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

These are ideal for automating devices or lights that arent set up specifically for use with a home assistant. Unlike some other smart plugs Ive tried to use in the past, like all of their lighting products the Govee plugs are easy to set up and configure and work seamlessly with their app. Definitely recommend these.

These plug work wonderfully. I have a few of a different brand and decided to try the Govee brand. Govee seems to make some really cool stuff and their products are rating highly, and these plugs are no different. Smart plugs are pretty much all the same. Its the app that sets one apart from another and the Govee app is spectacular. It makes the installation and maintenance of the devices so freaking easy. I use the app once a day at least to turn on and off certain things and I love it. Setting up timers is super simple and it seemed to be discovered by my Amazon Echo without me doing anything in the Alexa app. Works great in my Alexa routines.

Works great

Used this for the Christmas lights and it works well with the timer, you can use it connected to the wifi or the Bluetooth. You dont need both for it to work just one. Worked well in the rain.

It was difficult to break open the plastic enclosure. But once that was done, I was able to remove the AC input and output connectors and the part of the circuit that uses AC power to supply 5V to the relay and radio. I now supply 5V from another source and use the relay to switch a DC circuit on and off. I am able to control that circuit from 50 km away, using a different internet service provider. The Govee application installer requires permission to access irrelevant information such as location. Setup requires entering the local WiFi password. With this information, the device is a network security risk. It could contain malicious code itself or be vulnerable to hackers who could insert such code. To reduce this risk, Im considering setting up a separate WiFi router for this and similar devices, isolated from that used by computers in the house.

I first of all really like this plug. I set it up to be on a timer for my koi pond to turn on the large waterfall during the day and off at night since it uses a lot of power pumping 10,000 gallons of water a hour. Great for saving electricity and pretty awesome that I can turn it on and off from anywhere.

1 month in. Works great!

Use these for vivarium set ups. Works great

Use these to control lights and items that arent wifi enabled. Works very well!

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.
