TP-Link Smart Wi-Fi Plug HS110

Some difficulties connecting the device because of two applications (Kasa & TP Link) conflicting with each other was overcome by good customer support. Hely was a great help and able to fix the issue.

Unreliable – I have this plug hooked up to a solenoid adding 15 min worth of filtered water in my aquarium everyday. The schedule works fine every evening, starting at 6pm and ending at 6.15pm. Sometimes however I need to add additional 15min worth of water if I feel a need to do so. So I setup smart scene to shut off plug in 15 min automatically anytime the… Read more

plug is started. This worked fine on several occasions but started failing recently. I contacted the support staff and after expressing concerns about losing my aquarium inhabitants due to excessive water change(PH and other parameters) I was told it is fixed after many many emails which I tested. I also inquired what was wrong but was told they don't know and to use the plug for something non critical. I advised this is the only reason I brought the plug as I don't have smart home etc. Then one fine day I started the plug and noticed after 3 hours it had not shut off. Lost $200 - $300 Fish.

I would not be trusting this product to do the job. Hopefully no one else go through this. You have to be concerned when the technical team has no clue what is wrong!!!

A smart plug that makes other devices smart – Bought this plug to add smart features to my sunbeam heater. Now i can set the timer for the heater and turn it ON and OFF at multiple times overnight.

Easy set up but way too bulky – I bought a couple of these on sale and whilst they are easy to set up and work well, they are so bulky that nothing else can be plugged in beside it. Very disappointed, surely someone would have checked this before putting it into production?

Solid device, easy to configure and useful monitoring capability – I purchased this device to be able to remotely switch on / off appliances when it is sunny, to make best use of our solar PV system. It is solidly constructed (although a bit chunky as far as plugs go) and also has a physical button which can be used to "manually" turn on and off the power flow. The free Android application can be used to control… Read more

the plug. There is also a scheduling function in the app which I haven't used, but might be useful for some people. A great thing about the plug is that it only needs a Wifi connection - no other devices (apart from a smartphone) to make it work. The plug allows reasonably granular real-time monitoring of power consumption in watts, as well as daily total kWh consumption (however it only updates every 1-2 seconds). This makes the plug quite useful to see how much energy different appliances use - for example, a washing machine cycle on normal vs hot wash. The plug itself consumes some energy, although based on my experience via separate monitoring this seems to be around 1-2 watts (even if nothing is plugged in to the smart plug), so the plug itself doesn't seem to be too greedy in terms of energy consumption. For the super-technically minded there are some 3rd party resources online which allow the plug to be controlled via computer code. In my experience this has worked really well, and I was able to develop a custom program to charge home appliances based on the output of our solar PV system - i.e. turn the plug on when our house is generating excess power. However this was only possible with some custom coding and using the plug in conjunction with some other home monitoring devices which we have (i.e. the plug only knows about how much the things plugged in to it are using, not overall household consumption). I believe the plug manufacturer is not involved in these programming libraries, and maybe doesn't endorse them - but in my experience they work great! Overall the plug continues to work well, is well constructed and well priced. In fact I bought a second one after seeing how useful the first one was. A recommended purchase for energy monitoring nerds and others who need to remotely turn things on and off!

Easy to setup with energy monitoring – Was very easy to setup the switch plug and link to Alexa and Google assistant. I didn't find much use of the energy monitoring though. It would have been great to use with appliances such as electrical heater but the plug might not support it (might support only until 1500KW). I felt the price was little higher but worth it for a brand such as TP-Link compared to buying unknown brands.

Absolute Rubbish – stuck in a loop for over an hour, tech support non-existent, will crush it and use for landfill. app seems to want to steal all your data, not happy with this device at all.

Excellent product, easy to set up, easy to use – I purchased this today, so my review is fairly early in the usage cycle. The product cost NZ$33, which was reasonable. I plugged it in, downloaded the app Android, and it connected with only a few minutes of waiting. The app is very well designed, looks good, and is very easy to use. In a few minutes I had set up a test schedule, plugged… Read more

something into it, and tested it worked. It worked as expected. The app gives you information about runtime, and if you purchase the more expensive model it can tell you how much power it's used as well.

The schedule UI seems good. You simply tell it what time and what days to turn on, or turn off. I don't know if there's a limit to the number of entries, but the six or seven I've created were no problem.

The only minor downside is it's a little larger at the bottom than the average plug. On a double plug it prevented a standard sized plug going in. I solved this using a double adapter, which I prefer not to use, but is a perfectly reasonable solution.

All in all - excellent - and makes me wonder what else this company sells that I might like.

Smart Plug, Smarter Home but No Hassle Setup – I have gradually turn my dump home into a smarter home with smart bulbs and other smart accessories. I started with cheap products. However, they were unreliable, difficult to connect to my home wifi router, and drove me mad when setting up. This TP plug works so well with my Google Eco System. I connected this with my electric fireplace and now… Read more

I can control my fireplace with a voice command and most importantly I am able to turn it off even though I am at work and realise that I left the fireplace on.

Also, this help me to track how much energy the fireplace consumes through the KASA app. I am happy with this purchase and would buy again for my other electric equipment (may be my electric blanket, I always left it on in the morning).

Smart Wi-Fi plug with Energy Monitoring – I replaced an old arlec energy monitor that used lithium cell batteries that was very complicated. For a similar price. This smart plug is easy to use download the Kasa App from the app store and follow the instructions to setup. Easy to remotely switch on or off, or set to a timer, and what I bought it for, you can instantly read the wattage… Read more

being drawn, or in the case of a fridge that goes on and off throughout the day, you can take an average reading for the time set, or the total wattage for the time you've set. ie. day.

Straight forward and simple. good app
