Sengled Smart Plug Works with Alexa, Amazon Smart Plug Bluetooth Mesh, Alexa Plug Smart Outlet Remote Control, 15A Smart Socket, 1800W, Timer & Schedule, FCC Certified, No Hub Required, 2-Pack

I loved these at first but not now. Couldnt get two of them to work previously but two did until last night. I turned one on in the morning but last night it would not respond. I have internet so it should connect. Still says unresponsive. Ugh

Easy to use, but does NOT work with SmartThings. (I purchased in error, but did at least try these.). If you need ST, you want the other Sengled plugs.

Fast shipment/delivery. Very good product. Easy to install.

Alexa only recognizes the plug as a switch. Deal breaker? No. But if its a plug and you want to control all the same devices, it does become messy.

Good

Its extremely disappointing that these specific Sengled smart plugs dont work with Alexa. You do need an additional app (Sengled Ble Mesh) to control it. Theres no way to connecr this app up with Alexa. It does work from the app but not what we were looking for. We needed it to connect to Alexa.

The product description promised that one can set on/off hours via the Sengled App. I was able to install the switch but the app only give remote on/off option without any programming. Attempts to reach the Sengled support were fruitless. If all you want is manual remote control for on/off, this product will do. I am going to order someone that can be programmable and would actually deliver on its promise.

After hours online with tech support from Amazon, a solution to why the plugs dont work with Alexa could not be found, it seems that an update has rendered the function useless, another gripe I have about this item is that a second application has to be downloaded, called Sengled Ble Mesh, it does interact with the regular Sengled app and has to be used on its own separately, and whats worse is that it works only on a single device, so if you have multiple people in the household or multiple devices only device can control it. I am terrible dispapointed in Sengled for this, I do not recommend this plugs at all, and will be returning the ones I bought.

I wanted to love these plugs, and for the first week, I did, but then something happened to Sengled and their entire system went down for hours. Since then, there has been nothing but issues. My formerly known as plugs are now showing as switches in my Alexa app and are not staying connected, which is also off because they have disappeared completely from my Sengled app and will not repair. In fact, they will not go back into pair mode at all. Like I said, I wanted to love them, but Sengled lost a customer here. I contacted them for help and they did not reply to my email. I got the generic, “we are busy; figure it out for yourself online,” type of response, so I packaged them up and sent them back today. I hope I have better luck going bank to the Amazon brand plugs.

Bluetooth Plugs work great, very good Bluetooth distance strength. They probably connect great through Alexa but it is the Bluetooth mobile app that leaves much to be desired. It took about 45 minutes to finally get all 4 of them all connected using the Bluetooth app. Had to factory reset some of the plugs multiple times before the app would finally recognize them. The app in not intuitive.
