Aoycocr Alexa Smart Plugs - Mini Bluetooth WIFI Smart Socket Switch Works With Alexa Echo Google Home, Remote Control Smart Outlet with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL/FCC Listed 4 Pack

After opening it I plugged it in where I wanted it (upstairs and quite a ways from my router) and the app found it right away. I tried twice to connect to it up there and failed. Then I thought it’s like most things, the closer to the router the easier to connect. Plugged it in 3 feet from my router and connected in 15 seconds. Changed the name in the app to describe what it controls and automatically was in the Alexa app. I did have to set up 2 routines so it would turn on and off the light I wanted at the time I wanted but that only took a couple of minutes. I guess what helped me is I already had the Smart Life app installed and had used it before with some candelabra bulbs I purchased a while back. I’ve had it for a couple of days now and so far no problem. For 10 bucks works as well as my true Amazon Plugs that I have bought in the past. I would and probably will buy again.

The product definitely works just not what I expected. I used this for my ac so I could cool down my room without having to go upstairs before bed. I didnt know that when you shut down the ac it goes back to a preset temp. So keep that in mind if youre using it for a similar reason. Although the product definitely works I dont love that you have to download an app for it. Not sure what I was expecting but Im definitely not disappointed. For some reason I thought it just would connect to my alexa app since it mentioned alexa integration. Also possible that I havent figured it out yet...

Love how it works. They could improve the on-off switch. When you plug it in, the power/Wi-Fi button is hard to get to. On the bottom, so when you’re close to the floor it’s hard to see what color it’s glowing. Also, written instructions are small, could be clearer, and were hidden on the side of the box. It took some doing but glad I bought them!

The set up is a little annoying. You have to use the manufacturers app, then you have to have the Alexa app. It is straight forward enough, but seriously, we should be at the point, where I should be able to just tell Alexa to add a new device, right? And there is one more random fact, which is that the plug can only be voice activated from one of your Alexa devices. Why? Who knows. But it is cool to be able to turn on a light from the app. Very cool.

After 45 minutes, Im sad to report that SmartLife should be the app you use to bring it into Alexa. Do not use the printed instructions. Do not do anything but use SmartLife. Once its connected, works perfectly!

We had smart plugs earlier and the functionality was amazing nothing to complain. This new buy was the same. Timers work perfectly. This was bought mainly for Christmas lights and they were just functioning perfectly. Did use all, just 2 did it for me and they were perfect.

I have two lamps, exactly the same. I turned both on then plugged each of them from the wall into a socket. The sockets were both paired, indicating ON status in the app, with the ON lights indicated... but only one lamp was lit. I unplugged both from the sockets and into the wall then both lamps worked as expected. Therefore one socket was non functional. :( EDIT: I received a replacement and it works well EDIT: it is now 5 months later and one completely stopped working.... these things are junk.

2 out of the 4 pack stopped working after 5 months of use. Started clicking on/off and won’t stop until unplugged.

I love it - thats why I keep buying it. But it lasts about 14 to 18 months. Thats why I bought 5 of them, since the bluetooth stops working properly after 14 to 18 months. I see from my Amazon order history that yes, I keep buying one 14 to 18 months since they break. I think warranty is 1 year. My last one lasted 7 months. but its great when it works!

I love that I can set and control this socket from my phone. When I come home, the house is lit up and looks great.
