Yes, you can use a UK plug in Kenya. The voltage in Kenya is the same as in the UK, so you won't need a voltage converter. However, you will need to use an adapter to fit the different plug shape.
There's no definitive answer, as it depends on the specific plugs and outlets in Tanzania. In general, however, European plugs will not work in Tanzania. You'll need to purchase adapters in order to use your European appliances in Tanzania.
If you're travelling to Poland, you will need a travel adaptor in order to plug in your electronic devices. The standard voltage in Poland is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz. Poland uses the standard European plug type C and plug type E.
Most electrical sockets in Tanzania are the same as in the United Kingdom. However, some older buildings may have three-pronged sockets that are not compatible with UK plugs. If you are travelling to Tanzania, it is advisable to bring a travel adaptor so that you can charge your devices.

possessed a guitar tube amp with a faulty grounding plug. Since I was away from the amp and unsure of what gauge I needed or how the connection within the amp looked, I chose to temporarily take the "easy" way out rather than replace the entire cord.But after this task was over, I was 100 percent certain that the product was of a high caliber. The connections appear to be extremely secure. While I have no plans to use it, it seems like the plug could withstand numerous pulls from the cord before breaking.And from the to end, installation was quite simple, save for lining up the setting screws when you were ready to secure it.If I needed to replace another grounded plug in the future, I would have very little reason to go elsewhere.

I've just had it for a day, but so far, so good. Working with the Kasa app and connecting to WiFi went smoothly. not used with Alexa or any comparable gadget.The description and documentation, to the extent that they really exist, are the problem. For instance, I was interested in finding out if the Away Mode, which switches on and off at random intervals, allowed for more than one cycle each interval. Even tech help (through chat) was unable to provide the solution because the documentation is ambiguous. (It transpires that the response is YES.)The inability to turn off away modes and schedules with a single button press is a feature that appears to be lacking in at least one rival (Geeni). Think about this scenario: You have different lights set up to make it appear as though you are at home when you are actually away, but you don't want them to turn on and off while you are at home, say, attempting to read a book. When you leave the house, you should be able to activate all schedules and away modes by pressing a single button. When you return, you should do the same. You can disable the various scheduling events, but who wants to move 35 sliders every time they leave the house and then move them again when they get home? There is no need to change the gadget physically to add this capability; software can do it. (Several responses to my Amazon question that I posted claimed that such a button exists. No, it doesn't.Despite these issues, I'll keep using these gadgets because they (almost, as far as I can tell right now) implement the system exactly as the inventors intended. (I don't share my security lights with regular lights; I have separate lights exclusively for the Kasa system.) The designers must examine the numerous use cases to determine how well or poorly their system addresses the crucial scenarios. They seem overly fixated with showy demos, in my opinion ("Alexa, TV scene", "Alexa, turn on my reading light", etc.)Voice control, sceneries, or any other fancy features are not included in my assessment because I have no interest in them.

Okay, full disclosure: my wife used the hedge clippers to cut the extension cord. I normally like to use an electric chainsaw to cut through the extension cord, therefore I would never do that. In any case, I now know two things about using electric gardening and lawn equipment: In order to increase your chances of success, link the tool to an inexpensive 6-foot extension cord. Additionally, keep one of these connections on available because you'll eventually need it. It happened in our situation a few weeks ago, following the hedge-clipper incident. I had to strip wires for ten or fifteen minutes before I could bolt everything back together and fix the cord. My 100-foot cord has been cut down by a few feet, but it's still functional. Additionally, my wife did a really excellent job on the hedge, I must say.

