Great quality, great price! Easy to install. Compatible with Home Assistant!

Work well, easy to activate, but glue is inadequate

Good lights I have above kitchen, they've lasted over a year and a half now with daily use and going strong. Work great with Alexa and other smart apps.

The Kasa Smart LED Light Strip is honestly a lot of fun. I love being able to control 50 different color zones and make the lights move or change with music — it really brings a room to life. Setting it up with Alexa and Google Assistant is a breeze, so I can just tell it what to do instead of fiddling with my phone all the time. The only downside? The colors aren’t super accurate. Sometimes what I pick in the app looks way different in real life. It’s not a dealbreaker — the effects still look great and it’s fun to play around with — but if you’re looking for perfect color precision, this might bug you a little. Overall, it’s a super cool way to jazz up a room without breaking the bank.

The light strip is relatively easy to install and provides numerous combinations of colors and effects to display based on season, holiday or personal preference. The only problem is if you have a power spike the light set may need to be reconfigured. Following a power spike I had problems and called TP-Link Support and Charlene Rosario walked me through the set up configuration.

Great set of LED for behind a TV or a room or whatever. I’ve used them for Drum Hoops, back of TV, under cabinet lights. Nice product.

8 have over 20+ kasa smart items in my home. These are very dangerous! Had strip light in my daughters room, we had painted her entire room prior, the lights were the finishing touch. Immediately smelled very hot soon as we turned them on. My brother in law is a volunteer firefighter so him n the guys came over and we're quickly able to determine the controller was instantly overheating to the point I couldn't hold it after 20 sec. We took apart to see if wires had crossed. Didn't notice anything. We plugged it back in and I touched the circuit board and practically melted my finger print off. Very scary, especially in my young daughters room. Not to mention the paint damage after taking them down. Very disappointed.

Update: after just under 2 years, all my LED strips have started going offline every month or two, all at the same time, and require a complete reinstall which takes a good half hour. Super annoying. I don't know if there was a firmware or app update that destabilized everything. All my bulbs and switches have worked flawlessly so I know it's not a problem with my network. Also, two of my LED strips no longer respond properly to scheduling on the app, i.e. they turn on randomly and don't turn off when they should. Reinstall doesn't fix the problem. I loved these lights but don't know that I'd buy them again after all this. Original review: I recently built myself a house and have 7 of these light strips installed in various places, mostly as uplighting. I'm generally really happy with them but had a frustrating time with installation. I'll break this into installation and functionality / app interface. Install: For a normal use case, installation really couldn't be easier. The app walks you through step by step and has never failed me. But I had unusual circumstances, and these Kasa lights weren't well designed for going off-script. I have a 12V transformer in my utility room that feeds power to all my LED strips, allowing me to have them all on one switch, controllable by anyone who doesn't have my phone. I found that if I accidentally reversed the polarity of the wires when wiring power to the controller modules, the modules burned out instantly. This is an absolutely trivial thing to protect against on a circuit board, costing mere pennies in additional diodes/hardware. Thumbs down for cheaping out on this. The LED strips also failed where I needed to solder in an extension between the controller and strip (because the strip was located more than a few feet away from the power supply). This strip now works on solid colors but flickers when switching colors, so I can't run effects on it. Again, this won't affect most users but if your use case requires cutting and extending any part of the wiring, don't expect these to perform properly. App control: incredibly responsive. Most of the time lights turn on/off instantly. I also have a bunch of Kasa bulbs, switches, and smart plugs, and they all work perfectly. Coming from a 1st generation Hue system (absolutely terrible reliability), Kasa leaves little to be desired. Here's what I wish they would change: 1. All my lights are scheduled to turn on some number of minutes after sunset, which I love. But the app only allows you to turn them on/off up to 59 minutes before/after sunset/sunrise. Why not add an hours wheel so you can have them turn off, say, 4 hours after sunset? 2. The claim of 16 million colors is a joke. Not that these 16-bit RGB LEDs aren't capable of it, but the app interface limits the color options profoundly. With a 2" color wheel on the app and a 3/4"-wide index finger, I'd be surprised if I could select more than 100 different colors. Until Kasa adds a 0-255 RGB slider interface, their "16 million" claim is more than a little disingenuous.
