> 24 hourOur homes bedrooms have no overhead lighting, just switch controlled outlets for lamps. I use this module in a bedroom that I use for an office. It controls a side-table lamp, a floor lamp, and a pedestal fan. With Alexa compatibility, I can control each individually, as Adams Floor Lamp, Adams Fan, or Adams Lamp, or I can shut off everything, as a group called Adams Room. Its very handy to have that all on one outlet.

> 24 hourAt first it appears to be a great buy as you get 3 switched plugs and energy monitoring. However once you have them for awhile you quickly realize they were a waste of money. I bought the 2 pack and both will randomly switch all plugs off for no reason. I had them hooked up to some important IT gear for energy monitoring and would frequently be alerted by the alarms of our battery backups and lo and behold the plugs turned them selves off.

> 24 hourBought this when it was almost 50% off. Received just one instead of 2. Called Amazon and they sent out a replacement and asked me to return the 1 that I received. Next time received a 2 pack as advertised. Wifi set up was extremely easy. Plastic does not feel very high end but I am happy with the purchase.

> 24 hourI used to use a mechanical timer, but recently swapped to this. This product allows me to set timers with their smartphone app and monitor monthly energy usage. Great product

> 24 hourif you have linux around and want to flash this with better firmware, search on tasmota and tuya-convert. worst case, you open this unit and connect an ftdi serial cable and flash tasmota yourself, but doing the OTA trick sure is cool and almost fun ;) once you get open firmware on it, its WAY better. I have many of these at home and they all run the same firmware and can be remotely controlled with simple curl commands, fully scriptable, no need for gui or phone-home-china stuff. dump the factory firmware and never look back. these have the extra feature of power-mgmt (you can read voltage and current and power, for the whole unit, not on a per-port basis, sadly). see the config screen image for what the pin mapping is, for this module. each tuya module by each vendor is wired differently; so you have to search the model to know what each pin on the ESP chip does. I did that work for you, so just use this and be happy ;) again, its going to be a bit of effort to learn and read all you need to, to flash tasmota. to get this unit into program mode, you power it up then quickly hit the single power button and hold it for a long time until it flashes differently. I think it took over 10 or 20 seconds. keep pressing until it starts to blink. THEN run the tuya convert util on your linux laptop or rasp pi, DO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS and DO use your phone to connect to the ssid that the linux util says to. just connect to it like its a wifi portal and keep your phone on that. THEN proceed to flash tasmota from linux to the kmc4 unit. its complicated but worth it and once you do one, youll do the next one a lot faster and easier.

> 24 hourThere was some confusion with which app to use. We finally connected with one that worked with Alexa. I would have given up trying to figure it out, but luckily it was my husband setting everything up. Product works as advertised. I just wish that there was an easier process for setting it up. It became the most time intensive setup for a smart device either of us have had. I had to read through the reviews to figure out what we were doing wrong...
