The Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug (KP401) provides weather-proof, dual-outlet control with a long 300 ft Wi-Fi range, making it ideal for garden lights, pumps and other outdoor devices. Its limitations include a 2.4 GHz-only connection, the need to cap unused sockets, and a relatively large size. It is best suited for homeowners who need reliable, voice-controlled outdoor power management.
The Tapo P105 is an ultra-compact indoor smart plug that handles up to 1800 W and integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant and the Kasa app. It lacks energy monitoring and is limited to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with no outdoor rating. Ideal for users needing a tiny high-power plug for indoor use.
