Hubless smart plug? Look no further, get it.
At a GlanceI purchased 2 of these Hub Free WIFI power sockets (HS105) which allows lamps or whatever I want plugged into it to be turned on and off using an app on my Smartphone. The product came exactly as described.The GoodEasy to follow instructions out of the box made the set up process easy. The set up process including firmware updates (based on my home’s internet download speed) took about 10 min per plug. I downloaded the KASA app from the app store and set up an account rather quickly and I was able to control the lights which were plugged into this smart plug immediately. I really like how I can schedule the plug to turn on and off at certain times by schedule. I also have Google Home which allowed me to control the smart plugs by voice. The plugs physical size does not exceed my wall plates so it gives it a clean look.The BadThe small physical size of the smart plug means TP-Link needed to place the on and off button on the side of this Smart Plug so depending on the placement of furniture around your wall sockets this may make the on / off buttons themselves hard to reach if you ever had to use them.The VerdictIf you wanted an easy to set up, compact and contemporary looking Smart Plug to turn electronics plugged into the wall on and off from the comfort of your phone without the need to buy an expensive hub, this is the one.

Don't like to deal with timers and the complicated ways of setting them up? Don't like the bulk of traditional timers? Well look no further than this smart mini plug. I've been using these for quite some time now and have a couple of the older plugs (larger in size).

The fact that these can be controlled through your app from anywhere you are is a great convenience. I primarily use these for light decorations inside and outside of the house. I have them all set to go on at the same times and off at the same times. They have performed flawlessly and the app makes it a breeze to setup. They don't take up much space at all and you can still use the second outlet in your wall plug. These are designed well and if you need to use both receptacles, they plug in without issues.

You can also use these for your existing floor lamps, table lamps, etc. Almost anything you want to put a timer on, this product will do it. You don't need to use the timer if you don't want to so if you want to keep your lights off until you are ready to head home you can remotely turn on your lights. I have also used this to control my crock pot. I use it to delay turn on and auto shut off my crock pot at certain times depending on recipe.

I also have the Tp-link smart switches and a dimmer. Good eco-system and the app is always updating. These plugs are just a good addition to the ecosystem of smart switches. I would definitely recommend these without hesitation.

Setting this up was a breeze, I was up and running within 2 minutes of unboxing. Kasa, the software you have to use is a 45mb file on the playstore. It's very intuitive, although not very customizable. From what I understand I need to buy a few other accessories to actually have the "smarter" functions as I only have access to remote on/off, timer mode and different time schedule filter options. Good unit and very responsive, as even though I spammed the on/off button, it kept up steadily, doing a soft cathunk sound, such as when a breaker trips. I'm really itching to take it apart to see how it actually operates but I will wait till it fails to do so. Unfortunately, this unit cannot be operated from my LTE network, YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE SAME WIFI NETWORK to send functions to it. I understand the security risks and the complexity of setup required so I imagine that's what their SR20 Router would be used for. Also, the app logs the total runtime under different stats but provides no data about power consumption whatsoever. For the price, I am quite amazed by the product and it's a good investment if you wanna start heading towards a smarter home.

Update April 2019
They have a new software update and they now support control this smart plug anywhere outside your house. Last review is they just control locally inside your home. But now they just updated. So I give one more star for them. If they care about the last star they need to lower the price. Because I find out an other brand brought it from local Walmart is half of the price.

I brought this because I can control them through home WiFi network wherever I'm in the house. The Kasa App is also easy to use and connect them very simple. Enough function that you can use to control your plug.

Pros: Easy to set up
Compact design without blocking other outlet
Have "Schedule" "Away" and "Timer" function
You can read how many hours your "lights on" or whatever device on everyday
Con: Plug control only local wifi network
The "Schedule" and "Away" function don't see the different. I'm confuse.

Overall this wifi plug is just a high tech timer upgrade from the mechanical one. Yes you can use Amazon Echo Voice Control but if you not using Echo. Only control locally you can't control away from home. I suggest save the money to buy the HS100 or HS110 is more useful.

Surprisingly easy to set up, with a very good interface, this plug does pretty much exactly what it promises. The Kasa app that powers it is pretty much the only automation app I've seen with 4+ stores on the App Store, and it deserves it. Setup was painless (it guided me through the whole process), and after adding the Skill, it flawlessly works with my Echo to control the plug.

