Amazon Smart Plug, for home automation, Works with Alexa - A Certified for Humans Device

Works great

Can control from away when on vacation love it

Product is great easy set up with your alexa echo.

These are about the fourth brand that Ive used, and the best. I had Wemos, which were very fussy and hard to install (the QR code you have to scan is on the side of the plug that faces the wall!! What engineer thought that that was a good idea??). Wemos also required their own app, and there was always a conflict between the Wemo app and Apple Home. On the other hand, these Amazon brand work seamlessly, you just plug them in and almost before you can open the Alexa app to name them they are live and ready to go. The only downside is that they are about 3x as expensive as other, no-name brands. If you need a lot you might wait until they go on sale.

Easy to install along with downloading Alexa. Bought two for when I am out of town, but I still use it when I am at home. Totally satisfied. Wished I had bought them sooner!

I have only had a few occurrences of this not responding as expected. It has worked fine 95% of the time.

so ez even 77 yr old can hook up(I am and I did)also makes much easier to use

I love it. I use it to control my fan so I don’t have to get up to turn it on when it gets to hot.

I have Amazons Flex and like it very much. I decided to add a couple of smart plugs because I am disabled and sometimes getting up to turn lights on or off can be difficult. The first plug I got I used for the lights by my bed. Sometimes when Im tired and ready to sleep the activity involved in getting up to turn off a light wakes me up enough I *cant* sleep, which is really annoying. This has solved that problem. I just tell Alexa, Lights off, and theyre off. I love it. But. Setup was not intuitive at all. It took me about a half hour to wade thru the hassle of persuading Alexa that there actually was such a plug and getting her to name it. Part of the problem was that Alexa doesnt recognize the term Smart Plug, which is what I was ignorantly calling the smart plug. I finally figured out that I should be calling it Plug 1. Once that was going, I thought I would add an extra plug for a lamp I sometimes use. Plugging it in and turning it on wasnt sufficient for Alexa to find it, even tho I remembered to call it Plug 2. After searching thru the Alexa app on my Fire tablet I finally found a way to get Bluetooth to add it. Then Alexa was willing to rename it for me and it now works. All this took me over a half hour, but Im almost happy with it. Almost happy? Its theoretically possible to pair the two up so I can turn both on or off at once, but Bluetooth doesnt seem to know what the devices are so Alexa doesnt know, so its going to take another half hour, or more, to get that feature turned on. I recently read an article by a smart-home tech expert who says hes going with another brand (Google?) because Alexa can be too finicky. I dont want the stuff he was having problems with, like a curtain opener, but the hassle with setting up these two plugs makes me feel hes got a point. Still, things are easier for me than they were and I AM largely pleased with the results. It just seems like it should be simpler to get it going. If their e-readers and Fire tablets were this hard to setup, no one would buy them.

Love it! Dont have to through when I forget to turn light off. Also get up to turn it on. It is very convenient!