I had high expectations for these little WiFi outlets because I've used TP-Link products successfully in the past, and they didn't let me down.1) They were easy to set up; all you had to do was plug them in and use the Kasa app to customize them. If you have an Echo, you can add these as new devices with ease using the Alexa app so that you can control them verbally as well. (They work with Google Home devices, too.)2) They protrude from the outlet by only approximately an inch and a half, making them compact and unobtrusive. You CAN put two of them into the same outlet, one above the other, due to their small size.They don't need a hub because they connect over WiFi, which is a major benefit.4) They are incredibly simple to operate with the well-designed and understandable Kasa app. The app allows you to configure schedules so that lights or other appliances turn on and off at specific times in addition to turning plugs on and off.These have worked flawlessly for me in terms of connectivity, and I would definitely buy them again. (In fact, I'm virtually certain to buy more since I constantly coming across new applications for them.)A piece of advice for Echo users: I try to keep the variety of the brands and manufacturers of my smart home gadgets to a minimum because each brand often has its own smartphone app, which adds another level of complexity to the entire setup. However, it is inevitable that you will have equipment from many brands. Instead of utilizing the phone apps for each specific brand to set schedules and routines for plugs, lamps, and other devices, you can configure all of their schedules using the Alexa app. This makes things much simpler because you can view all of your devices' schedules in ONE app.

