iHome Flow Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring and Timer Function, Wireless Wi-Fi Outlet Socket with On/Off Button, No Hub Required, Compatible with Alexa, Echo, and Google Home, 2-Pack

Pro:- 1. Simple to configure and connect. Cons:- 1. Item disconnects randomly from Wifi. 2. Monitoring is a joke, as it just quotes same bandwidth for a PC or TV or hair dryer. 3. Cloud is horrible. Mostly Google cloud cannot detect it and have to use the genie app to control.(Plugging it off and on fixes the issue for a day or 2) 4. Went googling to fix the above issues and noted iHome is notorious for discarding the cloud making this socket a paper weight. You cannot control it with app or google if iHome cloud is shutdown. They had did this for pervious gen. They might do this for this gen so people can buy more of their stuff instead of using the working one. Item returned as it was not working properly

good amperage, energy monitoring, solid quality!

I have an older iHome switch. I thought that this would be the same brand. It is not. Dont buy if you have apple homekit. WeMo is the better smartplug.

Just what I needed to cut on my Christmas tree and lamp while out of town.

If you need HomeKit from Apple, go elsewhere

I recommend this item !!!

We ordered these because they were a good value but definitely had to put some work in to get Alexa to recognize them. Weve had plenty of other power sources that work with Alexa and these were on the more difficult end. In the future I think well order name brand ones that are easier to set up.

Ive got a bunch of different plugs. These were easy to set up. They are a little larger than some of the other brands, but thats usually not an issue. There is an on/off button on the side which is nice. The energy monitoring feature can come in handy when you are wondering how much power a device is actually using. I am going to use this on the A/C unit in my cabin so we can turn it on before we get there! Same with a little heater in the fall.

They work great and very easy to set up with alexa.

Not sure why this product pops up for HomeKit searches on Amazon. Run, dont walk to a better product.
