TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring

The Kasa Wi-Fi Smart Plug allows users to manage power to appliances and equipment in the facility from a mobile application remotely and in real time. It can connect to an organization’s Wi-Fi network to provide remote access over the Internet. Through the mobile app, users can monitor the status of each Kasa smart plug, assign multiple smart plugs into one group, toggle power supply to the smart plug outlet, create schedules for each smart plug, and integrate with smart speaker or other ecosystems. The mobile app’s energy dashboard provides real-time measurements as well as cumulative readings of energy usage and runtime for the day, past 7 days and past 30 days.

Hub Highlights:

Connected through organization's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network
Programmable schedules for one-time and recurring on/off operations
Provides daily energy usage information for the day-of, past 7 days, and past 30 days
Device management and control through a mobile app
