Great – Just Works – But Basic
I initially was a Hue bulb user but I had multiple quirks so I completely dumped them and switched over to the Kasa Bulbs. Reason I picked the Kasa Bulbs over others was because I already had some Kasa Switches and Kasa Plugs so I didn’t want another App and another eco system to worry about. Also, my existing Kasa stuff works perfectly. With that said, here’s my reviewProsApp is simple and straight forward (see negative)They work with Google, Alexa, IFTTT, and Smart Things (no Apple Homekit) so I’m not tied to a single smart systemBrightness is great. Brighter than my Hues (1000 lumen bulb)No Hub neededFast response. When I turn on or off the lights, or even change brightness/color, it’s pretty much immediate – my friend has Feint Electric bulbs, and there is like a 3-5 second delayI can control lights remotely – when I’m away from home I can see status of the lightsPrice – 2 pack of Hue is $100 (not including hub). 2 pack of Kasa, about $30Setup is super easy (see negative)NegativesThe app being simple is a negative. Coming from the Hue app, Kasa app is super basic. While you can get it to do pretty much everything you could do in the Hue app, it’s a lot of manual setup. Example: Hue has a ton of pre-setup scenes like night ‘Misty Morning’, etc. Whereas Kasa has 3 basic scenes to start. You can definitely ‘recreate’ any Hue scene in the app, but it’s a lot of work.(small gripe) Continuing with, app, the home screen should be quick access to things (more grouping of icons). Example: Hue has all the scenes at the top and lights below that. So once you go in to the app, it’s one click to change scenes or to turn off/on a light. In Kasa, it’s extra click or additional scrolling to accomplish the same thingAnd then there are no add-ons like Hue to make the lights more fun and dynamic. Like on New Year, I could set Hue lights to ‘Firework’ and that was cool. There is zero dynamic modes with KasaTo go along with the ‘fun’ topic. You can link your Hue up media device and have it changes colors while it plays (music, tv). There is nothing in the Kasa ecosystem right now that does that.Setup can be annoying because the app can be confusing during setup. (see below for easy headache free setup)No Apple Homekit supportIFTTT – does not support triggers, only actions.While I’m going to miss some things about the Hue lights, I’m not going to miss the headaches. Hue lights are more ‘fun’ (just don’t expect no issues), but if you want lights that just work, have great brightness, color selection and are a fraction of the price of Hue, I highly suggest the Kasa bulbsPre-setup notesIf you are connected to a vpn on your phone or using AdGuard, disable it before you startRequire 2.4Ghz WiFi. Will not connect to 5Ghz. On your phone connect to your 2.4Ghz WiFi before you startIf you have more than 1 bulb to install, do 1 at a time. Don’t install any of the other bulbs until you finish the previous.Setup works best when you wait about 20-30 seconds after you plug in the bulb before trying to it up.Setting up bulb1 – in the Kasa app, press the + in the top right corner2 – select Device3 – select smart lights4 – select Smart Bulb KL100 series5 – click next on install screen6 – click next on power screen7 – app will try to connect to bulb, if it connects to bulb, skip to step 118 – if it fails to connect, wait like 5-10 seconds and hit ‘try again’9 – if it still fails to connect, open your WiFi settings on your phone and manually connect to the Bulb (bulb should be TP_Link….)10- now go back to the app and hit ‘try again’11- pick the WiFi and enter your WiFi password12- when you get to the ‘Connect to your WiFi’ screen, if the app switches you back your initial WiFi (takes about 20 seconds), click ‘already connected’. If it doesn’t auto switch you back, manually switch back to your initial WiFi and then click ‘already connected’13- Now name your Bulb13- you’re done. – repeat for each bulb you need to setupNow you can add a group (+ in top right corner of app) if you want group multiple bulbs together or create a scene, etc.NOTE: A group in Kasa won’t show in Alexa. If you want a group in Alexa, in Alexa app go to Devices, scroll down to Groups and create a Group

Los productos TP Link son grandiosos; tengo un router archer AX 6000, 6 interruptores inteligentes, 1 dimmer inteligente, 1 x 4 pack de smart plugs mini, dos regletas inteligentes con tres entradas, entre otros dispositivos de esta marca y no saben fallar, tienen un funcionamiento eficiente, además de que la aplicación Tp Link Kasa es bastante útil.En general puedo decir que este foco a pesar de ser económico tiene buen flujo luminoso (medido en lumen) bastante bueno, acercándose en calidad a la de su competencia “los focos phillips Hue” (los cuales tengo 1 x 2 pack), alumbra bastante bien mí escritorio, tiene una amplia gama de colores y temperatura de color (medida en Kelvin), lo empleo para uso rudo, varias horas al día, sin embargo llega a calentarse un poco, recomiendo no situarlos en sockets embebidos para que tengan una ventilación óptima.Para quienes comentan que su dispositivo pierde constantemente la conexión, sugiero que compren un enrutador TP Link de gama media (quizás un enrutador “TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 Smart WiFi Router” para arriba) para que tengan una mejor gestión de los dispositivos conectados a su red wi-fi, ya que inicialmente a mí me pasaba lo mismo, hasta que adquirí un buen enrutador, el router TP Link AX6000 (procuren también actualizar el firmware de su enrutador de manera periódica para no sufrir pérdida de velocidad en la transferencia de datos). Anteriormente tenía el módem típico que TELMEX provee, el cual sólo me brindaba 17 mb/s de los 200 mb/s contratados al momento de hacer el “speed test”, desde que adquirí el enrutador TP Link antes mencionado el manejo de mis dispositivos es excelente, ya que gestiona de manera óptima todos los dispositivos y de manera simultánea, habiendo más de 20 dispositivos conectados a la vez (echo studio, echo dot, 4 pantallas, 2 laptops, 3 smart phones, y varias luces inteligentes Philips Hue y Tp Link), he hecho muchas mediciones de Speed test conectado a este enrutador TP Link Archer 6000 y en la banda de 5G, y puedo decir que la velocidad de transferencia de datos es de 200 mb/s en promedio, pero aún más importante, la gestión de los dispositivos es excelente.P.D.A mí me costó este smart bulb $309.49 mxn, precio imbatible para un foco inteligente de colores.

buenos focos para utilizarlos con un asistente virtual. Fácil de configurar y utilizar, en las noches ya no necesito pararme antes de dormir para apagar los focos, Alexa lo hace por mí.