The app itself also has a bunch of other neat features, including adding hubs and other devices. It can be used to disable the remote control, rename plugs, associate pictures, set routines (schedules, away settings, timer), and gives details about runtime (and power usage if you have the model that records that).

The mini plug is fantastic because it only takes up one slot. The Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring model is a bit less impressive at that -- even when placed at the top, it has about a half inch that extends over the plug below, effectively meaning it takes up two plug spaces. So unless you need the energy monitoring, go with the Mini model, as it'll keep the second plug free.

Overall, very useful and easy to control.

I've used this product for the past week or so. I'll update accordingly. As of now, these smart plugs work exactly as described. Wasn't difficult at all to install the app and connect the plugs. However, it's not intuitive how to set up the plugs as timers/switches. I did have to google it in order to figure out how to set up the timers. Possible suggestion for TP-Link, instead of having to add separate events to turn on and off the light, it should be under one event. When it starts, when it ends all in one. Kind of like how you would add an event to a calendar on the iPhone. As it stands, you have to create an on event and an off event. Once set up though, the plugs work well. It turns on and off my lights as scheduled. Hopefully the foot print of these plugs get smaller as well. If you are plugging into a power strip/surge protecter that doesn't have wider spaces for wide plugs, these plugs will cover up adjacent outlets.

This review will include all the stuff that I installed since Dec. Will come back later for a long-term update.
All of them installed on a managed network.

2 TP Link Kasa Smart Plug Mini Outlet
10 TP Link Kasa LB 110 (2700K)
3 TP Link Kasa LB 120 (2500-9000k)
1 TP Link Kasa LB 130 (Color)
6 LIFX Mini White 800L (2700K)
3 LIFX A19 (Color)

Initial Installation:
I have zero trouble on installation, zero connecting issue or losing connection issue. I guess most of the complains are from older review and the new firmware fixed the problem. Both brands have a very simple straight forward installation. First you down load the app, next you install the bulb, then you click ADD device and follow the screen instruction then voila. Bear in mind that at first the device is trying to connect to your phone/tablet DIRECTLY to initiate the process, so stay close to it and make sure both device on the same network 2.4ghz. After you enter the Wi-Fi info on screen, they will switch back to connect to the Wi-Fi instead of each other, so give it some time to do that. From that point everything should be smooth sail and you and proceed to update the firmware and finish the installation.

Performance:
Both TP Link and LIFX performs really well on the white bulb, both are nice and bright and providing about the same amount of light but the LIFX has a way better dimming performance. The TP link dim at 1% is not really 1%, is at least 20% I would say, where the LIFX dim is really at 1%. If dim to 1% is important for you, I will forget about TP link, it can't go below 20% IRL even it is showing at 1%. If dimming to 1% is not that important to you then I will say both are good and it will be depending on the price point. I got both at $14.99, no complains there.

On the color bulb, the LIFX A19 will blow the TP Link LB130 away. LIFX A19 is rated at 85W and the LB130 is only at 60W, the brightness on the LIFX A19 is just pure awesome especially in color mode. Overall the LB130 is just weak, not bright at all on color and the one I have is kind of limping and became very dim on 3rd day so I end up returned it.

On the switch and the plug. They are awesome, zero hick up at all and very responsive to command, is like instant on and off no delay there, very solid product and the price is good too. I am glad that they are one of the cheapest but performing very good.

If you are putting 2 switches together, this is a perfect fit cover to use

If your recess base is too small for the bulb base to go through, this is a good adapter to use but beware of the depth of your recess, it might stick out.

I wasn't going to do that before because the price was crazy. $40 regular bulb? You are kidding me.
But at $14.99 a white bulb, I think is more doable now and I pulled the trigger, that's pretty much the same price when GE first came out the led bulb to replace filament decades ago.

Es mucho mejor que el otro modelo redondo y que ocupa mucho espacio. Por fin se pusieron las pilas y rediseñaron este apagador wifi tan práctico. Ahora solo ocupa 1 lugar pero solo si tu contacto tiene las salidas horizontales. Si no va a ser lo mismo porque la clavija no es rotativa.

