Kasa Smart Plug Classic HS105
Score: 79/100
Wyze Plug Outdoor
Score: 79/100Rankings
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 Wyze Plug Outdoor provides dual 15 A outlets, IP64 weather resistance and energy monitoring for robust outdoor automation. Its size and 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi limit placement in tight spaces and very cold climates. Ideal for users who need reliable smart control of outdoor lighting and seasonal equipment.

Professional reviewers consider the HS105 a solid entry-level smart plug, emphasizing its space-saving form factor, easy installation, and dependable voice integration, while noting that power-monitoring enthusiasts will need to look at the HS110 or EP25 for those capabilities.
Customers generally express satisfaction with the plug's reliability, straightforward setup, and compactness, but many wish it included energy monitoring and broader Wi-Fi compatibility.
“the box itself is ridiculously efficient on power.”
“the Wyze Plug Outdoor is "a little chunkier" than competing outdoor plugs but for good reason”
Professional reviewers praise the Wyze Plug Outdoor for its remarkable power efficiency, extended Wi-Fi range, and high-amp dual-outlet design, noting that the modest increase in size is a trade-off for durability and performance. The built-in light sensor and lack of a required hub are highlighted as strong points, while the bulkier chassis is the primary criticism.
Everyday users consistently commend the plug's dual-outlet flexibility, high amperage rating, and energy-monitoring features, especially for outdoor lighting and seasonal devices. Common complaints revolve around the 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi limitation, the larger physical footprint, and temperature constraints in very cold climates.
