Technical specifications for the Kasa EP10 indicate a Wi-Fi 4 (2.4GHz) stack integrated with a mechanical relay rated for 15A resistive loads. The chassis width is restricted to 1.5 inches, ensuring adjacent outlet availability. Material analysis confirms the device uses a proprietary PCB layout that distinguishes it from generic Tuya-based hardware. Performance metrics demonstrate compatibility with local polling APIs, allowing for reduced latency in local-first automation environments.
Aggregated specification data confirms that the EP10 hardware revision does not include a shunt resistor for power tracking, nor does it support 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. Structural dimensions prioritize a compact footprint, and the device is rated for 1.8kW maximum resistive load.
Modes of operation:
- Control Interfaces: App-based, Voice-assisted, and Local polling.
- Timer Functions: Sunrise/Sunset and Schedule-based triggers.
- Safety Mechanisms: UL-certified thermal and load management.
If appliance state monitoring is required, the Kasa Mini Smart Plug should be bypassed in favor of models featuring integrated energy monitoring.
Within the broader scope of smart wall outlets, this unit represents a non-invasive solution for automating traditional AC loads.
