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 bought a bunch of these about a year ago and they worked fine. However, recently theyve started to fail. So far, three have failed. They no longer respond to commands and cant even be operated from the switch on the unit itself. These are not a good deal in the long run.

Its hard to know if these devices were used before I got them, maybe something someone else returned, or if they were just packed poorly. They come in a fairly lightweight glossy-paper-board box, and that box was shipped by Amazon in an unpadded plastic envelope, the consistency of a decent garbage bag. The result is that the retail box was close to destroyed and the 2 devices had been banging around in the envelope. They work fine so far, and since they are plugged into outlets at near ground level, the scratches on them are not that obvious. It is not worth trying to return them, but I find it annoying that I pay for something new, but it looks poor when I get it. They paired almost instantly with my zigbee hub, and the built-in repeater function works well. Adding one between my hub and the front door has helped to make my zigbee lock more reliable.

I set one of these guys up with the christmas tree and put it on a timer through alexa/smartthings. Works awesome. Setup was super easy and its been completely reliable.

I connected these to SmartThings for some easy automation. I know the specs are posted and they are accurate but I was hoping these were a little more low profile than they actually are. So far, no issues with connectivity nor function. I would recommend these as a cheaper alternative to replacing an outlet and definitely for those that can’t wire a switch or outlet themselves.

Integrated with SmartThings. Works fine. Who cares about the audible click? Come on, it’s a switch.

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

Pairs instantly, the best smart things plug i have found,

After receiving the items I found that they didnt connect properly to Smartthings. I contacted the seller and they immediately responded. They apologized and sent me an updated version which works perfectly with Smartthings. I would not hesitate doing business with CMARS again. Great people to deal with.

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.

Picked these up to switch on our indoor holiday lights and they perform as expected. The relay could be quieter but I cant complain for this price.
