Don,
If there is a way to set up user defined times to turn the TP Link smart plug
on and off via the Kasa app, I can't find them. I do enjoy using my Amazon Echo
to turn the lamp connected to mine on and off.

Hello,
I do use it, and love it. Battery life is great, about seven hours of
non-stop chatting. Sound is pretty good for a mono headset, and call
quality is great, even with heavy background noise. I can highly recommend
this headset.
Thanks.

Hi,
The five-device limit is for computers. You can deauthorize a particular
computer by choosing Deauthorize from the Account menu in iTunes, and once a

Why not use more objective language and stop calling Aira “stupid” and other
