Just waiting for when these get DDOSed by North Korean state sponsored hackers and take out the national grid. For a bit.

How do you link it with Alexa? I'm using that app to control it still :disappointed:
Also how do you talk to Alexa when you're on the other side of the house? Do I need 2?

Does this require the dot thing to control verbally? Or can you use the alexa voice controls via the fire tv stick?

Still trying to think of a use for one of these plugs?. What would I desperately need to switch on at home whilst I'm out and about.

I have all my TV etc. on one and one lamp - means the TV, record player, speaker etc. are off at night and when away.
The lamp means I can turn it on and off remotely when away, or have to come on at dusk.
I have two of the HS110 - but can't see any real point in the energy consumption readings. This is more than enough.
I do not have any device to control them apart from my phone.
Despite having two, I can't see any point in buying any more.

I use these way more at home. Even without voice control, my heating is electric, so i can turn it on an off from bed, or indeed, when i'm on my way home on the bus... and there's no sockets near my bed, so it's handy being able to turn my lamp on and off without getting up.
It also has scheduling and timer functions, so you can program it to turn on and off (again, great for the heating in my case. Turn of in 1 hour, or schedule it for 6-7am)
You can also use it as part of a smart home network, with Echo/Google devices, or with IFTTT.com triggers, to turn things on and off based on other inputs.
I don't have a fire TV, so i'm not 100%, but i'm pretty sure this was something people use IFTTT.com to work around, until it was eventually added as a native option on fire TVs, so there should be 2 ways you can do this now.
You have to add a skill for Kasa (the app used to control TP-link switches manually) and link your account, but after that it appears in your Smart Home devices with the name you gave it in Kasa, so you can say "Turn on TV" or "Turn on lamp". You need to be in the same room as Alexa or use the app.
