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

Love these plugs. Ive had them for almost 2 years and they are consistently reliable and Alexa always recognizes them. With the recent update to the Alexa app, though, it dawned on me that my plugs are categorized as switches and not plugs. I even removed them and re-added them but they still get recognized or categorized as switches. With the Alexa app update, I am noticing for the first time that there are separate categories for plugs and switches and Im so curious why these wont connect as plugs within the app.

Like the title says… skip these with every fiber of your being. Initial set up was a breeze. Just plugged them in and my Echo Dot and Alexa found them and added them. Success!!! Ok let’s test them… they worked. They turned the Christmas tree and other lights on and off on command. I’m king of the world!!! I can go to bed now. The next morning, I proudly have my wife try. She’s going to love it and bestow many displays of affection on me. It doesn’t work.. IT DOESN’T F@&@NG WORK. I try.. nothing. I turn them on and off manually, try to re-pair them, delete them from the profile and try again. No Alexa isn’t even seeing them. No displays of affection for me, no automated lights. Sadness settles in. In the end, the only thing that brought happiness was sending them back. Oh, if you read this far, don’t buy them. They don’t work!!!!

When Alexa scans for this plug, it finds it as a switch. Furthermore it will not function as a Bluetooth ONLY device. I bought it to reboot my modem from my phone when WiFi gets jiggie or simply needs it. NOT! The app for this plug/switch needs a major overhaul. Two for the price of one made them keepers once I figured out how the Sengled software doesnt work.

I wanted to connect two LED floor lamps to this smart plug. But only one outlet is available on this device. So, I added a cube tap to allow the two lamps to be controlled from this plug. The result works, but is kludgy. This switch could easily be designed to handle on more than a single device. But, its not. So, four stars

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.

I wouldnt consider these to be smart. Cant control them away from home or set a timer without the Alexa

Finally got setup to work with alexa. Worked well for about 2 months then lost connection. Have tried to reconnect through bluetooth and alexa no success. Just worhs as manual on and off switch now. All 4 failed at same time.

First off, I have Sengled lightbulbs and they are great. They work with the Sengled home app. However, these plugs only work with the Sengled Bluetooth app, meaning your phone has to be nearby with Bluetooth on to control the plugs, since they are not Wi-Fi plugs. That’s not so so bad, I’m home often. But the Sengled Bluetooth app does not have scheduling capabilities! It literally only has an on and off button. So if you are in the house, you can turn the plug on or off from across the house, that’s it. This makes it false advertising for me, as you need an Alexa to schedule the plugs. I tried the Alexa app, but no, you need the actual device.

one of two plugs stopped working after two days, use on floor lamps. wont reset

I’ve tried several other smart outlets that make you change your WiFi settings and just aren’t user friendly. But not these. Super easy to use
