Love there easy install app. This will be my choice for all my switches

It took me a good bit of reading to figure this out... there are TWO DIFFERENT MODELS being reviewed by Amazon Customers and apparently they offer very different features and end up with very different results. There is one particularly bad review here, it is for a DIFFERENT model than the one that I ordered. The bad review is for the model that is 10Amps and has a USB Port on the side. I ordered the model that DOES NOT have the extra USB port on the side, but has a 15Amp power delivery. I believe this is the reason for the very different results. I suspect something about the USB port causes the mosquito noise that the other reviewer is getting, and I suspect that most of the negative points in that review are about things that are not present in the single outlet, no USB model that I ordered. With that in mind, here is the review of the product I received: The Frankever Power Monitoring Voice Control Mini Timer Smart WiFi Outlet Plug 2.4G Hz Network High Load 15A Phone App Remote Control Smart Plug Compatible with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT, No Hub (2 Pack) has exceeded my expectations in every way. It is a no-brainer!!! My wife wanted these to take control of some always-on products for our sunroom. By using these outlets, she could turn them on and off and also monitor power usage and integrate them with Amazon Alexa. It is very convenient using Alexa voice controls to power up these products that are on the Frankever power strip. The design has some positive points as well. By stretching the plug to each side, you are able to (on some power strips and on standard outlets) plug it in without obscuring the other outlet. As I mentioned above, I did not experience the mosquito noise that another reviewer talked about, and this may be because the 15 Amp model that I have doesnt have the USB port on the side. The Smart Life App is both fun to play with and very useful. Im not sure what the other app does, but definitely try the Smart Life App and see how you like it. The price is great. Thats another thing that is an excellent feature of this outlet, you get TWO for this price and that makes them VERY, VERY economical. I would absolutely recommend this outlet to anyone looking to add an app controlled outlet to their home. It is a great starter package that is easy to use and useful at the same time - and a great price as well!!! Thank you for reading my review. I take my reviews very seriously and I think it is super important for us to share our experiences on Amazon so that we can help each other out to spot products that dont live up to their claims, and ALSO to share great products with one another so we can find the right products to make our lives easier. I feel like the Amazon review process is a great way to share this information and I try to do the best job I can when I write a review. I am not perfect though, so if there is anything I have left out, or that you have a question for me about the product or my review, PLEASE feel free to visit my Amazon Profile and e-mail me at the address there and I will try to get back to you as quickly as possible! Thank you for reading my review and I hope it has been helpful.

These work great with Alexa! I have two plugs so far. It is a bit tricky to set up using Smartlife but once you get the hang of it it is solid. A great feature is that the device also has time-clock capability. You can schedule on and off times (or just one) so if you forget to turn something on or off, you are covered. The instructions are typically poor and need to be translated into workable English; but if you download SmartLife on your wifi phone it will automatically discover the plug and then you can name it anything you want for Alexa.

This plug does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I bought 2 and will likely buy more.

I have had a couple that were just junk - could NOT get them to sync and I tried everything to the point of standing on my head and holding my breath...they simply wouldnt sync no matter what I did. These are not like the junk ones - they easily synced up to Smart Life and Alexa found them so that I could control them. I have living room and bedroom lights attached to these. If I was a coffee drinker I might attach one to my coffeemaker so that I could have fresh brewed coffee waiting for me when I came out of my bedroom bleary eyes and brain dead. I do have one for my yogurt maker as every 5 or so days I make a fresh batch of yogurt - it is easy to say Alexa, turn on kitchen outlet and the yogurt maker comes on. These outlets work well and are a welcome addition to my smart home!

Excellent plugs for the money that do monitoring and have 15amp capabilities. Easy to setup as a group or individually Alexa. My recommendation for setup is to set them up close to you router and then move them to where you want to.use them. Please down load the manual and read some of the comments to lower gotcha factor before you start.

Easy to set up, works great

I have about 70 smart devices now in my house, all alexa integrated. Most of them are wifi LED lights but right after that, the next largest group is smart wireless plugs like this. And I have to say these are my new favorites. First of all, they PERSIST the setting in case of a power outage. So many others always default to OFF if power is interrupted, even for a split second, during a storm. These are on again if they were on when power was removed, and off again if they were off when power was lost. Second - a full 15 amps. Many of the ones I have only support lower amp totals. Some 10, others I had were as low as 8. This is a 15 amp plug, 1800w. Third - monitoring and history. Want to know how much electricity something is using? This is the plug to get. I had a similar one for my fridge and other spots around the house, so I can see where my energy goes. Fourth - Smart Life app. When I first started getting my house set up for voice control, I ended up with far too many other apps and it was annoying trying to remember which app had what devices on it. Yes, all were Alexa integrated, but if I needed to do something via the app, I really didnt like having to swipe around to find which app the device was in. So I decided at that point, never again anything that doesnt support Smart Life. So these work. Period. Setup was as simple as anything ever is with the Smart Life app, seen instantly by the app, on the wireless quickly. No issues. A bit more expensive than the other ones I have were, but again, these are full 15 amp, and can monitor usage. You get what you pay for.
