Since you already have them: what's your impression? Problems? Special features?
I've only had them connected for a couple of days but haven't experienced any problems. Connecting them to my WiFi network was painless using the KASA app. It was just as easy to pair it with my echo to give it voice commands. Delay is very minimal too, almost instant.
The only drawback is the size. One plug will hog an entire wall outlet. I know they have smaller versions but haven't seen a good deal on those yet.
I use this to measure my AC usage in the summer, but have now swapped them to hard to reach lights.
Only negative is it blocks other outlets with its size.
I got these when they were $23.99. I've set it up with both Google Home and Alexa. I haven't had any connectivity issues, but I also haven't had any power outages yet either.
Important note, right after you set it up, it asks for a firmware update and you need to be super careful then. I had it on the plug where my lamp usually is, switched it off accidentally and completely bricked one of the two plugs I got.
I talked to TP link customer care and are still waiting to hear back if they will replace that one
