Works well. For the hackers among us, I have disabled access to the cloud and use python-kasa to control it directly over Wi-Fi. There is plenty of open-source code for accessing the API without risking cloud access. The switch is usable with the TP-Link app on the local network even if you disable cloud access. If you do use cloud access, it'd pay to familiarise yourself with the usual shoddy security IoT security problems. Works well.

The plug needs the latest firmware update to keep it wifi connection for more than a couple of days.

I have setup the following on a Raspberry Pi and can log the energy usage from the 2 plugs I have running and it works great.

No longer do I have to switch my aqauirium light on and off 14 times a week, over a year this will save me hours. No longer do I have to switch my aqauirium light on and off 14 times a week, over a year this will save me hours.

Cheaper than JB HiFi. The product gives me control of power schedulling AND tells me how much power each outlet is using so I can figure out cost. Awesome at helping me reduce my $550/month power bill. Cheaper than JB HiFi.

Very good, bought 3 of them. and working like charm. using for children room to on heater before going back to home. Very good, bought 3 of them. and working like charm. using for children room to on heater before going back to home.

I have the unit operational within minutes, easy to set up s schedule and the live energy monitoring was easy to view. Also a breeze to add to my google hub I have the unit operational within minutes, easy to set up s schedule and the live energy monitoring was easy to view. Also a breeze to add to my google hub

The Kasa HS110 smart socket works simply and very well. The button on the face of the unit under the status light toggles the on/off state of the relay and informs the Kasa app of the updated state, so there is no issue with synching state. As the unit is about 66mm wide, it slightly overhangs an adjacent wall socket with standard spacing. However, most moulded appliance plugs will still just fit under the overhang anyway. (Wall warts and phone chargers will not fit.) The metering of energy used and runtime as displayed in the Kasa app is very straightforward, with present, daily, weekly and monthly stats all the screen at once.

Excellent device, great for the crockpot especially as you can schedule the on & off times. Considering getting a second one for a heater instead of swapping it to each appliance.

Great for monitoring power usage, there's even a handy docker container with charts n stuff that works with this. Great for monitoring power usage, there's even a handy docker container with charts n stuff that works with this.

Setup with a RaspberryPi to control my 3d printer, works great and adds a layer of protection :) Setup with a RaspberryPi to control my 3d printer, works great and adds a layer of protection :)

hi all these are Great and have a 3 year warranty, I now have 3 of them, only down side is their size, but are so reliable compared to the other brand ones I have at a similar price.
Real nice easy to access app that is very helpful, and easy to use. hi all these are Great and have a 3 year warranty, I now have 3 of them, only down side is their size, but are so reliable compared to the other brand ones I have at a similar price.
