CMARS Smart Plug, ZigBee Switch Mini Smart Outlet Works with ST, Alexa, Echo (4th gen) Echo Plus (2nd) Google Home, Works as a Range Extender, Hub Required （2 Pack）

I have about 50 devices connected to ST hub, so I am not new to pairing devices. The instruction is app tells you to hold button until you see red flashing light. Well in my case this didnt happen for both plugs. It would reset /purple/blue and it goes to solid blue. Somehow i was able to pair it after several tries. Now it is working fine , but I wont order similar type of plugs again ( there are several of them here on Amazon under different brands)

I got these to uses as repeaters on my ZigBee network. I am using home assistant (ZHA). The system found them quickly and joined the network. but it is not stable will only stay on the network 3-4 seconds before it drops, then it will come back and drop again. Completely unusable.

I’m got these for use with a SmartThings hub and found that they were so easy to pair. Plug them into the outlet and they will immediately be discoverable in the SmartThjngs app where they can be setup with one click and you’re done. They work exactly as advertised and are much cheaper than competitors (often half the price). I’ve used several other brands and these paired easier than any including SmartThings own outlets and they are just as responsive when manually controlled from the app or as part of an automation. The only downside I see is the indicator light is fairly bright. I use one in a bedroom and it throws a bright glow in a darkened room. I used a bit of electrical tape to cover the light and problem solved. I highly recommend these and I’m looking for something else to automate so I have an excuse to buy more!

My home is less than 2K sq ft, and most of my devices are Z-Wave. I know some people claim that these can be unstable on a Zigbee network, but they work great for me. I probably only have a dozen or two Zigbee devices though.

Very good price for set of 2. Z-wave so they work perfectly with Samsung SmartThings. Easy to connect.

I tried multiple times to get the plugs to connect to Smartthings with no luck. Multiple power cycles and resets and different suggestions online. Just wouldnt work. When I tried it with my Hue bridge they finally worked. But Id much rather have them connected directly through Smartthings.

The plugs all worked out of the box as described and were easily discovered by Alexa. Everything works perfectly!

I have over 50 of these controlling my house, shop, greenhouse, high tunnel and garage. But why did they make the so big that they take up over half of the outlet.

The smart plugs are being used for old Lamps. With the amazon ones I am not able to fit 2 in a socket but these are great. Wonderful product, easy to use and easy to set up

I wouldnt purchase these, as I had several of them fail in the last few weeks that I was using to control mesh nodes in my home network. They either completely failed in the off position, or randomly rebooted my equipment, with nothing in the logs. Hardware issues. Avoid these if you want any semblance of reliability. These were manually triggered only a few times in 12 months.
