Remote Control

Customers have generally positive opinions about the remote control feature of this power strip, which allows them to turn individual outlets on and off from anywhere using their smartphones or voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Some customers have found it useful for controlling appliances remotely, saving energy, and monitoring electricity usage. However, a few customers had difficulty setting up the device and getting the app to recognize it.

Individual Socket Control

Customers are generally positive about the individual socket control feature of the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip, allowing them to separately name and control each outlet remotely via phone or buttons next to the plugs. Some customers have used this product for various purposes such as controlling aquarium equipment, 3D printers, and lighting systems. However, a small group of customers have reported issues with the outlets randomly turning on and off without intervention.

Multiple Sockets

Customers have reported inconsistent performance with multiple sockets on the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip. While some have had success with the power strip and found it convenient for controlling multiple devices, others have experienced issues such as intermittent connectivity and malfunctions that resulted in damage to connected devices.

Competitiveness


But compared to the “gold standard” single-outlet monitor that costs $20, this is a great deal.


The smart strip has some smart actions but it's mid compared to the single plugs.


You have to use either the kasa or tapa app (tapa is the same company, newer product line).
