Govee Smart Plug 15A, WiFi Bluetooth Outlets 4 Pack Work with Alexa and Google Assistant, WiFi Plugs with Multiple Timers, Govee Home APP Group Control Remotely, No Hub Required, ETL&FCC Certified

I was a little skeptical when I bought these. The price seemed too good to be true, but these work perfectly. Being in a college dorm I was worried I wouldn’t be able to use these since the WiFi doesn’t work with these types of devices, however they work amazingly over Bluetooth. My favorite feature is the schedule. I have it hooked up to a little heater and I am able to set it to turn on right before I wake up so my room is warm when I get up, and that feature works with Bluetooth!

I bought these initially for Christmas decorations. They were super easy to coonect/install and set up a schedule. I can quickly toggle them on the app on my phone. Now that Ive got them Im thinking of more fun ways Id like to use them!

Ive had several different brands of smart plugs and they usually have some issues setting up and connecting to Alexa. But not these plugs. I already had the Govee app because I have two of their lights, so it was also easy to set up. The Govee smart plugs are the ones Ill be using in the future.

I purchased several Govee Bluetooth lightbulbs, and use them around my house. They are fantastic, offer many options, and best of all, I dont need to worry about wasting my limited bandwidth on yet another smart device, since many devices are currently connected to my router. I have older appliances that I would love to also control via the Govee App, so I purchased a 2 pack of these, hoping to consolidate multiple devices onto one app. The ad description says that these smart plugs work via WiFi and Bluetooth. I purchased them believing that I had an option of one or the other. Not the case. These ONLY work with WiFi. Bluetooth is only used ONCE, to connect them in the pairing process. There were a myriad of problems, resulting in me throwing away 3 in the trash, and keeping only 1, so brace yourself. Firstly, it needs a 2.4 ghz connection, which was a nuisance to activate on my router, since everything I have connected to it uses 5 ghz. Once I did that, I followed the instructions, and the red light on the Govee device NEVER turned blue. I restarted my router, made sure the settings were correct, and still nothing. I used a friends WiFi hotspot, set to 2.4, to see if that would work, and nothing. I decided to contact Govees Help Center, via the app. The rep was courteous, and did what he could to help, but he troubleshooted with me the exact same steps I had already performed, and still nothing. I was shocked, and thankful when he offered to send me two more, free of charge. When the two new ones arrived, the first one I took out of the box worked! The light turned blue, and I am still currently using it. I took the second one out the box, and it too decided to fail me, like the original ones I purchased. Thats 3 out of 4 that do not function. A 75% failure rate, is enough to tell me that these things are not worth buying. The one that I use, does function, but it doesnt use bluetooth to do it. Ive tested turning a device on and off, with bluetooth on my phone switched off, and it functions, proving that the process is entirely done through WiFi. For the record, WiFi is faster than Bluetooth. The Govee Lightbulb takes 3-5 seconds to connect on my phone, that has Bluetooth 5.0. The WiFi plug takes barely 1 second, which is amazing. The difference? When I recently moved, I was using my Govee Bluetooth bulbs BEFORE I even had my ISP connect Internet to my new address. I also took one of my Govee Bluetooth bulbs to my brothers house, for a party he had, and it worked, without having to pair it to his network. Too many smart devices rely solely on WiFi, and dont utilize Bluetooth enough. Not to mention how unreliable pairing these devices can be. I was willing to deal with the plugs being WiFi, despite being misled in the description. With 75% of the ones I tried, failing, and 100% of the Govee Bulbs that Ive purchased working, I can only wonder if my concerns are just.

Was easy to setup and works o

Easy to pair and link to Alexa

I have a few items from govee and I dont have any issues

Sorting out how to set up the timer on it was challenging but finally figured it out and now it works beautifully

Bought another brand and we couldn’t hook it up but this one at the same time in the ease of hook up was perfect

I absolutely love these. There were no glitches in the set up and they are so easy to use. Like them so much, bought another set without hesitation.
