Kasa Smart WiFi Power Strip

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.

Wow! Simple and easy plug and play. This sure beats buying individual plugs, though now I have 4 I will need to re-purpose for other use, but that should be easy. Since I had the KASA app and Alex, it was a smooth connect and play. Programming was easy once Alexa found the strip. This was a great buy at a 1/2 off. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing some programmable switches for timing needs with lighting or other devices needing control for on off schedules. Great find and Great product. Pros: Room between plugs, even with fat transformers, Easily Plug and Play with Kasa App or Alexa, All plugs are clearly marked, Clean white color, USB ports, small LED's for on/off on each plug and status LED's for ground, protection and system status (these are small and visible, but not super bright which is perfect). CONS: Maybe the power cord itself could have another 1 or 2 ft added, 4 ft makes it a little shorter than desired. Over All Great Product Especially on sale!

This surge protector is great. Adding it to my WiFi was quick and painless. It’s super easy to program via the Kasa app, however I found it much easier to program it using the Alexa app. Additionally, since the Kasa app limits you to 31 programmed commands per outlet it’s good to know that you can supplement it with commands via the Alexa app. The Alexa app is a little bit better because you can make one command with toggle on/off times vice making two separate commands for on/off in the Kasa app. The Kasa app programming tends to turn on faster than the Alexa app. By that I mean on-the-dot of the time you set. The watch winders in the video are both set to turn on at the same time, but the Alexa app is always about 10-20 seconds behind. They both run for the programmed amount of time though. Whichever you choose the actual surge protector works great. I definitely recommend it!

Excellent for organizing and labeling different items on a power strip. The quality is very good. I use the schedule feature a lot for pets that need heat lamps and also for plant lights. For the most part I am very pleased with how easy they are to set up. The app works well. But sometimes I will notice the items do not turn on when they should, or don’t always go off at the scheduled times either. Checking into the app to turn them on/off when the schedule is still active and correct gets a little annoying though it doesn’t happen too often. Other than that, great smart plug power strip to have around. Takes a lot of work out of getting light timers and the like. Labeling plugs and being able to turn them on and off in the app is very convenient. USB ports do not have the same option to label or set a timer though.

We once turned our living room into a “temporary office + media hub” and ended up with three chargers, two lamps, a speaker, and a fan all fighting for space on one outlet. That chaos is exactly why I grabbed the Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, and it ended up being one of those small upgrades that actually makes everyday life smoother. I also use it for aquariums, works flawless! 📖 Story: From Cable Chaos to Smart Control The first night we used it, we joked that we’d finally “entered the future” — we were controlling lights, lamps, and our fan with voice commands instead of unplugging everything every time. Little moments like that make a difference when you use something every day. 🔌 Individual Smart Outlets This strip has 6 individually controlled smart outlets, which means I don’t have to turn everything on or off together. My desk lamp, phone charger, ambient light strip, and TV accessories all live on different outlets, and I can control them separately from the app or voice commands (Alexa/Google). 📱 App & Voice Control The Kasa app makes it easy to schedule routines, set timers, and group outlets together. You can name each outlet, so when I say “Alexa, turn off the desk lamps,” it knows which one to shut down. It’s more intuitive than some other strips I’ve used. ⚡ Surge Protection The built-in surge protector gives peace of mind for those expensive gadgets plugged in — monitors, routers, modems, etc. — especially in areas where power spikes sometimes happen. 🔋 USB Ports The 3 USB ports are a nice bonus. Instead of using multiple USB adapters, I just plug phones and accessories directly into the strip. It clears up clutter and gives instant charging space without wall adapters blocking outlets. 🤖 No Hub Required I appreciate that it works right over Wi-Fi — no extra hub or gateway needed. Setup was straightforward: plug in, connect to Wi-Fi, open the Kasa app, and it’s ready to go. Voice assistant pairing was smooth too. 🛡 Build & Reliability It feels sturdy and doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. The spacing between outlets is thoughtful, so big plugs don’t hog all the adjacent sockets. It’s solid enough that a power strip actually feels built for daily use rather than something temporary. 💰 Value for Money If you’re comparing it to smart plugs one-by-one, getting six smart outlets + surge protection + USB charging in one unit feels like good value. It’s a consolidation of features you’d otherwise set up individually.

The Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip has truly become the heartbeat of my indoor garden. As someone managing a small grow setup inside a 4x4 tent, I needed a power solution that was reliable, easy to control, and adaptable to my plants’ changing needs—and this device delivered on every level. What I appreciate most is the ability to control each outlet individually through the Kasa app. This allows me to schedule and manage my grow lights, fans, and humidifier with precision. I’ve set custom schedules for different phases of the grow cycle, and I can make adjustments anytime from my phone, whether I’m home or not. That kind of flexibility is a game-changer for me. Setup was simple and straightforward. The app guided me through the connection process, and within minutes everything was up and running. The connection has been reliable, and the strip feels sturdy and well-made. Having one centralized control hub helps me stay organized and consistent. It removes a lot of the guesswork and gives me peace of mind, especially when I can’t be there to check on things constantly. For anyone managing an indoor garden—large or small—I highly recommend the Kasa Smart Power Strip. It’s dependable, efficient, and a great investment in your grow's success.

Amazing. App was easy to use. Timers work perfectly. I only use it for my bearded dragons lights but it's exactly what I need
