> 3 dayThey work great, take a decent amount of wattage (I run a water distiller off one of them), and pair great with a Zigbee USB radio via Home Assistant. For day to day use on a timer, remote control, or something similar, theyre amazing especially foe the price. I have 4 of them. The only issue Ive noticed are they tend not to have a lot of range and they dont repeat the Zigbee signal very well. Luckily I had some other devices I could add in to maintain the mesh, but just be aware it may have issues if its AR a long distance / through some thick walls / off by itself.

> 3 daySwitch integrated quickly into my deconz / phoscon / HomeSeer setup. Good response times and works as a zigbee repeater. Also using the hue dimmer switch to control them in my setup.

> 3 dayI bought a bunch of different versions that claimed to work with Samsung Smartthings. They either didnt work or required an additional intermediary app. These ones however, worked perfect with Smartthings.

> 3 dayBecause this is a zigbee smart switch, it is very easy to add to a smartthings hub without any additional app beyond the Smartthings app. It is the easiest Ive found. Just plug it in, open up the smartthings app, and scan for new devices. Much better than wifi plugs.

> 3 dayI bought a pair of these. Im using one of them as a Zigbee bridge to reach devices far from hub. The other is being used as an outlet. Im using them on Hubitat, and they were discovered immediately; I didnt even have to press the button. Nice!

> 3 daySurprisingly good, especially for how little they cost. Paired quickly with Phillips Hue hub and integrates perfectly with all the other bulbs in the house. The compact size is great, much smaller than other smart plugs. And the status led, although somewhat bright at least stays steadily lit unlike the sonoff plugs that are constantly flashing. Very happy with these plugs. They allowed me to ditch the wifi plugs I had controlling string lights indoors and out that would regularly lose connection. Now my non-smart light strings are just as reliable as the ridiculously expensive hue stuff.

> 3 dayMy whole house is quickly becoming automated with these smart devices, all centered around the SmartThings hub. I started by outfitting all of my light switches with ZWave specific devices. I have a number of other devices as well such as door sensors, locks, etc. I still had a few lamps around though that werent on switches, so I got these smart plugs to control those. These outlets and nice and small with a flat front. Perfect for hiding behind bookshelves. Its worth noting that these outlets use the Zigbee protocol as opposed to ZWave, but both are fully supported by SmartThings. I had no issue getting these to join my network. Simply plug it into the wall outlet, then in the SmartThings app, let it find any new devices. It came up almost instantly. If you are not a SmartThings user, supposedly you can just plug these in and have Alexa discover and control them. Ive not had a chance to try that. Once you add these to your hub, the possibilities are endless. Currently I have these lamps come on automatically at sunset each day. You could also automate turning these on when someone arrives home at night, etc. Great little devices. Not to mention the 12 months replacement/refund warranty on defective items. Would definitely purchase again when needed.
