Kasa EP25: what it works with

TP-Link · model Kasa EP25 · sold in US

HomeKit is built into the Kasa EP25, so it joins Apple Home directly with no hub. Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings connect through your Kasa account, and Home Assistant's official TP-Link integration controls it locally. It's a US 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi plug rated 15 A / 1800 W with energy monitoring, but you'll see power data in the Kasa app, not in Apple Home. It isn't a Matter plug; TP-Link's Matter Kasa plug is the KP125M.

• Radio: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n). TP-Link says Kasa products don't support 5 GHz, Zigbee, Z-Wave or Ethernet.
• Hub: Connects straight to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; TP-Link says Kasa devices need no hub.
• Local control: Home Assistant's integration controls Kasa devices on the local network without the TP-Link cloud. The Kasa app itself uses the cloud when the plug is online.
• Energy monitoring: Real-time and historical power use in the Kasa app. Not available in Apple Home.
• Max load: 15 A, 1.8 kW at 120 V; 1/6 HP motor.

Before you buy

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.
• Energy data doesn't show in Apple Home; use the Kasa app (TP-Link also lists EP25 hardware V2.60 for energy data in SmartThings).
• Home Assistant may need your TP-Link cloud credentials once to authenticate newer units.
• No official Matter support; TP-Link's Matter Kasa plug is the KP125M.
