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）

This is the easiest outlet I have ever integrated into either a Alexa or SmartThings. Literally plug it in and the rest is just a couple of app taps. It’s just great..takes two minutes or less.

They work like I expected, compatible with smart things.

They work wonderfully, paired effortlessly, and even show up as on-off lights in the hue app, so you can control them with the various automation features.

Im using these with Home Assistant with the ZHA integration using a flashed Sonoff zigbee bridge and also tested them with the Conbee II/Deconz integration. The deconz recognized them automatically and added them. They work as routers/repeaters and so far Ive had no problems controlling them.

My 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.

Best price on a smart plug that works with Philips Hue. It was also easy to set up

The two CMARS Smart Plugs were exactly what was needed. I was pleasantly surprised how easily they paired with the Echo Studio I was using. I had expected a little more troubleshooting than I experienced. I use one to power my home entertainment system power strip so I do not need to turn off the light, TV, and system separately. I just use a voice command on my Echo Studio. Edit: One has since broken after owning them for about two months. When it works, its great. But having such a short lifespan is concerning. The one thing still outstanding is longevity. I plan to use one for more active use of on and off than another. In theory they should be last the same amount of time but I will update if the more used one faces issues sooner than later. Edit v2: Both are now non-functioning and useless. I admit that using them in conjunction with an extension cable may have been the issue but there were no warning that I noticed that spoke against it. Be warned they may die early.

I purchased for use in my home assistant automation. This unit works as expected, not issues at all. Will purchase a couple more for a few other devices I wanted to control. It would be nice if it reported voltage consumption, but for the price I cant complain.

Great buy. They are easy to integrate with Home Assistant (ZHA - ConBee II) and they act as Zigbee repeaters. I am using them to replace the TPLink Kasa ones that require Wifi to work! Zigbee is so much better! They pair instantly, they switch on and off instantly (no internet lag) and they still work when internet is down. Plastic quality seems good but I still do not know about the life of this product. I will update the review after about a year. Also the do not report consumption, like the TPLink ones.

Se integran bien con SmartThings y Alexa y efectivamente aumenta la cobertura para otros dispositivos Zigbee.
