Linkind Matter Smart Plug
Score: 78/100Rankings

The Kasa KP400 is a dual-outlet outdoor smart plug with an IP64 rating, long Wi-Fi range and voice-assistant integration for up to 1875 W of power. It does not provide energy monitoring and is limited to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, requiring a GFCI-protected outlet for safe outdoor use. Ideal for homeowners who want reliable remote control of moderate-power outdoor devices such as lights or holiday decorations.

The Linkind Matter Smart Plug is a compact, high-power outlet with seamless Matter integration and voice control across major ecosystems. Its main trade-offs are the lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi, the need for a Matter hub, and no energy-monitoring feature. Ideal for users building a Matter-based smart home who need a reliable, high-load plug for indoor use.
