A:AnswerI would recommend against running any kind of heater from a surge protector. Even though it’s a smart plug, it’s still a potential fire hazard to use it for a heater. I tried a space heater off a single smart plug that was of sufficient wattage capability and it ended up blowing the plug and rendering it useless. The heater was 1500 and the plug was about 1800.
A:AnswerYou can control this power strip through the Kasa app but only if your power strip is connected to the internet. If you have timers and schedules set up they will still work without being connected to the internet.
A:AnswerHi! There is not a web-based management interface; the Kasa Smart WiFi Power Strip is designed for use and management via the Kasa app on your smartphone.
A:AnswerYes, with some leg work. The plug can tell how much is being drawn power wise and how long it's been on for as well as integrate into IFTTT or Google Home to trigger actions
A:AnswerAbsolutely! I connected mine with ease but you must download the Kasa app first and you need to sign up for TP-Link. It takes a few steps but just follow the set up instructions. You give the plugs a name for Alexa to recognize. Once connected I can use the Alexa app on my cellphone to turn on my lamps on the way home or while in the car. I can just tell Alexa which lamp I want turned on while sitting in the room. This smart plug can be set on a timer...it does so much more than I anticipated.
A:AnswerYou can control each outlet on the power strip through the app. You also can name each power strip within the app so you know which device you are controlling.
