FRANKEVER Mini Smart Plug,WiFi Outlet Works with Alexa Google Assistant, No Hub Required, ETL and FCC Listed Only 2.4GHz WiFi Enabled Remote Control WiFi Smart Socket

Never worked

Did not work with google home as amazon stated

This works fine as a generic smart plug with the associated app. However, the process that you are guided through to link it with Alexa DOES NOT WORK. When I hit the link button it opens a page that says the app is out of date and I have to update before linking. There is no update to the Gosund app nor the Alexa app. I bought this explicitly to work with Alexa. So, its kinda worthless. I guess it was only $10. Unfortunately, I feel like I now have to use that overused phrase that I hate reading in reviews and makes me think it was written by someone much older than myself. You get what you pay for.

Bought this so we can turn a space heater on from bed when it’s cold without having to turn on the house furnace so we can just warm up the bathroom when we shower we love it it’s so convenient

Works like a champ. No complaints at all. The app is simple to connect and if the power goes out or its unplugged it still remembers everything just fine

Setting these up with Smart Life took about a minute each. One of the four plugs I tested needed to be updated and had a strange name so it might have been old stock. All function very well and can be controlled from the smart life main page. Initial setup on these was super easy as they all came up in programming mode. I didnt have to use AP or other modes. I have a dedicated 2.4 Ghz ceiling mounted TP link AP that I use for home automation. I already had some Tuya devices linked to Alexa so asking her to discover new devices was a simple thing. I find its easier to create a name for the plug in the smart life app that Alexa will adopt rather than edit it in alexa. The cases on these plugs appear to be sonic welded. While theres an FCC mark I couldnt find an FCC certification to readily identify the TUYA wifi module.

Updated 2021-7-21: (1 star) This smart plug failed in about 9 months light use. This is poor quality. Reached out to seller regarding warranty and I was told There will inevitably be some small regrets. Thus, Im revising my review to 1 star. Original review: Some inconsistent behavior (4 stars) These are my first smart outlet plug with energy monitoring. Overall I like them. Here is the review. The good: - Good software compatibility. It is compatible with Smart Life app and thus integrated with Google assistant and Alexa. - Easy to install. The installation is straight forward and easy to follow within the app. - Energy monitoring. Its great to have an idea how much energy the appliance is using. Other thoughts: I got a pair of the plug and they behave differently. One immediately upgraded its firmware to 1.0.3 upon installed and the other stayed on 1.0.0. As a result, the color of on/off are reversed for the pair, which is awkward. For this reason, Im taking 1 star off.

I love this I want to get a few mores!

I use this on a house hot water circulator. Its fairly expensive to run 24/7, do this handy device allows me to turn it on and set a timer.

Buyer beware this does not come with the remote shown, so if you dont have a smartphone this is worthless.
