User Reviews for Kasa Smart
Kasa Lightbulbs / plugs
I have both of these in my home to use with Alexis. They both work great with her. I even purchased a colored bulb to see how it would do. It’s working great too. In the evening it nice to add a little color to the room and it makes the room more relaxing. Why I highly recommend these items from Kasa: I enjoy the being able to just say a command and my lights to turn on. Also I can also them them to turn down to a percentage and they do it. Example is if I have light on at 100% and I just want to relax , I can command to have it at 35-25% or however dim I want. That’s a great feature bc sometimes you just don’t want a bright light on. Being able to change percentage is a nice feature! I would also like to say. I put a plug outside on my porch. Now my porch has GFI plugs with covers, so I put one of kasa plugs in it to see when I add string lights/ Christmas lights etc... if it would work. Guess what! It worked! It was nice to be able to have my outside string lights or whatever I had plugged in come on with my command. Also I had surgery and it was nice to be able to turn on and off lights without having to climb out of bed or get off the chair or have someone do for me. I definitely recommend these products to use with Alexis. They work great together!
Please update Smart Actions
Let me first start by saying that I love Kasa and I have about 30 devices (bulbs, switches, and plugs) in my smart home. I have two requests for the app developer: 1) please enable the ability to activate more than three smart actions simultaneously. My home has no overhead lighting so I replaced the wall switches in every room with smart switches and then I placed smart bulbs in the lamps and my intention was that when you turn on the wall switch it would also turn on the lamps in the room. It worked perfectly for the first three rooms so I bought several more only to find out that the app only supports three smart actions at once. 2) My second request is to add the sunrise/sunset feature to the non-dimmer wall switch (HS100 I think?). You added the feature for the dimmer switch to be able to turn on at sunrise, but I have the older switch without a dimmer for my front door lights and given that sunset always changing and it’s getting darker earlier I have to manually change my schedule regularly. It would be great if this switch also had the sunset feature.Thanks!
App is poorly thought out, inadequate
Several obvious deficiencies in the Kasa app. The only ways to organize devices on the Home Screen are groups and by product type. The later is stupid as a default. Groups are all on or all off. Product type is useless as soon as you have more than a handful of devices of different types. Tp-Link needs to look at how real people organize their smart homes. We have areas meaningful to us - maybe rooms, maybe some function we do, with multiple devices of different product types in that area. Being able to group devices by these areas means quick access to relevant smart devices without sifting thru all the other irrelevant devices. Then we turn on or off or otherwise adjust the devices from that area that we need. I’m talking about how the bulk of Home Screen works - the device list. Update this!Other stupid stuff - only 3!smart actions can be enabled. Why bother? Sounds like a toy, not a serious tool. Controlling other smart devices with one? Uh, not Kasa. One device can control one other. IFTTT is a basket case, so Kasa needs to fill the void. Oh, and only switch product types can controls other devices? Is this a production app or an early beta?Get into the real world Kasa.
Kasa Smart Plug model HS 107
I always look at the 1 star reviews of other similar products to get a feel for the worst flaws occurring among the competitors. The Kasa reviews didn’t exhibit the flaws that would affect me so that, along with a friends recommendation, product features and price convinced me to buy this smart plug.I am not tech savvy so when I say it was super simple to install and set up you can take that to the bank. I only use it with the app on my iPhone so I can’t attest to use with Siri or other voice activated devices, which got a lot of complaints from other products. And I’ve only had it a couple of days and longevity of these products seem to be an issue too. Mostly I was very pleased with the simplicity of set up and ease of use of the app. Also the fact that you can plug two of them into one receptacle is great. The lights are not too bright. It does not get hot and it does not make noise when it clicks on and off. These were the most common complaints of the competitors similar choices.
