Follow this guide to add your TP-Link Smart Plug to your equiwatt account to automatically earn points for shifting energy and saving CO2!
Once you have set up your Smart Plug in the Kasa Smart App and ensured that it is plugged in and connected to your home WiFi network, you are ready to add it to your equiwatt account!
