Frequently Asked Questions
Please press the reset button on the back of the plug for 10 seconds.
Connect your smart phone to the same WIFI as your plug. Open Kasa app and tap on “Add a new device”. Select “Smart Plug” from the list of device types. Press and hold the button on your Smart Plug until it blinks, then release it. The Kasa app will automatically detect your plug and display its name in a few seconds.
Tap “Schedule” icon on the top left corner in Kasa app. Select “Smart Plug” from the list of devices. Tap “+” icon to add a new schedule, or tap an existing schedule to edit it. Tap “Save” when you’re done editing it, or tap “Delete” icon to delete it if you don’t want to use this schedule any more. Select a device that you want to control with this schedule from the list of devices displayed on the bottom of screen, then tap “Schedule” icon at top right corner in order to set up time and days for it (the device will be displayed in red color if you haven’t set up time and days yet). You can also tap “Edit” icon at top right corner if you want to change time and days for this schedule, or tap “Delete” icon at top right corner if you want to delete this schedule (the device will be displayed in grey color if you deleted this schedule).

You can, as long as the power strip’s devices don’t draw more current than this outlet can handle. The typical maximum for most residences is 15 Amps, which is what this device is rated at. Electric heaters are typically rated at 1500 watts, which is 125 volts multiplied by 12 Amps. This is because long-lasting electric appliances must be 20% below 15 Amps (12)
Actually, this has been covered in great length. For devices like these, the 2.4GHz frequency makes more sense because the 5GHz band has a significantly smaller usable range. Because it can transport far more data in a shorter amount of time, modern computers frequently use the 5GHz frequency, although usable range suffers as a result. The extended range 2.4GHz band will offer a better experience in most households because this device only needs to transfer incredibly small quantities of data (on off status along with energy usage, if you have that model).
You can utilise it by installing the app on your phone or tablet, which will enable you to remotely operate the switch. Yes, this works without Alexa. Alexa is necessary, though, if you want the option to control it using voice commands. (Alexa’s app is also available for download.) (And I believe Google Home devices are also compatible,)
As long as the Smart Plug is installed indoors, you must ensure that the total current taken by all of your lights is well within the Smart Plug’s rated amperage. Although you should double-check the specifications, I believe the maximum is 15 Amps.
Yes Simply arrange them in a group, and it will switch them all on or off at once.
You can, indeed. Every day of the week, we have a coffee pot scheduled to start at 4 am and end at 8 am. It’s fantastic. More of them are setting up lamps to turn on at the same time every day in the early winter. Setting it up is incredibly simple. I’m confident you’ll truly appreciate it.
Yes. You might possibly put a power strip into in and control the strip and consequently all that is plugged in it. Although I haven’t tried it, it ought to work.
