Rock-Solid Smart Plug I Keep Coming Back To
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)

HomeKit-Compatible in Name Only – Frustrating, Inconsistent, and Not Worth the Trouble
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 NightmareThe 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 DailyThe 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 FeaturesDon’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 LineThe 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.

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.

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