- Louis Loong2024-04-20Great buy for this price!
I purchased 4 KMC smart plugs and I must say, it's well worth the money. First and foremost, the ease of use is outstanding. Setting up these smart plugs to control my garage lights was a breeze. Within minutes, I had them synced with my Google Home, allowing me to easily switch between multiple devices with just a voice command. The capabilities of these smart plugs are impressive. Not only can I control my garage lights remotely, I can also schedule them to turn on or off at specific times, adding an extra layer of security to my home. The ability to integrate seamlessly with Google Home enhances the overall smart home experience. Additionally, the build quality of the KMC smart plug is top-notch. It feels solid and reliable, ensuring long-term durability and performance. The compact design also means it won't block adjacent outlets, a common problem with other smart plugs. All in all, if you are looking for an affordable yet powerful smart plug solution, look no further than the KMC Smart Plug. It offers unparalleled convenience, simplicity, and reliability, making it a must-have for any smart home setup.

YEAH! I installed this in about half a minute using Smart Life! So great! I have had SO much trouble with almost every other smart plug. Also, it LOOKS like an outlet in of a regular circuit and it WORKS like a regular outlet. Most WiFi Smart Plugs are meant for 10 AMP maximum. I have ruined about 6 others thinking they were usable for anything except lighting or low-wattage devices. PROS: - 15 AMP / 1800w - works flawlessly to control heaters and other devices drawing 1500 watts or more (1800w max)!!!!!! - neatly fits socket so 2 plugs can easily use same outlet (not all smart plugs do!) - fast, super easy to install - simple, clear controls for setting schedules - works with Smart Life app instantly (important) CONS: - one reviewer notes it will only work if Internet is available (not important for me because ONLY time I don't have internet is when power is out). Anyway, my smart switches work w/o Internet and all my other smart plugs require Internet (I think). No concern - for me.
- True Stories Only2023-10-05These work very well - a little too big though
First off - definitely buy these, because they do what they say they will, and they make life a whole lot easier (and your home more aesthetically pleasing). Note that I am only using them with the KMC Smart app (not Alexa, voice, or other options), so this review speaks solely to functionality on that app (installed on iPhone). The Negative: 1. They are a bit large; if you are installing them on a crowded strip, or even a wall plate with a tight squeeze with a neighboring plug, you may not be able to fit them. 2. Slow to pair initially, and sometimes you have to repeat the process before the app connects. 3. Sometimes the app shows the connection as offline for no reason. Restarting the app helps. Just a little but annoying glitch. 4. You can create a setting that turns ON at a specific time of day (good for Christmas lights), but for some reason, adding a second commend to turn OFF doesn’t work. 5. I read that they lose all functionality after a blackout, so you have to start from scratch in that instance (pain in the you know what when you have several). However I haven’t experienced this personally (very few blackouts in my area). The Positive: 1. Well-priced at around $5 apiece 2. App is easy to use 3. Name each plug whatever you like 4. Eliminate the need to keep unsightly cords and switches accessible/visible in your space
- rlkiser2024-06-03Great value
I’ve been using this for about two months now. They work flawlessly. I’m using them throughout my apartment with two different Alexia’s. They all set up without any issues in minutes. Have worked perfectly with zero issues. Great price also! Highly recommend!
- marc wagner2024-06-18Easy to set up and use
My mobility was negatively impacted by a stroke making some lamps in my home hard to access. These connected to my Echo devices automatically and now I just have to speak to turn the plugs (lamps) on or off. I was also able to set up an Alexa routine with automatically turns certain plugs on at sunset and off at sunrise. These have definitely made my life and living independently easier.
- Micah L.2024-05-19Works great!
Tuya app detected them, Gosund app detected them, and they work great with Alexa too. They're affordable, work fast, and save you the trouble of having to go flip switches and set timers every day. Everything can be automated in Alexa or in the other apps. For those days when it's hard to get the motivation to get things going for the day, it's easy when you've already set up routines to start your coffee, turn the lights on, and get some music playing.
- dwgib2021-10-21Great devices,great product support,problems in Alexa
These work great,simple to set up in KMC SMART app, which has automation settings for date,time,weather,sunrise,sunset. There is a current problem adding them to Alexa as when attempting to add them as a device,selecting type = "plug" and brand = "KMC" Alexa currently attempts to enable the "SMART LIFE" skill,which is the WRONG SKILL! There is a "KMC SMART" skill that it should use. I know this because fortunately I already had the "KMC SMART" skill enabled from purchasing KMC plugs last year. I found out the current problem when I attempted to add 2 replacement plugs KMC's wonderful support sent me after 1 failed defence fly after a year of use. Warranty support was easy,just a couple hoops to do,like AMAZON order and the devices serial(available in the KMC app(which they support gave instructions on where to find the serial in the app and the app even provided a convenient "copy" button for the long serial. They sent me 2 new plugs, in just a couple days, even though mine failed just after the warranty year,and even though only 1 failed. Can't beat support like that. hopefully KMC and Amazon will get together and fix the problem in Alexa for enabling the KMC SMART skill for KMC SMART devices instead of the SMART LIFE skill. BTW, even though I already had the skill enebled , it still took a day for it to sync/add the devices to Alexa. This is something I've found as a problem in many areas of Alexa, being slow to update changes in all areas,like skills,contacts adds and changes,devices,etc. I've found not to get too upset,just give it a day. Alexa is a very slow app,even when starting up it's noticable.
- Harlan Freilicher2022-11-21Works pretty well.
UPDATE: KMC responded promptly to my inquiry, asking for further clarification of the problem, but in the meantime I figured out how to reset the plug and it’s apparently working fine now. Not sure what caused the connection problem; maybe a glitch in the wifi, or a power surge, or maybe someone unplugged it and then plugged it back in. Whatever the cause, it resolved when I plugged the thing in and held the button until it blinked, at which point I just had to go through the “add device” procedure on Smart Life and then on Alexa. I’m adding back a star because the problem was fixable and the company was ready to step in. It would be five stars if not for the hassle involved in reconnecting it and the fact that it’s still not clear what caused it to stop working. ORIGINAL POST: These smart plugs work with Alexa through the Smart Life app. In general, they all worked pretty well, although there’s an audible click when they turn on or off, and a second or two of delay. However, the first one we installed lasted less than a month before it became completely unresponsive. The LED indicator light, which is supposed to indicate that the plug is working, suddenly became dim. I’m waiting to hear back from KMC to see if they’ll replace it. I’ll update this review with the results. Meanwhile, the Smart Life app doesn’t offer any obvious way to delete a device, so I had to rename this one from “bedroom lamp” to “defective” in order to replace it with a spare.

I can’t get up when I get in bed because A. My Dreamcloud premier mattress is so comfortable and cozy and B. My dog and cat both sit on my legs to go to bed as I read myself to sleep on my kindle unlimited…. lol soooo I need to turn the tv or lights off with my phone. Only negative Is you can turn it on when you walk in with the light switch soooo others can’t turn it on unless you share the app and they carry a cell all around house. I keep my one by door switch lamp plugged in without and the one I use to have dimmer on my other bed side table I like that one on my phone. It works with Alexa too so you can set up your phone even iPhone to say “hey Alexa. “ Thanks bye
- J2024-06-27they work, but
the only issue we had was that if you have a light (or something) that REQUIRES a button to be pressed to turn on, you shouldn't get something like this. it'll work for turning it off automatically, but you'll still have to turn it on when you want it on. at least it solves half the problem I guess. also, if you lose power you might have to reconnect it to the WIFI
