Plug 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

*Update* Im updating my review from 1 to 5 stars. The reason I had issues setting up initially was because my wifi password is usually saved in keychain on my devices and I never have to input it manually. Because of this I did not remember my password in full and was inputting the wrong wifi password when prompted by the app. Once I figured this out everything was smooth sailing and the plugs are all setup and working just fine. Just received these and cannot setup 3 of the 4 plugs. The only semi-successesful attempt was setting up the first plug except it was a frustrating process. Once I got to the step where I had log unto my home wifi, app kept asking over and over to login to wifi even though I was already logged in. I made multiple attempts to repeatedly logon to my wifi network and the app never detected the fact that I was connected. I got fed up, closed the app, re-opened and only then plug showed up in the device list on the kasa app. I thought the process would be the same for the other 3 plugs but I have been stuck in a contineous loop for almost an hour trying to set the rest up and running into the same issue except these won't setup at all. I have closed the app out multiple times, tried hard resetting the plugs with the power button and nothing works. I had high hopes for these, they looked decently built but the setup process has been a nightmare at least in my case.

I’ve purchased this Kasa smart plug many times, which says a lot about how dependable it’s been for me. Unlike some other brands I’ve tried, these don’t lose their configuration after a power outage, which has been a huge relief in a smart home setup. Setup in the Kasa app is quick and painless, and other smart home platforms recognize them easily without extra work. They’ve been very reliable day to day, and the Kasa service itself has been consistent for me. My only real frustration is that once you have a lot of them, it can be hard to quickly identify which physical plug matches which name in Alexa or other apps. Even with that minor issue, they’re still the smart plugs I trust and keep buying. . What you may care about: • Reliability after power outages (Meets) • Works with multiple smart home platforms (Meets) • Simple setup process (Meets) • Easy to identify individual plugs when you own many (Does Not Meet) • Long-term reliability and repeat-use confidence (Meets)

...you don't have a proper HomeKit Hub. I learned this the hard way. My entire home is full of apple devices (including the original AppleTV 4K) so I thought I was ready for HomeKit integrations -- but No. Apparently, if you don't have a proper hub (like the newer HomePod or HomePod mini), then these plugs will slowly disconnect and be unreachable shortly after setup. So! If you're in the same boat as me, here's a workaround to BYPASS the initial HomeKit setup (so you can connect only to Google Home or Alexa) that I discovered: 1) Open the Kasa App and click, Add Device 2) When it asks you which kind *DONT* pick the HomeKit plugs - instead pick 'Smart Plug Lite / Mini'. Then, before following the prompts - hold down the power button on the side for 20 seconds or so until you hear a prominent click - this means the plug has been restored to it's original factory settings 3) Now follow the prompt to plug it in, hit Next and when it asks if its flashing orange and blue - you actually need to hold down the power button again for about 10 seconds until it's flashing between those colors QUICKLY. 4) Hit next and it'll ask you to connect to the plugs internal network via Wifi - do do this easily on iPhone, swipe down diagonally from the top right of the screen to access control center, long press on the WiFi button, and when the list of available networks pops up - pick the TP Link one. Now back out back to the Kasa app and it'll ask for your WiFi network. Connect it to your 2.4ghz network (not 5ghz). it'll take a second here to set everything up and then it eventually asks you to name the device. 5) Once you're done, make sure to open the Kasa app settings, go to 'Settings' and go to 'Firmware Update' and make sure your plugs are up-to-date. That's it! Now if you look at the device info, all the information is correct - it shows the right plug (EP25 is the HomeKit model) - and you'll notice there's a 'Add To Home' button available to you. This means, down the road whenever you are ready - you can still fully integrate these into Apple HomeKit. For now though, all the plugs work reliably through Google or Alexa.

As a guy wanting to schedule the lights in my house to go on/off with a scheduled timer, cheaply, I personally found these hard to set up. A few reasons: First, you must choose to set these up in the Kasa App or in the Apple Home App, and the instructions steer you towards the Apple Home App. BUT, once you go through the pain of setup via Apple Home, and then open the Apple Home App, you learn that there is no scheduling functionality unless you invest in an Apple hub or have an Apple TV- an additional $100 or so. Well, there goes the "cheaply." (And I am not sure Apple Home allows you to see watts consumed, as the Kasa App does.) So I reverted to the Kasa App. which does allow scheduling. But I got lots of error messages while establishing WiFi connection to some of the smart plugs. Some of the error messages were incorrect (thus confusing), telling me that Wifi signal was bad. In one case it was in fact connected, but the App kept prompting me for need to reset the smart plug. Then it prompted my to update the software in the smart plug- (this may have been the real issue). At one point it told me I needed to reset, but the App showed the plug appearing as normal. So, LOTS of wasted time with setup. I felt like a monkey at keyboard, flying blind without proper instructions, and with incorrect/misleading error messages. So finally, I have them all on the Kasa App, and it is very cool to be able to schedule lights on/off while we are home, and diff schedule while on vacation- One very nice thing about the scheduling is that the scheduler can be set to be relative to sunrise/sunset, so you don't have to diddle with your time settings as the days get longer/shorter- NICE. Also a "vacation" feature that will turn lights on/off randomly to simulate someone living there. I do trust TPLink/Kasa as we have their outdoor unit to turn on string lights and it has held up well, works well (over Alexa voice command). And as I'll be away as these units click on/off, I trust the brand to not burn the house down; I would NOT buy an unknown or newly launched brand for this reason. And for those who care, I saw a video review that shows these units do draw 1/2 watt just sitting in the wall- not much at all, given the convenience feature. So in the end, I am happy with the switches, but wow- Kasa could have made it easier with a better decision tree for how to set up, and a video showing exactly how to set up, and typical error messages and their resolution.

