Kasa SmartPlug Mini 15A, Apple HomeKit Supported, Smart Outlet Works with Siri, Alexa & Google Home, UL Certified, App Control, Scheduling, Timer, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4 Count (Pack of 1) (EP25P4), White

Pros• Easy setup• Quick to connect to WiFi and respond• Small footprint• Status reports• Schedules• Phone app support• Microsoft Windows Store app supportCons• NoneI use Kasa surge protectors and now have bought these single smart plugs. These work just as good as the surge protectors. The plugs connect quickly to WiFi when plugged into power and maintain a solid WiFi connection. The plugs respond quickly respond to phone app controls. Within the app you can pull reports of runtime, power usage, etc. You can set schedules or timers on the plugs as well. Very very handy plugs and I definitely recommend.

A few pack of these and I smart-ified my whole apartment. Great value and an absolute breeze to set up. Plug something into it, scan the QR code and set it up in two minutes. Apple HomeKit recognized it immediately. No fuss and has worked perfectly for nearly a year now.

These are great. They are much smaller than the Wemos i've used and the connectivity works much better. Works great with Alexa and it's own app. We use these for holiday lights and outdoor decorations along with most of our lights. Since Wemo is also discontinuing support we bought another pack during Prime day.

Setting up the Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A was quick and effortless using the Kasa app. It connected without issues and has been working reliably ever since. I didn’t experience any Wi-Fi drops or lag, and it responds quickly to commands.Important Note for Sense Energy Monitor UsersOne thing to be aware of—this model does NOT work with the Sense Energy Monitor. If you’re looking for a Kasa plug that integrates with Sense, you’ll need the KP115 or KP125 instead, as those models include energy monitoring. I found this out after buying it, so that’s something to keep in mind.Final ThoughtsIf you need a simple, reliable smart plug, this is a great choice. However, if you want energy monitoring or Sense compatibility, go for the KP115 or KP125 instead.

This is my second purchase of the Kasa Smart Light Switch, and it’s easily one of my favorite smart home upgrades! What I love most is how seamlessly it integrates with my phone and Alexa—no hub required. Whether I'm out and about or already tucked into bed, I can control my lights with a simple voice command or a quick tap on my phone.I'm notorious for forgetting to turn off lights at night, and this switch has saved me countless trips out of bed. Now, I just ask Alexa and it's done. The installation was a breeze—practically plug and play—and setting up schedules for each switch is just as simple.If you're looking for an easy, reliable, and affordable way to smarten up your home, this is it. Highly recommend!

I first bought just one to see if I could make it work as described. It worked great without linking it to a hub or Alexa. All that is needed is wireless and download of a free App. Setting it up is simple if you follow the directions carefully. Once you get the hang of it, it only takes a minute. I like this product very much!

I bought the TP-Link Kasa EP25 smart plugs specifically because they are advertised as HomeKit-compatible and support energy monitoring. I expected a seamless Apple Home experience, but what I got instead was an ongoing exercise in frustration.Let me start by saying: I'm not new to smart home setups. I have a fully functional Apple HomeKit environment where other devices (sensors, lights, locks) connect and perform flawlessly. Unfortunately, the EP25 plugs don't live up to the promise of "Works with Apple HomeKit."Setup NightmareThe setup process is clunky and unreliable. You're required to install the Kasa app, scan a HomeKit QR code, and hope it pairs. Most of the time, it fails with generic messages like "Accessory Not Found" or "Unable to Add." I followed all TP-Link's instructions—resetting the plug, updating firmware, rebooting my iPhone, toggling Wi-Fi, etc. Still no luck. I managed to get one plug to work temporarily, but what about the others? Total failures.There's even a bizarre workaround suggested online: leave the plug plugged in for 10+ minutes until it exits HomeKit pairing mode so you can bypass HomeKit and just use the Kasa app. That's how broken this setup is."No Response" Errors DailyThe one plug that did connect to Apple Home worked fine for a day or two… then began showing "No Response" in the Home app every morning. I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in just to control it again. Meanwhile, it still showed up fine in the Kasa app. So clearly, the problem is in how the plug communicates with HomeKit, not my network or Wi-Fi.From reading other reviews and forum threads, this is not an isolated issue. It's a widespread, long-standing flaw in how TP-Link integrates with HomeKit. There are mentions of firmware updates making things worse, not better. TP-Link's advice mostly boils down to "reset everything and try again."Misleading FeaturesDon't be fooled by "energy monitoring" on the box; Apple Home can't display energy usage. That only works in the Kasa app. So if you bought this expecting to track power consumption through HomeKit, you'll be disappointed.Also worth noting: You must install and keep using the Kasa app (and create an account) for firmware updates or advanced settings, even if you only plan to use HomeKit. If you're trying to avoid third-party apps or account creation, this isn't the plug for you.Bottom LineThe EP25 is an unreliable mess for HomeKit users. Setup is frustrating, daily disconnections are maddening, and the energy features don't work with Apple Home. I've returned the non-working units and will likely return the one that did "work" too, because I can't trust it.If you're building a HomeKit ecosystem, do yourself a favor and skip this plug. Look for options that use Thread or Matter. They're far more stable and reliable. Until TP-Link fixes its HomeKit implementation (or Apple drops certification), this product is little more than a paperweight with a blinking LED.
