Technical documentation for the Kasa KP303 identifies a 6-outlet distribution unit featuring individual energy monitoring for each socket. Standardized testing protocols reveal a surge protection rating of 1710 Joules, which is suitable for home office equipment. Internal FCC filings confirm a PCB layout with physical isolation between low-voltage logic components and the high-voltage AC bus, facilitating safer electrical operation. Connectivity is provided via MediaTek or Qualcomm Atheros chipsets supporting the 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz standard.
The hardware supports a 15A total load with independent relay control per outlet. While the device is cloud-enabled by default, it is compatible with local polling through specific libraries, allowing for reduced latency and operation during internet service interruptions. The three integrated USB ports are "always-on" and do not support independent software switching. Structural dimensions indicate a wide footprint that may require additional clearance in certain installations.
- Modes of operation: Local Polling, Cloud Integration, Energy Telemetry Tracking.
- Hardware protection: 1710 Joules, 15A Circuit Breaker, Trace Isolation.
Summary: A high-density smart power distributor favored for its per-outlet wattage tracking and local API accessibility, though it lacks 5GHz Wi-Fi support.
If a smaller footprint and HomeKit-native integration are required, the Eve Energy Strip - Smart Triple Outlet with Metering provides an aluminum alternative with a more compact three-outlet layout. Eve Energy Strip - Smart Triple Outlet with Metering
