The instructions that come with it guide you through setting this up with the Gosund app, but the device can be added using the Smart Life and possibly Tuya apps instead, which are less buggy and easier to connect to Alexa. Discovered this by accident but it would have saved me a few minutes of headaches. The Gosund app will stay resident on your phone (i.e., will show an icon telling you its running all the time which you cant hide), is difficult to link with wi-fi, and Alexa. The switch itself is nice and gives a satisfying click when you turn it on and off manually. It is probably just a little too big, though, and will block your unused outlet. A rectangular design might avoid that problem.

Bigger than I expected but they work fine.

So I have to say these things are super easy to set up and do exactly what they are meant to do. Im recently divorced and miss coming home to cooked meals and being able to take out my work frustrations on her for the first hour I get home. I have used all four of these and its changed my life so much Im now off anti-depressants (although I feel Im just tricking my sensory memories to be temporarily happy). I have one set up to an old crock pot, before I leave for the steal mill in the morning I throw a bag of frozen chicken, broth and veggies with seasoning. Its set to turn on around 2 so I walk into a house smelling of fresh dinner. The true key is to combined these outlets with Alexa, which Ive named Agatha after my ex wife. So half way through dinner I say, Agatha, vacuum the living room. Which I have a vacuum set up to the second smart plug in there, the sound of the vacuum cleaning running and just thinking about her taking my order without back mouthing me is soothing to me. The last two are set up in the bedroom, one is set to my ex wifes old plug in toy(swear that thing acted like it ran on race fuel) that I have schedule to go off for 20 Mins once my bedroom Alexa hears me snoring. The last one turns on a desk light where she use to do her make up in the morning and it never looked good and would wake me up an hour before I needed to wake up, every week day, for 23 years.... Love this product! Will buy more, need to find out a way to run my credit card up around holidays without me knowing.

I was a little leary about purchasing an inexpensive smart plug its 1/3rd the cost of my others one of which failed thats why I bought this one. From taking out of the box to having it up and running with the Gosund app took me about 3 minutes. I highly recommend this plug.

So, like many on here, I was having the same pairing issue due to my 5 GHz vs the required 2.4GHz for the device. My older devices were all set up prior to the conversion to 5GHz wi-Fi. I found a guy on YouTube with a great work around. Most routers actually broadcast in both. 2.4GHz is the default when you are farther away from your Wi-Fi. It has the ability to broadcast farther. So, take your device, plug it into an extension cord and take it outside for the set up process. Get as far away from your Wi-Fi as possible, while still being connected. Your Wi-Fi and phone should then default to 2.4GHz due to the longer range distance and allow you to set up the device. This is the only time you will have to do this. Only during set up. It worked for all four of my new plugs.

I purchased to plug in a Christmas tree. These were easy to set up and made it convenient to turn on the tree. I gave some to my kids and they liked them also.

Love them!! Easy to install and set up.

I use one of these to control the lamp in my bedroom from my phone and Google Assistant, and it works perfectly. Just connected it to WiFi, set it up in their app, connected my account with my Google account, and was able to use it in routines and give it voice commands.

One of them broke for some reason but the other was great

Conectan tan súper fácil con Alexa y me han funcionado correctamente todo este tiempo.