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 Nightmare The 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 Daily The 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 Features Don'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 Line The 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.

I've used a fair number of these plugs in the past so I already had the app set up. Adding new plugs takes just around 2 minutes (I timed it) to add it to the network, configure it in the app, update the firmware, check the settings. A box of 4 like this can be done in under 10 minutes. I do this as soon as the box arrives to verify the plugs do work (I've not had a problem yet) and so they can go on the shelf, ready for when I need them. A cloud account is needed to do the initial setup, but once configured they can be controlled locally (either via a command line or via Home Assistant) so there's no run-time internet dependency. Home Assistant can also track the power usage to draw graphs or for automation. I'd tested some earlier purchases against a Kill-a-Watt power meter and they numbers it reported were comparable. I believe the numbers reported are sufficiently accurate, which is more than I can say for cheaper "random-name" plugs. I have some of these monitoring my fridge (the startup spike is a little concerning; could this reduce the lifetime of the plug? It's survived a year so far!), electric kettle, coffee machine, microwave, washing machine, drier and more. Home Assistant automation means I can get announcements "Washing machine has finished" when the power usage drops to zero. All in all I like these for home automation monitoring and control purposes. They seem accurate and reliable and small enough that you can fit two into a standard 2-outlet socket.

These smart plugs are a solid upgrade for any home automation setup. Setup was fast—just a few taps in the Kasa app—and they synced cleanly with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home. Voice control works without lag, and the scheduling features are intuitive and flexible. Each plug supports up to 15A, which means I can run heavier devices like space heaters or dehumidifiers without worrying about overload. The compact design doesn’t block adjacent outlets, and the flame-retardant build adds peace of mind. Energy monitoring is a bonus—being able to track usage in real time helps me optimize power draw across my gear. If you’re building out a smart home or just want hands-free control over lights, fans, or appliances, this 4-pack is a clean win.

The TP-Link Kasa EP25/KP125 series excels in low-latency response times when used within the Apple HomeKit environment. Because it is a HomeKit-native device, the "handshake" between the plug and the Apple Home app is local, meaning commands are executed nearly instantaneously without needing to travel to a cloud server first. • Network Enclosure Utility: This plug is exceptionally useful for electronics boxes or media enclosures. Its compact depth ensures it won't interfere with the door or cover of a structured wiring cabinet. By plugging your modem and router into these, you can create "power cycle" automations to reboot your internet remotely or on a schedule, ensuring your network hardware remains stable. • Energy Monitoring Hardware: The internal circuitry includes a dedicated energy-metering chip that tracks real-time wattage, voltage, and historical KWh consumption. While this data is currently viewed primarily through the Kasa Smart app rather than natively in the Apple Home app, the hardware is present and precise for auditing the power draw of your network rack. • Mechanical Integrity: The physical Switch/Reset button on the side is tactile and provides a manual override that bypasses all software. The internal relay produces a distinct mechanical "click" upon activation, indicating a secure physical connection/disconnection of the load. • Thermal Performance: Even when running near its 15A limit, the V-0 rated housing dissipates heat efficiently, making it a reliable choice for enclosed spaces where airflow might be restricted. This unit represents "great value" for those needing a professional-grade, fire-retardant smart outlet that maintains a small enough footprint for dense wiring environments.

Excelente

Es mejor comprar las extensiones por calidad y precio que los pequeños individuales. Ya que los pequeños seguido se desconfiguran y no vuelven a prender por alguna razón que desconozco y hay que desconectarlos y volverlos a conectar.

Funcionan muy bien con apple home, los controlo sin problemas desde mi iphone 12 o mi home pod mini

Me gustó mucho la versatilidad del enchufe, ya que puedes usar con cualquier dispositivo inteligente, muy recomendables.

Te deja agregarlo a la app pero sal no responde cada vez que trato de utilizarla
