We’ve come along way from the Clapper infomercials of the aughts.
A smart home power strip makes controlling smart tech like lights super easy, whether by voice command or through an app. The Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300 stands out as a particularly versatile option on the market, and it’s half-off on Amazon today, going for about $40. It’s ace at streamlining smart home routines.
Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300
The HS300 has six individually controlled smart outlets, making it easy to turn off lights from the comfort of bed or schedule a coffee maker to start brewing in the morning through the Kasa Smart app. The strip also has three USB ports, ideal for a living room phone-charging setup. It’s larger than the typical power strip, but it accounts for every extra inch.
It also ensures safety through ETL-certified surge protection, shielding devices from sudden power surges, especially useful during storms or unexpected power fluctuations. An energy monitoring feature is great for energy-conscious consumers, which keeps tabs on the power consumption of each connected device.
Voice control is another plus, with the HS300 being compatible with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft Cortana. Much more intuitive than the Clapper.
Amazon customers praise the performance, ease of setup, and power consumption tracking capabilities. The ability to create groups, scenes, and schedules adds a layer of customization, allowing users to tailor the smart power strip to their specific needs.