A [nearly] perfect app
The app is fast and bug-free. Easy to use. Aesthetically pleasing. BUT, a few, necessary things are missing. 1. The ability to choose a specific light/dimming percentage (with the smart bulb). It’s crazy, but you have to choose a position on a slider and then hit save to see if you got the percentage you were looking to select. 2. The ability to offset the sunrise function (circadian). I want to utilize my smart bulb to imitate a sunrise earlier than the sun actually rises, in order to wake up more peacefully. Right now if I select the circadian function, it will begin getting brighter at 6:45am, but my alarm is set for 6am. What’s the point of imitating a sunrise if I can simply open my blinds? Maybe if my bedroom was in the basement it would be nice... 3. Include a gradual dimming transition option. I don’t want my bulb quickly changing from 20% to 80% in the blink of an eye; rather a slow transition from the previous set time. The workaround would be to create multiple set points on a schedule on my own to have it increase a few percentages every couple of minutes, but that takes me back to issue #1. You can’t simply choose 75%. You have to find it on an unmarked sliding bar. Fix these things and my review will be a boasting 5 stars and I will definitely buy more. Until then...3 stars
Simple app that works
I bought two minis to play with at Christmas and that was that for several months. When I needed to automate the shop lighting I took the minis down first and hooked them up to a display case and window lights. The changing from the home LAN to the new LAN took no longer than the original setup. The plugs are a bit big but they handle at least 7 amps and stay cool. After 3 days I went out and bought 3 more minis to finish the shop lighting. The KASA app is simple and does everything I want display and room lighting to do. It even works from across town in less than 2 seconds. I particularly like the scheduler which I use to make Sure all the lights get turned off at the end of the day. Also, there’s something cool about standing in the middle of the floor, app in hand, watching the lights come on around you. I will see how these go for a few months but I am considering two cameras for the shop and wall switches to start the home. Nice simple product that works.
Great for off site controlling.
We use this app to control our devices remotely. We can turn on and off pumps as needed without needing to go to the site. Functionality is simple but it works! Only think missing is a “reboot” function. Sometimes when our on-site Internet gets rather flaky we need to reboot the modem. We can’t “turn off” this device cause then we won’t be able to “turn on” after since the network would be down. It would be nice if we could open the switch and have a reboot button that would tell the switch to turn off for five seconds and turn on again. As it stands now we gotta go in and schedule a turn off and schedule a turn on one minute later. Of course we need to make note of the time it is and make sure the turn on schedule is scheduled first so we don’t accidentally lock ourselves out of the switch.Another nice feature would be to have a failsafe toggle. I.e if the network goes down turn this switch on and when the network comes up leave it on or have a feature to turn it off. This way if someone accidentally shuts off the router or modem. The switch can detect the failed network and turn it back on again. Or this can be attached to a red light so when we come into the office we can see the network went down over the weekend check out everything to make sure all systems operational. :)
I need a rewind and fast forward button
One day my neighbor comes to me and states that the Philadelphia Police department was knocking at my front door. Me and my family was on vacation Kissimmee Florida. (Fast forward) the police stated that they had received a call to my address of a report of a burglary in progress. I state one sec I have camera footage. I go to the Kasa cloud to get a look at the person In question and I can’t even get to the footage because it’s jumping five minutes at a time. And it’s causing the officers to get frustrated because I can’t get to the footage. I push on the notifications to see the video and I have to literally wait until the moment happens to get the guy face. It took nearly an half hour just to get to the point of the guy walking up to my door. “PLEASE!!!!!!!! Give us a rewind and fast forward button” great app great camera please give us a rewind and fast forward option thanks in advance for your attention and assistance in this matter of mines.
Preset and schedule functionality not up to par
First I purchased two Kasa dimmable smart bulbs, and then I purchased three tunable ones so I could change the white balance. The bulbs are great, but the software needs some work - and is frustrating to use in the meantime. 1. One should be able to copy presets from one device to others - it’s ridiculous to have to set these up from scratch with each device. 2. I like how I can see the Kelvin temp when I’m setting white balance, as well as the brightness %s. However, when I then go to set up presets, I’m forced to set white balance and brightness blindly - there are only sliders, with no Kelvin and % numbers. This is doubly painful because once I finally get a preset dialed in, I can’t copy it to other bulbs. I’m going to return the tunable bulbs as a result - they are not worth my time. 3. It’s great to be able to schedule device events. I would like to see a randomness option, where the device would turn on/off within 20 minutes on either side of a specified time, with the actual time being random. This is important when having devices turn off/on when I’m out of town. 4. Please, please allow us to enable many more than 3 smart actions! They are pretty useless for scheduling activity when going out of town, as “turn stuff on in this room” and “turn stuff off in this room” is already.
Awesome!
I started with the little 2 pack starter kit and used this with my power strip to turn it on at night and off in the morning when I am not here. This power strip only charges my phone, watch and iPad most nights, but I have also had my xbox controllers charger and sometimes other things connected to the strip. It saves electricity instead of having the strip plugged in all the time. I also have a strip for my xbox, tv, and headset charger. I have now bought more of these smart plugins and use them to turn off other tvs and xboxs on power strips when my kids arent listening and have a lamp in the living room I have set on a schedule to turn on before I get to the ground floor so I dont trip on anything on the floor the kids may have left in the middle of the night when they should have been sleeping. I also own one of their light bulbs, but havent found a great use for it yet. I have used it here and there and think it’s a great idea. I have a neighbor that cant figure out how to turn off her outside lights and this would be great for her, but I still think the idea of this light is pretty cool.
