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.

This is a great product to use to turn devices/appliances into smart devices without the cost. I added this to a routine to turn off the power to the outlet at a certain time so my son isn’t up all night watching tv and it was so nice to be able to set it and forget it. Install was just as easy as a regular outlet installation and only took me about 5 minutes total.

I wont repeat the same accolades of this wall outlet posted already because I agree with everything said. This outlet is easy to install using basic electrical DIY skills. It has the basic black, white, and green wires that easily connect to your existing outlet being replaced. Once thats done, using the App to connect using WiFi is another no-brainer. I currently use the Gosund App and Alexa to control this outlet. I love the convenience.

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.

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.

The Wi-Fi Smart Wall Outlet has a complete installation kit and clean design. The wiring is easily connected with the included screw on caps. The faceplace snaps on after installation. The barcode for the required app is on the box and instruction manual which can operate alone or connect to your alexa device. Each outlet can be turned off or on manually with the buttons or wirelessly. I would prefer a installation option without the additional app registration requirements. Name your outlets whatever you want and control it with your alexa device. It flashes brightly when it is disconnected from the app.

This is a nice outlet in I have other types of plugs but to have the entire outlet turn on is an added bonus. I dont have to turn things on one at a time. This was very easy to install. It didnt take my husband long to install at all and the instructions to hook up to Alexa were very easy

I love that this works with my Alexa. It’s so convenient to use versus a plug that sticks out of the wall. My husband installed and had no issues. I already had the app so it linked right up and I was ready to go. I definitely recommend.

Perfect! Now I dont have to mind what time of evening the game console is still on, on a weeknight! Set a timer in the app for the electricity to go OFF. He knows what time that is now so he just has to make sure he shuts it down himself first. Alexa reminds him 10 minutes before that happens. No more nagging from me! For my use, this was the best option. I have power strips that are wifi, but he would just unplug them and that would defeat the purpose. I need to get another one for his room in case he decides to plug into another outlet.

Arrives with everything you need to get the outlet installed in the wall. It is an in-wall device that fits in a standard single-gang wall outlet. Nice that it comes with screws and a face-plate that fits. Getting the outlet connected and configured is a bit of a hassle. Phone app is simple, download and install on your phone. Make sure you connect your phone to the same wifi youre connecting your outlet to. I had problems getting it connected to my 2.4GHz WiFi router. Once it did that it seems fairly straight forward and its nice each outlet can be controlled separately. I do wish I could control it with my phone locally without having to go through their server. Some things I dont need outside of the home control and dont want to broadcast usage of everything to whomever may be accessing their server data. Overall its a pretty nice device, easy to physically install, looks nice and works.
