EIGHTREE Smart Plug
Score: 77/100Rankings
The TP-Link Kasa HS105 is a compact, hub-free smart plug that offers reliable on/off control, scheduling and voice integration for up to 1800 W. It lacks energy monitoring and 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, and does not work with Apple HomeKit. Best suited for budget-conscious users who need basic control without extra features.
The Eightree Smart Plug offers high-power capacity and built-in energy monitoring in a compact, flame-retardant design, with easy Alexa and Google Assistant voice control. Its drawbacks include 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi, optional Zigbee that needs a hub, and a basic user interface. It suits budget-focused users who want energy-tracking for high-load devices.
