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 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.

I 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!

My home is less than 2K sq ft, and most of my devices are Z-Wave. I know some people claim that these can be unstable on a Zigbee network, but they work great for me. I probably only have a dozen or two Zigbee devices though.

These smart plugs paired easily. So I was initially happy. But one plug died in less than a month. Won’t switch on even manually.

Ok for the money

These things have never failed so far and purchased 2 more a year later!

Very good price for set of 2. Z-wave so they work perfectly with Samsung SmartThings. Easy to connect.

They work really well with Alexa

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)

I 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.
