Wow this is amazing i almost bought one. I had it in my cart then just canceled it because i wasnt sure if i needed it

[@TechManPat]

haha how do you feel now ? :)

[@haissamali]

@@TechManPat i just picked it up thanks to your review. I needed the shutoff feature for some work machines that we need to turn off at certain times a day so this solves it thanks

Nice for the price. I got 4 pack switches from Kogan, easy also to setup. $68 free del.

[@TechManPat]

Thats a really good price :)

Does the device require a Wi-Fi / internet network to use or just power plug only to be plugged in?

[@TechManPat]

You can set it up without wifi but to control it remotely you need wifi, and then to control it outside of your home you need internet and the app

@@TechManPat Thank you so much for your quick response. Much appreciated ☺️🙏

@@TechManPatSir, I have 9 - 90watt led bulbs around my house. Can I put them on a 16A smart plug and putting it on power strip ? Will it take the load? Please advice how to do.🙏

Does it give out notifications about the state change?

[@hermanjuan779hermanjuan8]

Sorry I want to ask whether the password of my WiFi router is ever needed at any setup steps?

[@TechManPat]

Yes it is. when you connect the device to your wifi

Hi Tech Man Pat I'm a bit of a newbie. U mentioned "long distance"If I was at shopping centre (about 3km away) with my S"Phone (with kasa downloaded),would I be able to turn (say PC) off and on from; there?

[@TechManPat]

Hi Eddie, yes as long as your phone has internet connectivity and your home does too, you can control devices remotely.

[@eddiel8708]

@@TechManPat OK Pat, sounds handy.

[@eddiel8708]

Hi Pat, I ended up buying the smart plug to use. Now another matter.Have u produced a video on USB Charges?I'm thinking of buying a 6 port,but I wouldn't know what to buy.

I bought mine a few years back and no lights have been coming up how do I fix it please help

[@alanhilder1883]

Does it have to have an active internet connection? What I want to do is set it up at home, but, once set up, take it to where I am setting up a show that has not got internet available. So connect it to a " private hub " that my phone, computer and some of these power outlets and be able to control them with the push of a phone " button ".

[@TechManPat]

Good question, it will connect to the wifi network which you are on, but you from what i have seen since it says local only, you don't need an internet connection to work. I can do a quick test by disconnecting the internet but leaving local network on.
