Difference between HS105 and HS103
Difference between HS105 and HS103
Hi,
I bought an Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen, that included a Kasa plug.
All my old plugs were HS103, and I noticed this one is HS105.
What's the difference?

Their functions are almost same, compared with HS105, only lower the max load to 10A;
Their appearance has some changes; the HS103 uses the grey button, HS105 uses white;
Besides, the HS103 is cheaper than HS105.
Best regards.

It is related to the appliance plugged into the HS103, the max load will be lower than the HS105;
While it can satisfy the common devices request to power them up.
Good day.

A basic question : What does the Max Load mean for these two smart plug siblings? Thanks!

I'm guessing the most common use is lighting products, but it can make a big difference if it's switching a motor. In lighting, which is most widely known to consumers, 5 Amps is equal to 600 watts of a traditional incandescent light bulb (these are 120V). If you are nearing that 5amp difference on a motor, it could be a problem. But I personally can't think of a motor you'd use a smart plug with that would be a problem unless it's a very large fan you want to control from a smart phone. Maybe a space heater? Anyway, hopefully this helps a bit get you an idea in your head on what to watch out for. I have the smaller 10a running all of my Christmas lights and it's fine. But I agree, just keep the 15 amp to eliminate one product and problems for consumers. Must have been to compete against a less expensive, similar product.
