Overview
Kasa Smart Kasa Smart Power Strip HS300 setup takes under 15 minutes for most users — if you're stuck, the steps below target the specific points where installs stall.
This guide covers the setup and installation of the TP-Link Kasa Smart Power Strip HS300, including outlet labeling, individual outlet scheduling, and energy monitoring configuration through the Kasa Smart app. The HS300 has 6 individually controlled smart outlets plus 3 USB ports and connects directly to your WiFi without a hub.
Why This Happens in Real Homes
The HS300 is a smart power strip with six individually-controllable AC outlets (each with its own energy monitoring) plus three always-on USB ports — so the standout feature is per-outlet control and metering from one WiFi device. It connects on 2.4GHz WiFi like other Kasa gear.
Plug the strip into a powered wall outlet, put it in pairing mode, and add it in the Kasa app on a 2.4GHz network. Once online, each of the six outlets appears separately so you can name, schedule, and monitor them independently; the USB ports provide power but aren't individually switched. Install any firmware, and set your electricity rate for accurate per-outlet energy costs.