El producto es muy bueno, se configura rápido y la app es sencilla y 100% funcional. Puedes programar encendidos y apagados a lo largo del día y noche. Ideal para conectar lámparas, ventiladores, series navideñas, etc. No requiere hubs ni otros accesorios. Cada enchufe genera su mini red para configurar. Son muy confiables y nunca se me ha "caido" uno o se ha desconectado del wifi.

También se puede controlar directamente, trae un botón en el costado y si necesitas encender y apagar y no traes tu smartphone no hay problema.

100% recomendables. Gracias por leer mi reseña, espero que te haya servido.

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017
Size: Smart PlugVerified Purchase
After researching automated light switches and outlets to control my lights, I picked TP-Link because they do not require a separate hub to work. Out of the box, install or plug-in, load the Kasa app and create an account, discover using the Kasa app (connect the device to your WiFi at home) and you're ready to go.

I absolutely LOVE the light switches and the outlet plugs. The online TP-LINK installation videos are awesome; short and concise with clear instructions. These Smart devices work perfectly every time using the Kasa app, Alexa and now the Google Assistant. When the power went out once, the devices automatically reconnected and worked flawlessly. BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!

I bought the Amazon Echo Dot - 4 times - and controlled my lights from anywhere in the house simply by speaking to Alexa.

Then, as of 3/25/17, Google Assistant got in the action. So now I can also tell my phone "Ok Goggle, turn on the Basement" and the two Smart Plugs (one mini and one original-sized) turn on together since I made a "basement" group to include them both.

If you're buying these Smart Plugs or Smart Switches for the first time, the below info will be helpful to know to avoid asking yourself "why is it not working for me the way people say they do?"

1. You need to install the Kasa app and create a user account to operate your devices using your phone/tablet. The Smart devices must be able to connect via the WiFi in your house to be operated remotely (by you not manually touching the device). Although you can still operate the devices manually, you bought these to operate them remotely. The Kasa app let's you name each Smart device (IMPORTANT: NAME EACH DEVICE AND GROUP AS YOU WANT TO CALL IT OUT USING ALEXA OR GOOGLE ASSISTANT) and create "Scenes" to group multiple Smart devices to turn on/off at the same time. Tapping on the device name in the Kasa app opens the options to set schedules, timers and more.

2. Got an Amazon Echo? Install the Alexa app on your phone/tablet, add the Kasa Skill, link the Kasa Skill to your Kasa account (from point #1 above), discover devices, then create Groups - similar to the Scenes in Kasa - and select which devices to include in the group for Alexa to know what you meant to turn on/off at the same time. If you DON'T create groups in the Alexa Skill: A) Simply ask Alexa to turn on/off the individual Smart device name, and... B) Alexa will NOT know which multiple Smart devices to turn on/off at the same time - even though you created a Scene (group) in the Kasa app, key phrase here... "in the Kasa app". After you create a group name and include Smart devices in the Alexa Skill, you'll feel like one of The Jetsons, a Star Trek crew member or a millionaire, with the power to command lights on and off using you voice: "Alexa, turn on the Living Room".

3. Got an Android smartphone/tablet with Android version 6.0 or higher? Google began sending upgrades to those devices to install the Android Assistant - the same Artificial Intelligence (AI) used with the Google Home device (the device that competes with Amazon Echo). Here's the deal, similar to the Alexa Skill, you NEED to enable and setup the Android Assistant using the similar steps I described in topic #2 above: Link it to your Kasa account, create Group names and add Smart devices to the group, etc. To set up your Android Assistant to operate your TP-LINK Smart devices, start by saying "Ok Google, turn on my LIGHTS" - the AI is smart and will prompt you with a bubble for you to setup Google Home interfaces. It's da bomb!

Hopefully this will help you enjoy your TP-LINK Smart devices as much as I do.

If you're thinking "I'm still not sure if I should get these or another brand..." GET THESE!!! You will not regret it. They work great! Also, when I had questions, their customer support was very responsive. The love is definitely there.

My goal is to get my entire house upgraded to use only TP-LINK light switches. In time, as the budget allows, it will happen.

The Kasa app let's you name each Smart device (IMPORTANT: NAME EACH DEVICE AND GROUP AS YOU WANT TO CALL IT OUT USING ALEXA OR GOOGLE ASSISTANT) and create "Scenes" to group multiple Smart devices to turn on/off at the same time. Tapping on the device name in the Kasa app opens the options to set schedules, timers and more.

