The Kasa KP115 (Mini) is a dedicated energy monitoring node utilizing a MediaTek SoC optimized for IoT throughput. Forensic analysis of the logic board reveals a dedicated energy metering chipset (HLW8012 or BL0937) providing approximately 1% accuracy for electrical metrics including wattage, voltage, and amperage. The mechanical relay is rated for a 15A resistive load at standard residential voltages.
The device uses the Kasa protocol, which allows for local polling and integration with third-party automation controllers without requiring cloud-based workarounds. Structural dimensions are oriented vertically to ensure that a single unit does not occupy the physical space required for a second plug in a duplex wall outlet. The internal architecture features copper trace isolation between high-voltage AC paths and low-voltage logic components.
Aggregated performance reports indicate the relay switching is audibly perceptible. The hardware is strictly 2.4GHz Wi-Fi compatible and is sensitive to RF congestion in environments with high-density wireless traffic. It lacks native Matter or Thread support, relying instead on the established Kasa firmware stack for operational logic.
- Metering accuracy: +/- 1% for wattage telemetry.
- Control path: Local polling support (Kasa protocol).
- Relay rating: 15A resistive load.
For users operating in congested Wi-Fi environments, the Linkind Matter-enabled plug offers an alternative communication standard through the Matter-over-Wi-Fi protocol.
This device is classified under energy monitoring smart plugs, providing high-precision data for power analysis.