Review of the TP-LINK Wi-Fi Smart Plug HS100I recently bought a Smart Plug (HS100) to verify that the item supports Alexa (Amazon Echo) and offers simple, dependable, secure remote control of plugged-in devices. Pros and downsides are listed below.If you use consumer Wi-Fi (IP) cameras like Foscam, you may be familiar with the technology behind this device and have some privacy and security concerns. A webcam has a microprocessor that can be configured with network information, operating settings, and user preferences. This microprocessor in turn manages a camera that can be watched using an app. A Smart Plug has a programmable microcontroller that manages a power switch that can be observed via an app. Each situation allows for both local (LAN) and distant (Internet WAN) control.After validating that the Plug does, in fact, function as promised, I became more interested in how and where operational data—provided by the app—is saved and protected. That is, I'm not sure if all operational data is kept in non-volatile memory on the Plug in order to secure such data locally and in case of prolonged power outages. What information is kept on the TP-LINK Cloud server if remote control is used?The plug "has internal storage for its own status and the schedule.... a copy of the schedule is stored in the plug itself and does not depend on having a persistent internet connection to function.... plug does depend on the power to keep time so that it can act on scheduled events," according to a Vine Voice review from January 23, 2016.]Operational data is retained on-board if the Plug functions like a Wi-Fi webcam, as may be seen by connecting a local web browser to the camera's internal web server. However, regardless of whether it has a web server running or not [there is a http port], a Smart Plug does not offer browser access. Cloud-based data storage and collecting are made possible by remotely utilizing a manufacturer's software, whether for a camera or a Plug.Additionally, since Wi-Fi cameras and Smart Plugs are computers, they occasionally fail or have issues and require resetting. Because of this, dependability is important. Only time will tell. There is a two-year warranty for The Plug.As a result, setup was quite simple, and I learned that the best (though not perfect) instructions are found on the Support part of TP-website, LINK's rather than in the Quick Start Guide that comes with the device.* * *s[...]How can I use Kasa to link my TP-LINK Smart Plug to my home network?How can I connect my TP-LINK Smart Plug to my Amazon Echo?* * *Firstly, download the "Kasa" app to your iPhone.2. Start Kasa. Set up a TP-LINK (Cloud / P2P registry server) account if you wish to use the Smart Plug with Alexa (Remote Control) and log in after receiving an email with activation instructions; alternatively, you can skip establishing up an account if you only want local control.3. With your iPhone connected to a local 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, launch Kasa and follow the on-screen instructions to: (a) plug the Smart Plug into an AC outlet; (b) select Add Device > SMART PLUG; (c) connect to the Smart Plug's Wi-Fi network via your iPhone's Wi-Fi settings; (d) give your Plug a special name; and (e) link the Plug to your local Wi-Fi (with or without Remote Control, but Alexa requires Remote Control enabled).To utilize Alexa with a Smart Plug:A. Tap on Smart Home and then the TP-LINK Kasa item in the Alexa app settings on your iPhone (through the "hamburger" icon). Then, sign in using your TP-LINK (Cloud) account name and password.B. Click Discover devices (search your Wi-Fi LAN) near the bottom of the Smart Home page to add your specified Smart Plug, which will then be listed.C. Say "Turn on/off (name of plug)" to Alexa.Pros• Effective product and packaging design (both hardware and app).• Works without a hub with Alexa.• Relatively simple setup.• WiFi connectivity enables two-way conversation for management and current status (unlike one-way powerline modules).• Remote access without router settings (port forwarding) [likely using a cloud or peer-to-peer server owned by the business (or a subcontractor) like most Wi-Fi cameras].Maximum 15A load.• The ability to move the unit without losing settings when unplugged from the AC.• Reasonable cost.• Comments from TP-LINK in support of Amazon reviews.Warranty of two years.Minor Drawbacks• No 5 GHz Wi-Fi support (okay as long as most routers are dual band).• Cord protrudes even further from wall due to plug socket being on front of unit rather than the side or bottom (as on X-10 modules).• There is no method to turn off the status LED (like on Sonos speakers).• Alexa's capabilities are limited to on/off commands alone.Cons• Size (see photos): larger than the typical X-10 appliance module (longer and thicker); even thicker and almost the same length as the X-10 Pro appliance module.• If plugged into the bottom outlet, it covers both outlets; if connected into the top outlet, it covers the bottom outlet's upper border, rendering the bottom outlet useless.Concerns• UL recognitionSome reviewers expressed concern with UL certification (which is not marked on the product or box). The producer claimed to have acquired certification. I found a listing for XACN.E481494 Miscellaneous Controls Operating Control, Smart Plug, Model(s) HS100, HS110 Last Updated on 2016-03-29 after searching UL's Online Certifications Directory (database).• Heat accumulation when some (high power) appliances are connectedSome reviewers were concerned that the Plug might become overheated. The Plug has only received connections from LED lamps up to 10 W, so I can't yet comment on potential heat problems. The Plug "shall remain well within a safe temperature range," according to the manufacturer.• Protection of data stored in Plug's memory and TP-Cloud LINK's through security and encryption.The producer claimed: "A TP-LINK Cloud Account is necessary to remotely control your Smart Plug. Your Cloud Account is safe and private, and you alone have power over remote access to your Smart Plug through the Kasa App. The market standard for Smart Plugs and other Smart Home gadgets is cloud accounts and cloud servers."The Smart Plug collects Wi-Fi profile information from your phone during setup in order to connect to your network; it does not provide or communicate any password information to us.1. Privacy (privacy trade-offs)Questions about data collection and sharing of personal data, whether anonymized or not, for marketing and promotion, including partners and other third parties, are raised by the comprehensive Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Device names, groups, schedules, locations, and "use information" are all examples of "device submissions."Program restrictions• The sunrise and sunset timer cannot be offset, however randomization can be added by using the Away mode.Questions1. Security: Is the Wi-Fi password recorded in TP-cloud LINK's or just in Plug's memory? Encrypted?2. Safety: Are timers, schedules, and away settings saved in the cloud or in Plug's memory? Encrypted?3. Is it true that plugs cannot interact with one another? TP-LINK Cloud alone, only?

