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!
PLEASE NOTE: Only the HS110 & KP115 Energy Monitoring smart plugs are compatible with the equiwatt app.
If you have other makes or models, these cannot currently be connected to automate participation via your Kasa account.
However, you may be able to automate your plug's participation in equivents via our IFTTT integration. Learn more here
