These plugs are great, I used them with all my Christmas things including my tree, I set everything on the timer to turn on and off every day, normally I had to go to each thing to turn on and off, been using past two years, I use them for anything that I have even after Christmas

Out of 2 I bought, one stopped working after a few weeks. The other one is fine.

Truly Cheapest ones i found in Amazon and close to 5 star reviews with so many satisfied customers according reviews. So when i was looking for smart plugs, I jumped on these. I purchased all together 16 of them. It has been almost a month. Enough time to be familiar with them. All the plugs were used in different remote locations and for different devices to be turned on off remotely and used with schedules and smart groupings. Many began to fail. For example, One just did not work after a 3 weeks of working and many effort went it to it to figure out why it was not working (Amazon tech service were consulted as well). Final conclusion for this one was that it Just failed and did not work even though it was giving all the right indications that it was working ( switch lights indications, and from smart life app). Other failing issues are, failing Erratically from scheduled times I have set ( not come on of fail to turn of at scheduled off time) and just fail to connect ( dropped from wifi network) and becomes ‘off line’. I would not mined so much if all the failing devices are located near by where i just go and reset them but most of them are off sights and hours away so until I am there, I could not do anything ( not knowing if it is on ? Or off? That is not good). One issue is that it is odd is that three of the smart plugs are using same net work of wifi close to each other and always same two fails and drops from the net work and becomes ‘off line’. So this is situation, out of 16 i got, 5 of them gives me this problem of offline where i just can not control from Smart life app so they become useless till I go to reset ( but fails again in couple of day and must wait till i get there again to reset them) . About the scheduling failure, i am not so much in concern Right Now since as long as i can turn them on or off remotely, i can live with it. So I have 6 that fails of of 16 and these ones i am in process of returning for a full refund before 30 days of return period guide line from Amazon (after that i am to contact directly to manufacture since it was sold, according to amazon, there after). Smart plugs are very convenient if they work. So i am going to try different brands that works better. Once I find them, my intention is to retune all to this manufacturer. I hope I am not the only one having these problems. It can not be. 6 failed smart plugs out of 16 is like over 35% failure rate which means since it comes 4 outlet in a box, at least one should be defective ( from 30 days of trial. Who know how long these switches will last before they all fail...). Other brands i am looking at right now regardless of the prices are gosund ( amazon certified) and wyze ( I have 11 cameras and am happy with) brand. Good luck

I bought a four-pack of these smart plugs last year and after deploying them, I got a second set recently. Easy to add. I would note that one of the first 4 failed after about a year of usage, so I cannot rate the longevity at this point.

Out of four, three work perfect.

I open a store and this has instantly changed my life. No more ladders to plug store lights

These are great and easy to setup/use. I have a pair of bug zappers and hooked them up in the bedroom and kitchen. Now when I see a bug buzzing around I just tell Alexa to turn on my bug zappers Alexa shields up! and zap! you plug them in, load their app, and its pretty straightforward from there. You hold the button down for 5 or 7 seconds to reset until it blinks then turn on your phone blue tooth for the app to detect and configure for your wifi network. Then link to Alexa and setup your routines. Note Amazon sent me a pack of used ones but since I could reset them and they seem to be working fine these past weeks that I did not knock any stars off as its Amazon and not the manufacturers fault, plus I hate wasting working products just because they are used but still look new (though it wouldnt hurt for amazon to knock a few dollars off). I do recommend this product if you are looking to control power for outlet devices that remain on.

This is my second Aoycocr WiFi plug. The first one gave me zero issues and I needed a second one so I choose to buy it again. I used one for my Christmas tree and the other for the outside Christmas lights. I choose evening and morning schedules plus names for them using the Smart Life app. I even installed the Smart Life app on the wifes phone so she could turn on the lights whenever she wanted. Everything worked flawlessly. I used this plug outside tucked under an eve for my Christmas lights. I worried moisture would be an issue but it was fine. Im already using the Smart Life app for WiFi lights throughout my house and the plugs fit right in with the line up. If you unplug it from the wall it goes offline until you plug it back in. Reconnect time is just a few seconds. I do have access to Alexa using my Fire Stick so I set that up as well. The grandkids had fun turning lights on/off with the remote. Great plug and simple to use.

The first time I set this up it worked fine. Then I changed some settings and it wouldnt turn on. By the way there is no product support for this item. What I did to fix it (so far) is I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it on my phone. Then unplugged the device for 30 seconds, this resets it. Next i reinstalled the device on the App MANUALLY. Like I said before this fixed the issue. Hope this helps!