In our case, the problem is caused by 3/4" (OD) PEX piping (or tube, if you prefer), which protrudes from the ground about 8 feet from the edge of a 10 foot deep porch. The pipe is entirely exposed to outside temperatures and fastened to the underside of floor joists. Along that porch, it serves two hose bibs that are 50 feet apart. Thus, the total length must be protected is about 70 feet, including the legs of the branch. I placed the unique end connector and began about 6 inches above the ground (to prevent exposure to any possible passing water) with about 6 inches or so of shrink tubing acting as "tape." I made one turn in a spiral around the 16-inch pipe. I managed to resume running the HEATIT tape to the main supply for the 50-foot line to the hose bib and leg at the end after running the tape from the tee up to the brass hose bibs (tape portion near hose bibs was securely wrapped to protect from rain/moisture). All were rehung under the joists after being wrapped in self-sealing foam insulation that was 1/2" thick by 1" (ID). The installation was finished by plugging the power supply adapter or cord into a thermostatic outlet. The most difficult component was dealing with the spool and keeping flat contact with the pipe, especially since there was only about 14 inches of space between the joist and the ground.When temperatures finally fell into the low 20s (F), I took a sample at the hose bib and measured the water temperature at 95F and the exterior temperature of the brass hose bib at 65F using an IR gun. That means the 6 inches of exposed PEX from the ground up should also be nice and toasty. Voila, issue is resolved!

I wanted to check out some smart plugs because I am new to smart home automation and I wanted to get some that weren't too expensive so I could do some basic things like switch some lights on and off, on a schedule, or as needed without getting out of bed (or when I'm not home). I wanted more than one, so I looked about and discovered this 2 pack, which I chose to try since it had some positive ratings, setup instructions given online, and was less expensive than some of the other options. It's a good bonus that it works with one of the more well-liked voice-controlled smart hubs because I also intend to get an Amazon Echo Dot soon, which can be used with these smart plugs to add some further voice-controlled functions.I read some reviews that advised checking your email for a message about the appropriate app for your Android or iPhone device, so I did just that. I received a message with a link to download the appropriate app, and from that point on, everything has gone well using the app on my Android smartphone. I was also able to use a number of the reviews on this page to aid me in setting up and connecting, and because to the clear instructions in their evaluations, the procedure isn't too difficult and becomes even simpler after the initial setup.The plug itself seems to be well-made, appears to be long-lasting, and is tiny enough that, when plugged in, it won't obstruct the other socket (see photo) on a wall outlet with two plugs. I installed one so I wouldn't have to get out of bed to turn off the lights in my bedroom. My weed-eater battery is plugged into a plug that I set up the second device to regulate. This works perfectly so that it can set up on a charge timer for 8 hours, which is the time it takes to fully charge the battery. I frequently forget to charge them each weekend before mowing and I don't like leaving them on the charger all the time (they get hot and also seems like a waste of electricity as it would vampire drain to just keep them topped off). Currently, I do this by setting a cellphone alarm for Friday night so that I can plug it in to charge overnight, and then on Saturday I mow and edge the yard. However, occasionally I'll go out on a Friday night and forget to plug them in when I get home because the alarm already went off and I wasn't home to do it. Therefore, doing it this manner will be simple—just set it and forget it. Home automation is designed to make life easier and allow you to do tasks without getting up or leaving the house in order to turn something on or off.When I have more experience with these plugs, setting them up, and using them with the Amazon Echo Dot, I will update my review. I am hoping to have the Echo Dot shortly.

Our second stray cat currently resides on our front porch. He seems to have taken particularly well to the heated kitty pad and outside thermal water dish that we have placed next to the dog house that we have built up. Of course, the regular meals and goodies also tempt him to return.I can connect a line from the garage to the dog home and water bowl this winter thanks to this twin socket themo cube, which works great. The water and the cat aren't freezing because of the recent low teens and single digit overnight temperatures. At 35° and 45°, it turns on and off.The cat, Dodger, is pleased with it.

REVISION JULY 2019:I bought a second one to use as outdoor lighting for my tiki bar, and I would have given it more stars if I could! Installation and functioning are both incredibly easy and perfect. Before you begin, download the app; the rest is easy. So adaptable and user-friendly!This was my initial buy, and so far it's been perfect for my pool pump. The setup was simple and excellent, and the app's flexibility to create a schedule or manually switch it on or off suits my needs perfectly.Since it must connect to the router through two inside walls and one outdoor wall before exiting to the socket, which is around 45 feet from the home, it appears to have a strong range.
