> 3 dayAbout a year later, I am updating my review from 3 to 4 stars. I did originally purchase these with the expectation that they would work with my iHome app and they didnt, which disappointed me. However, I did keep these plugs and they have been working great. I even purchased two more recently to have more available smart plugs in the house. I love that I can set schedules for the plug to turn on and off and turn the plug on and off with my phone app. The entire reason I chose these is because I already have an iHome plug & the iHome app and I didnt want to have to download another app. These plugs are not compatible with the iHome app. You will be forced to download another random app to use them. However, separate from the app frustration, the plugs have been working just fine.

> 3 dayI had the older model for years that still work with the app but not with Alexa. These new ones work seamlessly with Alexa and are easy to set up.

> 3 dayIve had a really great experience using these plugs. Really easy to set once you download the app, and they integrate really well with Alexa (which Ive used to turn them on since the integration). I absolutely recommend them!

> 3 dayThese plugs are great. The Geeni app is very simple to setup, and within seconds of plugging the new smart plugs in, the app found them and they connected without issue. BN-Link makes similar Smart Plugs, but they do not have Energy Monitoring, which is ridiculous. Its nice to be able to turn the switches off/on with your phone, but seeing how much power the device plugged into the smart plug is drawing, in real time, and over a period of a year is a crucial feature that many competitors are lacking as of late. The blame is the chip shortage (of course it is, funny how others like this product dont have that issue and include Energy Monitoring, I think its a way to make a cheaper product for the same price). Make sure you allow Bluetooth with the app so it can easily find the new plugs. Also, you can use the Device Widget to turn the switches on/off on iOS, which is awesome. You can also add a picture icon for the plugs. BN-Link also removed this feature. This is nice because you can take a picture of whatever the plug is powering and use it as your icon. Small, but nice feature. There are few reviews because this product was released 4 months ago, so its new. So far, I highly recommend, and the price is very reasonable. The picture I included is the Device Widget showing the icons.
