The Kasa app provides control of the home from a tablet or smartphone by pairing to “smart” plugs, bulbs, or receivers throughout the house. It can communicate with devices, outlets, and other appliances to turn on and off lights, TV, radio, and much more. It can even be used to control a home thermostat. Must have TP link or similar devices to control appliances that aren’t “smart”.
Use of the device (decreased mobility, hygiene, safety etc)
For people with limited mobility, strength, or trouble controlling appliances traditionally, the Kasa app allows for simple touch control of an entire home. This gives independence, and increases safety for the individual as well as allowing enjoyment of music, TV and other fun options.
Cost
The Kasa app is a free download, but it must be paired to TP-link, X10, or other “smart” devices to allow control.
Support Needs (caregiver)
Some individuals may need help setting up plug in devices, but once plugged in and programmed relatively maintenance free.
Contraindications for device use
If devices control temperature of the house or energy expending devices make sure to monitor user if safety is a concern.
