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）

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.

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

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 was ripped off. This package says it works with Amazon Alexa and Smartthings. We have both in our home and nothing recognizes the plug. There is no brand on the box. When I contacted support Cia the email on a 1 inch slip of paper in the box, what do you know? It is an invalid email. Made in China garbage. Infuriates me that amazon allows these types of businesses to market through them.

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.

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.

These work with hubitat automatically no special requirements, these are only rated for 10 amps so dont connect them to any high current devices and youll be good, will update if these fail prematurely or give me connection issues going forward, also going to be hacking one to make a pc control switch.

For smart home I am not usually a fan of Zigbee products as 2.4 Ghz interferes with them, but if you have these near your hub they work fine. They are also quite small which makes them even better, and compared to Z-wave they are quite inexpensive.

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.

A simple well-built plug that does what it meant it. Set up was very easy and I was able to use this with my hue hub and my hue wall switch to control my hue lights and the plug altogether. Recommend this plug for anyone that uses Hue lights and wants to integrate non hue products into your smart home system.
