Accepted Answer

Please refer to the Video first:

TP-Link smart devices can be controlled by Kasa App locally and remotely. By this means we can easily make the home smart. This article will introduce how to connect the TP-Link Smart Plug/Switch to the home network.

Note

If your Apple device is IOS 14 or above, please have the "Local Network" enabled first following the FAQ

Before we begin:

1. Please download Kasa Smart from App Store or Google Play and install it on your smartphone.

2. Connect your smartphone to your home Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz only).

3. Plug your Smart Plug into a power socket.

Here we take HS110 for example.

Steps to configure TP-Link Smart Plug via Kasa App.

1. Open the Kasa App and login to your cloud account.

a. If you don’t have an account, please sign up with one refer to How to create a TP-Link Cloud Account on Kasa

b. Login to the Kasa App with your cloud account.

2. Add your Smart Plug on Kasa APP. Tap “+” and “Add a Device”, then click on “Smart plug” and choose an icon according to your model number.

3. Follow the instruction on the Kasa app to power on the HS110, and wait for the Wi-Fi light to blink orange and green.

If the light does not blink orange and green, please reset the HS110 as per the User Guide/Quick Installation Guide.

4. Connect your phone to the Smart Plug Wi-Fi. There is a difference between Android and iOS phone in this step.

For Android: Kasa will look for your Kasa Cam automatically, and it will take about a minute.

If you have a problem in this step, please go to Settings->Wi-Fi on your smart phone and manually connect to HS110’s Wi-Fi network (same as iOS).

Note

If the phone pops up a message “this Wi-Fi network is unsecured/unprotected, your privacy and data may be at risk”. with 2 options "Disconnect or connect anyway / keep using this Wi-Fi / stay connected”, don't worry about it, just select "connect anyway/keep using this Wi-Fi/stay connected", then continue the setup.

For iOS: You need to connect to the HS100’s Wi-Fi network manually, please go to Settings->Wi-Fi on your smart phone and connect to HS100’s Wi-Fi network (which is named as TP-LINK_Smart Plug_XXXX), and then go back to the Kasa app to continue the setup process.

Note

After connecting to the device’s Wi-Fi, it will prompt that there is No Internet Connection, don't worry about it, please return to Kasa app to continue the setup.

5. Connect the smart Plug to your home network. If you cannot find your home network in the Wi-Fi list, please click on “Join Other Network” on the bottom of the Wi-Fi list, then enter your home network SSID and password manually. After this step, your smart plug will be connected to your home network.

6. Name your smart plug.

7. Customize an icon for this Smart Plug. We can choose an icon from the list, choose from the “Albums” of our smartphone or take a photo. Then enjoy your smart plug.
