TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug Mini Review

The TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug Mini is the perfect starter for anyone dipping their toes into home automation. Its ultra-compact design doesn't block the second outlet, a common problem with older smart plugs. Setup takes under two minutes via the Kasa app – just plug it in, connect to your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi, and you’re ready to schedule lamps, fans, or coffee makers.

Integration with Alexa and Google Assistant enables voice control, while scenes and timers can automate your devices based on sunrise/sunset or custom schedules. Away Mode randomises lights to simulate occupancy when you’re travelling.

For under $20, the Kasa Mini offers exceptional reliability and ease of use. The only notable omission is energy monitoring, but if that’s not a priority, it’s the best smart plug for the money.
