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

Slight difficulty with syncing, but otherwise works well.

This item is great , easy to install and easy to setup , the only thing I noticed is the schedule options , I learn that you need to setup the on and off twice meaning , One for the smart plug to coming on and another schedule time for when to turn off . I just think most peoples dont know this . Thank You

Great value for the money. It works 100% of the time, no issues whatsoever. It was very easy to set up, too. Now I can turn my big fan on (that is a regular fan with no remote, just has a little dial for high/medium/low) with my voice, using Alexa! Its great when I wake up and Im feeling hot or cold. I dont have to go over and manually turn the fan on/off. I just say, Alexa, turn the big fan on when Im hot or Alexa, turn the big fan off when Im cold, and roll back over and go back to sleep. Its also nice like when I get a phone call or something, I can turn the fan off so the person on the phone can hear me better, etc. But this plug will work with literally anything that can be left on and already be on when you plug it in. It wont work for something like a microwave where you have to manually turn it on, obviously. But yeah, works great and Ive literally never had a problem with it. Highly recommended!

After many try’s to hook up to WiFi, I finally have hooked them up as smart socket and smart socket 2. It’s nice to control lights or whatever you want by using IPhone.

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.

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.

This Ayococr Smart Socket is one of a small army of essentially similar products coming from overseas, all built on the Tuya Smart IoT (Internet of Things) platform. Setup is essentially identical to any of the other similar, no-name products sold on Amazon. A download link is provided for the Smart Life app, in the form of a QR code on the product box, and in the included instructions. I cant speak to the Android version of the app, but the iOS version works well, and is highly rated. The Smart Life app performs the initial setup of the Smart Plug, to get it on your 2.4 GHz WiFi, and provides remote turn on/off. In the case of this device, the Quick Mode setup did not work, but the fallback AP Mode configuration was completely effective. Once this one-time setup is complete, Smart Life provides on/off status, and provides myriad timer on/off functions. Alexa integration requires additional steps, to install the Smart Life skill, and configure Alexa to control the Smart Plug. Instructions for this are also included. Once the initial setup is completed, the unit functions as expected with the greater Alexa ecosystem. Altogether, being a two-app process, setup is disjointed, compared to the Amazon Smart Plug, but unlike the Amazon product, provides multi-platform support (Google and IFTTT). I have lamps plugged into mine, and setup to respond to Alexa, turn on/off the bedroom/family room/living room lights which works flawlessly. Interestingly, the product itself does not have the ETL certification mark called out in the product description, but does have legitimate FCC and RoHS marks. The product itself is attractively packaged, and has good fit and finish, particularly for the price point. It is also more compact than many competitors; this plug can be used in a standard duplex outlet without blocking the other socket. Given I can buy a four-pack of these for about the same price as a single Amazon plug, and get the same final result, its a great buy. Update: Based on my previous experience with this product, purchased in August 2019, I ordered another one of these in February, 2020. In contrast to my earlier experience, this time, I was able to successfully configure the new unit via the Quick Mode setup. Also, unlike the units I received last summer, the new one has an ETL regulatory mark on it. Quick web searches confirm the ETL and FCC marks are genuine. Given how many low cost electronics of Chinese origin are lacking such regulatory approval markings entirely, or have obviously falsified markings, this inspires a much greater degree of confidence that this product is well made and safe.

I set this wifi outlet up with a lamp in my living room. It worked great for a few weeks, then one day it started rapidly turning on and off and making a clicking sound. Tried unplugging it and resetting it, but that didn’t fix it. Also tried clearing it from the app and setting up again.

I bought the pack of four and have only set up one, but it was pretty quick and easy... once I looked at the instructions. My habit with these sorts of things is to just try to figure it out as I go along, and that didnt work here. This brand doesnt automatically show up in the Alexa app to connect, you have to set up the plug with their app and then connect it to Alexa. Its an extra step, but then its done, and it all works nicely. I have two complaints. First, the size of the round housing for these things is so large that you cant use two of them in a single wall outlet. Maybe I should have realized that from the photos, but I missed it... and its just poor design. Second, it only supports 2.4GHz wi-fi connections, and the 2.4GHz band is horribly noisy in my apartment building, so I use 5 when I can. Again, it probably said something to that affect in the listing, but I missed it... any device sold these days really should support both.

I own about fifteen or so of these and they work fine but for one item. I have my stereo in the garage with wired speakers throughout the house. When I want the music on, the plug will turn on the stereo. Later, when the garage is locked and I want the music OFF, the plug will not respond. I have tried three different plugs, they all work well on other lights, etc., but they will NOT turn the music OFF. I have written to various sites, but have not received a single response, even a beats me.
