TP-Link Introduces Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip With Voice Control

TP-Link announced the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi power strip Thursday, with six outlets that can make any powered device a smart product, said the company. Users can control a device from inside or away from the home, and monitor energy consumption by app, it said. If a device is using too much power, it can be shut off via the app, said the company. The $79 device, with surge protection, can be voice-controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant or Microsoft Cortana, it said.
