> 3 dayThis works reliably and well, but the max current makes it good for lights, no good for appliances and heaters. If you need a heater, get the Sylvania Zigbee smart plug instead (good to up to 15A/1800W)

> 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 have this plug set up to integrate with my hue system for one of my lamps — it turns on every single morning just like the other lights on a timer but does not turn off like the other lights. So it does its job like, 60%.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis plug is abnormally large, and blocks other plugs from being used in some cases. You cant use two in a top/bottom configuration. This is an intentionally bad design.

> 3 dayI bought a slew of these for some home automation tasks about 9 months ago, and they are starting to die off, one by one, a few days in between. They start to reset once every 10 minutes to a few hours, then they just go dead. Bummer.

> 3 dayI am using Home Assistant on my home sever, I used these to automate my reptile tanks. Install was of course easy, linking to Home Assistant was very easy and it picked them right up. I am purchasing 3 more packs of two for other tanks and some other things I want control over.

Greater than one weekI 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.

Greater than one weekThe outlets would pair up but would show up as an unknown device and not able to be used, although it would show up under my smartthings account. This was with the new Smartthings app. The 2 outlets did show up using the old Smartthings app and were fully functional. To fix, I had to use the migration function within the old app, then they showed up on the new app. Apart from that, they seem to be working well controlling my xmas lights.