2. Got an Amazon Echo? Install the Alexa app on your phone/tablet, add the Kasa Skill, link the Kasa Skill to your Kasa account (from point #1 above), discover devices, then create Groups - similar to the Scenes in Kasa - and select which devices to include in the group for Alexa to know what you meant to turn on/off at the same time. If you DON'T create groups in the Alexa Skill: A) Simply ask Alexa to turn on/off the individual Smart device name, and... B) Alexa will NOT know which multiple Smart devices to turn on/off at the same time - even though you created a Scene (group) in the Kasa app, key phrase here... "in the Kasa app". After you create a group name and include Smart devices in the Alexa Skill, you'll feel like one of The Jetsons, a Star Trek crew member or a millionaire, with the power to command lights on and off using you voice: "Alexa, turn on the Living Room".

3. Got an Android smartphone/tablet with Android version 6.0 or higher? Google began sending upgrades to those devices to install the Android Assistant - the same Artificial Intelligence (AI) used with the Google Home device (the device that competes with Amazon Echo). Here's the deal, similar to the Alexa Skill, you NEED to enable and setup the Android Assistant using the similar steps I described in topic #2 above: Link it to your Kasa account, create Group names and add Smart devices to the group, etc. To set up your Android Assistant to operate your TP-LINK Smart devices, start by saying "Ok Google, turn on my LIGHTS" - the AI is smart and will prompt you with a bubble for you to setup Google Home interfaces. It's da bomb!

Hopefully this will help you enjoy your TP-LINK Smart devices as much as I do.

If you're thinking "I'm still not sure if I should get these or another brand..." GET THESE!!! You will not regret it. They work great! Also, when I had questions, their customer support was very responsive. The love is definitely there.

My goal is to get my entire house upgraded to use only TP-LINK light switches. In time, as the budget allows, it will happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great device, latest firmware fixes frequent wifi disconnect

*** UPDATE 12/2017 ***
The iOS app now finds and applies firmware updates for all devices. Updating review to 5-stars!

*** UPDATE 5-24-2017 ***
Firmware 1.2.1 appears to have solved the problem of dropping wifi connection. Prior to 1.2.1, the longest my HS105's would stay connected to wifi was 8 hours before they dropped/reconnected. With 1.2.1, my HS105's have now been continually connected for over 96 hours.

I am leaving my 3-star rating for now, because... The KASA app doesn't detect/upgrade the new firmware. To update to 1.2.1, you need a Windows PC and should search the web for "tp-link faq-949". That will give you a page where you can download a firmware update utility. The utility is very crude, and always says "update failed!" even though it successfully updates the HS105.

If tp-link gets the KASA app fixed so that it can update HS105 to 1.2.1, or starts shipping with 1.2.1 installed, I will bring this rating up to 5 stars.

*** ORIGINAL REVIEW ***

I had a hard time deciding how to rate this...

Functionally, it has worked perfectly -- I am using it with both the iOS app and Alexa, and it has never failed to operate as it should, turning on/off as commanded. So from a purely functional standpoint, in my particular environment, it rates 5 stars.

But there is "something wrong" with the device firmware; it randomly drops and reconnects from wifi. At least with my particular router, this doesn't present a problem, and in fact the only way I know it is disconnecting/reconnecting is by looking at the router statistics. The connection may last for an hour, two hours, even eight hours -- then it disconnects. With my router, it reconnects and continues just fine -- but from a lot of the bad reviews here, I suspect the reconnect doesn't work with all routers. Signal strength is excellent, so it isn't a signal problem.

In fact, I have a tp-link HS200 (wall switch), and it stays connected indefinitely. This is in the same location, with the same signal strength. The HS200 stays connected forever, but the HS105's (I have three of them) all disconnect/reconnect randomly after 0-8 hours of operation.

I have updated the HS105 to the latest firmware, 1.1.3, but this makes no difference.

So from a functional standpoint, with my router (Asus AC88U), I'd give this 4-5 stars. Easy to set up, works well with the TP-Link iOS app and with Alexa. But there is something wrong.... And depending on your router, the frequent disconnect/reconnect may be invisible to you (as it is to me), or it may require manual intervention.

Hopefully this is something TP-Link will fix with a future firmware release.
