Smart Plug Wi-Fi. There is a difference between Android and iOS phone in this step. Kasa lets you group multiple smart devices into a custom scene, giving you an easy way to configure several with a single tap. For example, you might create Welcome Home to turn on your smart lights along with a heater plugged into the HS100.Some smart home ecosystems are significantly compromised if your broadband fails, but Kasa was quite resilient. Local control still worked well, with the HS100 responding to scenes and individual instructions. Of course, like other smart devices, you can’t control it from outside your home network if your internet connection goes down. Setup is faster than ever before with Alexa. Use your Echo device to set up the plug via voice command.

Once you’ve set up your Echo device, plug in your TP-Link smart plug. If Alexa or the Alexa app says “New plug found,” go straight to step 3. If you have a problem in this step, please go to Settings->Wi-Fi on your smart phone and manually connect to HS100’s Wi-Fi network (same as iOS).

Be Home Even When You’re Away

Smart Home Connectivity: How many other smart home systems does the plug work with? Alexa and Google Assistant should be givens. The TP-Link HS100 Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug is an attractive and dependable way to add smart control to dumb appliances in your home. With no hub to invest in it’s a cheap option, yet the fully-featured Kasa app allows remote and scheduled control and supports integration with other smart and automated systems. Kasa is now one of two brands being operated by TP-Link. This has given people some reason to worry about the future of the Kasa product line. Generally speaking, TP-Link has stated that they have no intention to leave Kasa behind and are actively creating new Kasa products… but this varies depending on where in the world you live. Kasa covers everything from smart switches to smart light strips. You’ll be able to find your standard smart light bulbs as well as the gear you need to put together more complicated smart home setups. It’s the wide range of products that have made the cost of line stand out in a crowded Arena of smart home devices.
