Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, Surge Protector with 6 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 3 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required

Look, I didn’t need a smart power strip. But after buying the Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, I now feel like the kind of person who irons their socks and alphabetizes their spice rack. This thing is that organized. First impressions? It’s sleek, white, and looks like the kind of gadget a Bond villain would use to power their espresso machine and laser cannon. It even stands up nicely on its side — which is great if you want to pretend your surge protector is striking a heroic pose while managing your chaotic cable jungle. Actual Features That Surprised Me (In a Good Way): Works with HomeSeer and Sense. Yes, it actually integrates with your unnecessarily complicated smart home setup. Now your home automation scripts can finally control your lava lamp and judge your coffee maker’s electricity addiction. Shows individual power usage per outlet. Fantastic! Now I can see exactly how much energy my air fryer is consuming while it reheats a single chicken nugget. Spoiler alert: it's embarrassing. Wi-Fi connectivity actually works. After the obligatory 20-minute app dance and three failed attempts to "connect to device," it stayed connected and hasn’t dropped off the network once — which is more than I can say for my $200 router. Stands up well. No, seriously. It stands. Upright. Like a champion. No flopping around like a sad fish behind your TV. It knows its purpose. Some Gently Sarcastic Notes: The app is... fine. It works. It's just not winning any UX design awards. But hey, once you've named each plug something inspiring like "Lamp 1," "Lamp 2," and "Definitely Not a Lamp," you're golden. Don’t be fooled by how smart it is — it won’t do your taxes or explain crypto. It's still just a power strip. With ambition. The energy monitoring is cool until you realize your desk fan is basically a power-hungry gremlin. Knowledge is power... and now you can literally measure it. Final Thoughts: If you're the type who wants to know exactly how much electricity your fish tank filter is using at 3 AM — congratulations, this is your holy grail. Works well, plays nice with all the smart home toys (including HomeSeer and Sense), and looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie. Just don’t expect it to do anything actually intelligent, like stop you from buying more smart plugs.

This product works as expected. One of my favorite features is that you can see the power consumption on each plug in real time, and over the course of time. It has more smart home features than I care to use, which probably appeals to some shoppers. USB power is a plus as well although I have not used it due to placing this under an aquarium. I set a function to turn my filter off for ten minutes while feeding fish. I use the schedule to control my Co2 and lights. There are many uses I’ve found that make this a good aquarium power strip and the price is near what the aquarium specific ones are.

I love easy smart home automation. I purchased 3 of these units to install in various locations to control the power outlet for a few devices in the home. Mainly my IT office and garage. There are some things in the house I want to be able to know I can turn off remotely and also watch the power utilization. Which I didnt think I would care about power usage itself that much, but it has been handy to see the power usage of devices plugged in to see how they actually affect my wallet over time. I was really shocked to find that this strip could handle the needs of my garage air compressor and shopvac just fine. Air compressor was very handy as I can command Alexa to turn the air compressor on or off when needed and no it wasnt going to go off in the middle of the night trying to recharge the garage air system. Modern air compressor by the way, check your air compressor power needs before using as some pumps need very large start up power to begin use, but my air compressor design allows for "easy start" by removing compression from the first few strokes. But still 11 amps of power on startup. I used them to connect the different leads for the outdoor christmas lights and set digital timers on each plug to turn and off at defined times to avoid worrying about anything outdoors and even the christmas tree itself. Mind blowing to have it manage them all through the weeks of the holidays. I really have no complaints thus far, as the ability to manually turn on and off per port is there, USB charging is onboard (note not remote controllable of course, they are on if power to the board is on). You can groups ports into different programs, or schedule independently. Nice to look at, well constructed as well. You do have to use the KASA home app to set them up initially, but can easily combine with other home automation systems like Google Home and Alexa. I have both systems possible as well as others. No hub required at all. Give each port its own name and you can command that device at will. Great work, looking at getting more soon.

Es buena y construida con materiales que se sienten de mucha calidad. Funciona perfecto y puedes encender solo los enchufes que ocupes. Compatible con Alexa para encender o apagar, al igual que puedes hacerlo desde la app aunque no estés en casa. Los USB ayudan a cargar cosas sin el cubito (por ejemplo un firetv) Recomendada 100%

Muy fácil de conectar, tanto al Wifi como a Google. El espacio entre enchufes es amplio y permite que no choquen los cargadores. Es muy útil que se pueda prender y apagar manualmente cada enchufe, tenía otra regleta donde se podían prender y apagar pero todos. Lo único que no me gusta es que no se puede perder o apagar los USB de ninguna manera, ni manual ni inteligente. Y también se puede ver el consumo de cada contacto y el tiempo de uso, lo cual brinda información interesante y que podría llegar a ser útil.

Excelente producto, cumple con lo que dice

Si buscas convertir un dispositivo "Tonto" en inteligente, te servirá bastante o sencillamente nosotros tenemos conectado el horno de microondas y la lavadora a esta barra, y cuando no los usamos los apagamos y no están chupando energía, y puedes programar rutinas para que se apague y/o prenda a cierta hora o hasta poner un timer.

Este multicontactos WiFi es un gran producto, la calidad habla por sí sola, es práctico y bien diseñado, incluso es bonito. La App funciona bien, es fácil de entender. Puntos a mejorar... - El cable de 90 cm resulta corto, sería mejor un cable de entre 120 a 150 cm - Los puertos USB trabajan a 2.4 A, y podrían trabar a 3.0 A para carga rápida; con eso podría eliminarse la necesidad de utilizar cargadores de dispositivos como celulares o tabletas - No es posible apagar los LEDs indicadores SYS, Grounded, Protected a través de la App, lo cual puede resultar molesto de noche en un dormitorio, en cambio, sí se pueden apagar los LEDs de cada contacto
