These smart plugs are AMAZING for Christmas light decorations. They plug into a standard plug, connect via an app to your phone then you can control the on & off with your phone. You can set a timer also for the outlet to be turn on/off at specific times. These worked great for our Christmas lights this year. I set one up outside and one inside both attached to power strips and was able to set my lights to go on/off automatically instead of having to go around plugging/unplugging them all. They are not rated for outdoor use and I do not suggest them for that. I had it plugged into a well covered outlet and ran an extension cord/power strip from it out side so no weather got to the plug itself. They work great - no discernible loss of power or wavering or heating up. Super easy way to get a smart home set up going.

Yes their app sees the devices but nothing else does even Alexa... Took almost 3 hours to even get their app connected then seemed pointless since nothing else will see the device even 3rd party apps I use to connect my 6 year old wifi bulbs to my echo...

These are easy to use and I didnt have a problem setting them up. Its nice to have remote/scheduled control over certain outlets. Note: this is for older wireless technology, but I find a lot of smart devices are for older wireless standards.

These were immediately recognized by the Gosund app when I selected to add a device, and they were automatically connected to Alexa. I already had the app installed, so the experience may be different for a new install. I can control via the Gosund app or Alexa. These plugs are small, so they don’t obstruct a second regular plug from being plugged into a duplex, but two of these smart plugs cannot be plugged into the same duplex. I am able to use two side-by-side on a surge protector. I have been using these for a few weeks with no issues. I have them scheduled to automatically turn on grow lights for my indoor plants and I can easily turn them on/off via voice commands whenever I want.

these work pretty well. they connected easy as they seem to stay connected wel

Had some difficulty with the Gosund app to recognize the plugs. Works great once setup is complete.

So these are too big to use two in an outlet. It wont completely block the second outlet in a wall plate, but it may hinder some plugs from being used. Setup was super simple. Download their app, hook up to your Wi-Fi, pair the outlet, and done. And the outlets can be named. So I plugged a lamp into the outlet to see how it works. When I turn the lamp off through the app, it does not keep my lamp settings when I turn it back on. The lamp has a reading light that is controlled separately from the main lamp and even if I have the reading light off when I use the app to turn off the lamp, both lights turn on when I use the app for power. Im not sure if this is due to the lamp or the smart plug and how it works. I also have a remote for the lamp BUT if I turn the lamp off through the app I cannot use the remote to turn the lamp on because it inactivates the outlet. It makes sense but isnt something I properly considered before using it for this particular lamp. I also plugged my fan into one and since its the type of fan that turns off when unplugged and wont turn on when plugged back in, it has to be manually turned on after activating the outlet. This will only be useful for turning off the fan if I forget to do so when I leave the room. I need to consider more places that these can be used in a more practical way. I suppose if you have an appliance that you want to keep plugged in but not have a phantom power draw when the appliance is off, these would likely work. Or if you have things with proper on/off switches these would likely work for that as well. My kid has a tendency to leave his bedroom light on whenever he leaves the house so this should work for him to turn it off remotely. All in all this is a good price for the amount of plugs. It would be better if they could have made them to fit two to an outlet, though.

Need a special app to use, havent been able to figure out Alexa integration. It works as expected if you were just wanting to use their specific app, but I was hoping it would be an automatic or default setup with Alexa since it is advertised to work with Alexa.
