Ideal for My Reef Tank

Recently inherited a reef tank. The previous owner gave me his programmable aquarium expander, but I decided to replace it with this one. PERFECT SOLUTION. I should pat myself on the back. Pros: 1. I can turn each outlet on and off individually from my phone. No more reaching for the back of the aquarium stand when I want to turn off certain components when changing water.2. I can set a timer for each outlet on my phone. Much simpler interface than any time switch.3. I can see the power of each outlet on my phone. That means I can tell when the automatic tank heater turns on by looking at how much current is being drawn at the heater output. As you know, the thermostats of many aquarium heaters are prone to failure. That gives me an extra layer of security. I haven't tried the fancy Alexa integrations, and I don't plan to. The Kasa app interface is very easy to use. I hope they never update it. You know how engineers love to update apps and ruin a great product? I hope they don't do that to Kasa.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Volume
