Great product, easy and quick to set up. Great integration with Google Home. Kasa app itself is easy to use for scheduling etc if not using Google/Alexa. Highly recommend.
Definitely my smart plug of choice – they are nice and small – easy to set up in the Kasa app – REALLY reliable (I have a few set up at my parents house for them, which are all on my account so I can change all the timings remotely for them (without the pain of having to go round and sort manual ones, or explain to my dad how to do it!)
Some great security features like away time. Links up to Alexa easily and they really have been an amazing addition to the smart home functionality.
Definitely recommend!
The Smart Bulb delivers excellent performance and seamless integration with smart home systems. The bulb offers a wide range of features, including customizable lighting and voice control compatibility. The only minor inconvenience is that the bulb comes with an Edison screw holder, requiring an additional adapter for Bayonet Cap sockets. Despite this, it’s a top-notch smart bulb for enhancing your home automation experience
Once installed and connected to the WiFi all good to program
I’m a big fan of this radiator valve. We use this to control the temperature in our son’s room. It’s very comforting knowing that the temperature will stay around what you set it to and stop his room from either getting to hot or not warm enough.
We originally tried the Eve equivalent, but the app support and ease of use it so much better.
Great value for money, especially when discounted. It’s also super easy to install and use.
It does not call for heat from the boiler / nest system we have installed. It’s a stand alone product that just gives room by room control of the temperature when the heating it scheduled to come on.
I bought a couple of generic smart plugs to use with an Alexa device but they were a nightmare to set up and pair with Alexa.
While trying to source more info to get the generic smart plugs to work properly, I came across a review for these TP-Link/Kasa smart plug slim. They reviewed really well so I decided to buy a couple, they were half price, bonus. Set-up on the Kasa app was relatively straight forward and they were up and running quickly. Scheduled on/off times for a couple of lamps to test, and able to control remotely, away from home. Pairing with Alexa was also straight forward.
I was so impressed that I bought another 3 while they were still on offer. I wish I had found these sooner as I wasted so much time with the previous smart plugs.
I would highly recommend these smart plugs.
I had previously used one of these and control it via my phone. I tried another make but could not connect it to wifi. I bought another Kasa smart plug and it linked quickly and easily.
The app is relatively easy to use (they have just brought in an update so I’m still getting used to it). I would buy this brand again.
Use this to switch on my 3D printer. WiFi signal is fine through several walls about 8m away from the router. Knocked a star off because you have to sign up to an app to configure it, which is annoying.
Extension lead is working fine and don’t have any issues. However, I was under impression that I’ll be able to monitor a power usage on each port, the same as I can do in standalone TP link smart plug, but it doesn’t have that option which is a real shame.
That’s why I’m giving it 4 stars.
I use these behind my av rack to enable restarting of my router / tv / virgin box without pulling anything forward and disturbing everything. I also use them to power my bedroom tv on command (rather than use standby) and on my living room standard lamps to schedule on off routines for security. Also outside in my studio I use the original smart plug by kasa hs100 to start an (1kw) electric heater when I am going to be using the studio later. They are very reliable and I find them very easy to set up. (youtube is your friend)
I purchased this to be able to turn my aviary lights on and off from anywhere in the world on my phone. The lights are on a timer and come on the correct time daily, it’s easily changed too as well as you can just press a button and they’re off.
I found it easy to set up and managed to set up within seconds. I was so pleased I purchased another.
The app they use says 3rd party purchases which made me worry if I was going to be charged to use my plug but seems it’s for more CCTV recordings.
I can’t comment about Alexa etc because I don’t use it. Just the mobile app.
Really easy to set up from the box, following the app instructions. Does what you need it to (remotely controls plugs from the app) plus more (can schedule things to switch on at certain times etc from the app). Overall, really impressed. You can also assign the different plugs and name them in the app to avoid confusion with switching the wrong appliances. It’s useful to switch on lights when not at home or switch them off when you’re in bed. It would’ve been nice for the USB ports to be remotely controlled too but maybe that’s too much to ask for.
Firstly, the setup process was incredibly easy and straightforward. I opened the Kasa app on my phone and followed the step-by-step instructions to connect the power strip to my WiFi network. Within minutes, I had full control over all the outlets and USB ports on the power strip.
The build quality of this power strip is great. The strip itself is made of high-quality materials, and the plugs and sockets feel very sturdy and secure. I love the compact design of the strip, which makes it easy to fit in small spaces and keeps my desk or countertop looking neat and tidy.
The three outlets and two USB ports are incredibly useful, allowing me to power and charge multiple devices at once. The USB ports provide fast charging for my phone and other devices, and the outlets can handle my connected devices with ease. I also appreciate the individual on/off buttons for each outlet, which allow me to conserve energy and reduce standby power consumption.
Finally, the smart features of this power strip are a real game-changer. With the Kasa app, I can set schedules, create scenes, and even control the power strip with my voice using Alexa. I can turn off all my devices with just one tap, and I can also monitor energy usage to help reduce my energy bills.
Overall, I would highly recommend the TP-Link Kasa WiFi Power Strip to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable, and versatile power strip. This product has truly exceeded my expectations, and I am sure it will exceed yours too!
ORIGINAL As has been mentioned before, these do not integrate with the control of the boiler. These limit the temperature of the room according to your setting, however, depending on how the system is balanced, the insulation of the room and how quickly it takes to heat rooms there is the option to get a higher temperature than that of the room stat.
Our wireless smart stat is in the coldest and largest room, it could do with with an additional or larger radiator. The radiator is fully open and runs hot but barely raises the room temperature, therefore the smart thermostat is set to 19.5 degrees. All of the other rooms have TRV and are capable of heating way above 19.5 due to the difference between the above variables and a bountiful supply of circulating hot water.
Our living room is warm enough most of the day without heating, therefore a TRV is useful to limit the room to 22 degrees whilst the coolest with the smart stat struggles to get to 19.5.
Unfortunately, regardless of TRV head I have tried in the lounge, there is a few degrees of overshooting the desired 22, I’m suspecting there’s a fault with the actual metal valve or the lockshield valve.
This electronic TRV is dynamic in it’s activation which is working better at controlling the temperature than the standard versions. It’s quite quiet too. The app allows 6 times zones or leave it on a manual static temperature.
The app is quite straightforward. I would like a boost function to allow a brief time for the valve to fully open as another brand version does.
I agree with others that these are ideal for zoning off rooms for unwanted hours of the day. I will probably buy another few for the bedrooms.
The valve and the App are very easy to use and provides endless options to set up heating programmes on individual radiators. One thing you have to work out is the “Temperature Offset” on each valve. This is because the valve reads the temperature in its immediate vicinity, which is a very hot radiator! and you want to set a temperature for the room. Depending on the location of the radiator, behind a sofa or out in the open will give different results. This takes a bit of trial and error.
A second TRV arrived the next day and that was a seamless experience, as was the integration with Alexa! I would like to get some more Kasa Smart TVRs for other rooms in the house, but unfortunately they have old Drayton TVRs fitted to them and although the Kasa valves come with 3 different adaptors, none of them are suitable, so I have to try and find a source of suitable adaptors before proceeding!
I also have a number of Tapo Mini Smart Wi-Fi Sockets which also work very well and I hope that Tp-Link will at some stage produce a boiler controller to integrate with their valves.
