Mini Smart Plugs and Smart Outlet Extender

Didnt care for being forced to sign up for yet another account to enable the app. Product has been up to expectations though.

Easy to set up, easy to use. Wish the plugs could be a little farther apart because most of time I have to skip every other plug in. Have one in every room for lights and device controls. The only problem is if you get one you will end up getting more and more for yourself and then buying them to give to friends and family.

First off, functionally I had no issues with this smart plug and has performed well in the time Ive had it. Aside from that, getting it to a point of being functional was quite a chore. The minimal documentation included was barely adequate but provided clues to setting up the app. Registration is required to do anything and if I were to rate that alone, it would be one star. Register on my phone? No. Register on my tablet? No. Register on my computer? Not quite. It actually took trial and error and then a combination to create an account. (I would think this would be the easy part so I would consider buying more of your product Gosund.) App installed (finally) and with that came the tedious task of actually connecting the smart plug to it. Again, documentation is quite poor. What it didnt tell me was that I had to be in near darkness in order to see the indicator blinking. Needless to say I wasted a lot of time trying to get the dang thing to blink in normal lighting conditions. Other things that the documentation doesnt tell you... you have more switches in the app than what are available on the device. I had 5 for a three outlet switch. (6 outlets but three are always on.) One of the extra is for all three switchable outlets and the other extra is to turn off the USB charging ports. And since it doesnt tell you which is which, its more trial and error for you to get the name right. The USB ports also have a light to indicate they are getting power but its only slightly more visible in normal lighting so if youre checking them, best do it in a dark room. Once connected, the app seems to work fine for turning the switches on/off. I would like to point out that the app appears to be one big, and quite unnecessary, advertisement. The plug functions are buried. somewhere.... and what appears to likely be a design error or change, the switchable plugs are on the right-hand side of the outlet (looking at it) and not on the left as the documentation and app depicts. Each switchable outlet has its own LED to indicate its on/off status. The LED on the non-switchable side never turns off. The app does have schedule and countdown capabilities like other smart plugs for remedial scheduling. In relative terms, it was fairly easy to add the skill to Alexa. While it was tedious, it was nowhere near as difficult as setting up the app. Be warned there are two places to change the names of the switches but you have to edit the name in the smart plug screen for Alexa to recognize the new name. (The other names are apparently ignored.) I have only done remedial on/off with Alexa at this time but it does function. Overall I will be avoiding Gosund products based simply on the poor app usability and documentation.

Takes both wall outlets when plug in and when unplug out of it you need to hold on to it only held on by wall outlet (pic) usb not fast changing like old usb charging 5 w for iPhone and works with smart life app (pic) works great lets you know when it comes unplugged. The app they want to use never got it to work.

The plug works well and was fairly easy to use, minus the app being a little difficult at first. I love the option to use the outlet for lights and fans when I am away from my home. I didnt realize that only 3 plugs are smart and the USBs work as one single smart outlet. It is also difficult to fit 3 plugs in a vertical row, so expect to only use 4 plugs at one time and the USB ports. Overall, good product, and I will likely be buying more (probably single smart plugs) for my new home.

It works well once you figure out the app that you’re supposed to use with it. I use it with my Echo Dot. And was able to setup my lamps on it as well as other things and just tell Alexa to turn things on and off. So easy! The app that works with this is a little confusing at first.

I actually purchased this so I could turn a window AC unit off/on when I was not at home. I have 2 cats at home and our new rental heats up rather quickly. I could see the inside temp and if the unit was actually off or on thru my PetCube cam. It worked great! Fast-forward to a few days later and our fridge thermostat has gone out so this plug is keeping our fridge food from freezing using the schedule feature. I need more of these in my life!

So, reviews are paid nowadays. So, Im staying away from sensationalized words. It was delivered in a bag in bubble wrap. It powered on. It synced. I agree with the price. Amazon is like a huge bargain bin. I got lucky.

This did not work for me no matter what I did. My wifi wasnt the issue, my apps were up to date. I tried in several locations of my home and still nothing.

Works great
