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）

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

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 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.

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)

It does not integrate with Samsung or GE hubs

I have two of these to turn on and off some non-dimmable light fixtures. One in the bedroom for some colored Christmas lights, the other runs a led sign for my game room. Like others have said, there is an audible click when it turns things on and off. Other have complained about the device coming apart when unplugging it, but I have not had that issue.

Ok for the money

Switch 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.

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!

Ive so far set up 4 of these smart outlets and it took a total of about 4 minutes. Im using these with the Hubitat C7 hub and they instantly pair as a Generic Zigbee Outlet and work perfectly. They are controllable through the Google Assistant via Hubitat (remember you must add new devices in the Hubitat Google Home app). I must say that Im using these pretty close to my hub so I couldnt tell you anything about their ability to work at a far distance, but for the price, these outlets are great.
