GHome Smart in-Wall Outlet, Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa Google Assistant, Energy Monitor, APP Control, FCC Certified, Surge Protection Tamper-Resistant Wall Receptacle, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only, 15A

My husband installed the outlet and said the physical install was just like any other outlet install. It went smoothly with no problems whatsoever. Then he tried managing the Wifi part - Im usually the one to integrate our Smart Home devices, so I eagerly watched him from the other side of the living room. He managed to connect the outlet to our wifi system but failed on integrating it with Alexa. He tagged me in. I downloaded the companys proprietary app (GoSund), made sure I could log in, then opened the Alexa app. I clicked the + button to add a new device, followed the Alexa directions, and was in business. I set up a schedule through Alexa and the switch has worked perfectly. I love that the two outlets can operate independently - I have no other smart switches that work like that. Final note - the instructions that come with the outlet arent very good. Follow the instructions on the product page instead, and dont forget its the + button on Alexa to add the device.

I have a lot of smart home devices and just about everything in my house that can be automated is. I needed an extra outlet to control a new lamp I have and stumbled upon this device to try and I am in love. All of my other home outlets are 50/50 in terms of being smart. Typically the top outlet is “standard” and not controlled and then the bottom outlet is “smart” and can be voice controlled or a button on the outlet can control the on/off of it. With this device BOTH the top and the bottom are smart, allowing you to control two different devices from the one outlet. On the device there are two buttons, one to control each outlet. This is great as I remember being very disappointed with my first outlet that it didn’t control both. I got used to it over time but now I don’t have to. I’ll likely be looking to replace some of my other GE outlets with these for areas I want two devices to be controlled in the same area.

Ive been using these for almost a year. So far, 2 of them had died/fried on me and Ive had to replace it. I dont see any other products that do exactly the same thing (monitor consumption) or I would try another product if it seemed like it was higher quality. The app works well. The energy consumption records a line graph, but doesnt really break down the actual time of the day the energy is being used so now that the utility company is implementing a variable rate based on different times of the day, this isnt enough to figure out how much $ of electricity is being used. It is reasonably priced for what it can do, I just wish they wouldnt die so often. Install rating is 3* because its very finicky to get connected to the WiFi. If it would connect to the WiFi on first attempt, it could be 5* installation.

Awesome product. Needed to DL the Gosund app to link it to my Alexa which was easy. After that I’ve never used the Gosund app. Each outlet can have its own command. Also located on the outlet has a manual power on and off for each plug. Product is good to go. Havent had any issues with connectivity so far.

I Love this outlet. It is my first smart outlet and now I want more after getting this one. It was easy to install and worked great after installing the app. It also works with Alexa which is great. I am super pleased with this product and will be ordering more!

It works anywhere and replaces traditional outlets seamlessly

My boyfriend installed these and he said it wasn’t hard (though he does have experience doing so). It was easy to get set up with Alexa. I’m excited to use them!

New review: Here’a an update on this. After writing this review, I found out that my daughter-in-law had tried to use a power washer to clean her car while the receptacle was also charging my car. The receptacle is rated for 15A, but I can’t imagine how much current was going through it while the power washer motor tried starting up. It’s no surprise that it was damaged. I also have to say that the company’s customer support was very quick after I posted my 1-star review. They contacted me right away and tried to resolve my problem,. Since this wasn’t a regular purchase, they could t refund or replace it, but it it was a regular Amazon purchase, it would have been resolved almost immediately. Frankly, I’d rather replace a $25 receptacle than have my home wiring overheat and become a fire hazard inside of my walls. I’ve since replaced it with the exact same model, and it’s been working perfectly. I’ve disabled the second outlet so that it can’t be overloaded again. I really love this receptacle, and the app control and energy monitoring are great. I have no problems recommending this gadget, but I would suggest that you don’t use it where multiple heavy-load devices can ce used simultaneously, like in a kitchen with an air fryer and a microwave plugged into it and they might get used at the same time. Keep your total usage under 15A, or 1,i00W. Old review: This receptacle worked well for a little under a month before it died. I installed it in my garage to power a Level 1 evse (12A) so I could track the energy usage. The receptacle is rated for 15A, so a 12A constant load should have been ok to use with it. This doesn’t seem to be the case. A couple of days ago, it simply stopped working. It wouldn’t power up, illuminate any of the LEDs, or connect to WiFi. I removed it from the wall and opened it up to see if I could identify the problem. The internal fuse had blown, so I replaced it and reinstalled it. It powered up and connected to WiFi, but when I plugged in my receptacle tester, it showed a ground fault. I decided that it wasn’t worth opening up again. This might be a good outlet for light duty, but I don’t think that it’s good enough for long-term heavy use. That was disappointing, since it was really great while it worked.

App is simple and install was easy. Works as it should and looks nice. Quality is decent as well. Works easily with alexa devices. Sleek look when installed. Good product

I ordered this as I wanted to replace one of my outlets so I could use it as a smart outlet. While the outlet works, as a smart outlet, it is definitely generic. You have to download a 3rd party app that is definitely used for multiple generic brands, however once its setup, it connects with Google Home and I can use Google to control my outlet. I would recommend this outlet, with the exception that it may not last as long as a brand name device.
