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

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!!!!

Because I had no issues with my Sengled Wifi Bulbs, I gave these a go. When I plugged them in and opened the Sengled Bluetooth app. I was able to find my device without issue but as soon as it was paired it immediately said not connected. Tried this process multiple times with multiple sengled plugs. Results were same.

These mostly paired quickly when they first arrived (first one paired in seconds with no effort, the rest took a few minutes and some work despite selecting to have them paired to my Alexa before they shipped). I was happy! Used them a few times the first day without issue. Woke up the next morning and all 3 Id set up the day prior said they were unresponsive. Ive tried EVERYTHING and they just dont work. Ive downloaded 3 different apps, tried to repair them with Alexa countless times (they are never found), they arent giving off a Wi-Fi signal so theyre not discoverable via the Sengled app. I tried the 4th one, which I never set up originally, and even that one didnt work (I figured it would set up like the 3 on Day 1 but I was wrong). Absolutely a waste of time and money. So frustrating. Im returning these.

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

I purchased these plugs to operate appliances with Alexa. There was no mention that the network wi-fi the Alexa is connected to must be a 2.4 G system. DO NOT purchase if you have a 5G network!!!!

Great item easy to use. No problem works fantastic.

Works as advertised but once you set it up with one cellphone you can’t detect it and connect with another.

Because these home automation devices require a cloud account to interact with them its like the manufacture shipped e-waste directly from the factory to my garbage can. And why wouldnt they demand that you create yet another account on yet another server under the guise of voluntary (its not) and the cloud (its not), even though the device(s) can run locally just fine without a cloud account on your local mobile device that knows what to do with Bluetooth? Why spend time and money engineering covert utilization data monitoring or back doors into your application or product only to be discovered by some pesky security researcher later. Better to just force the user to register the product in a cloud account somewhere so you can exfiltrate that user data the easy way using the cloud as a plausible excuse. 0 of 5 stars. WILL NOT recommend, and that is not to say CAN NOT or WOULD NOT or COULD NOT, but rather a long-considered, thought-out stance against lazy or sloppy programming or the outright desire to spy on users by forcing them into a cloud account in the application that controls these devices even though there is no demonstrable need for it. Save yourself the time and the money. Find something else that allows local control of your Bluetooth, Z-Wave, or Zigbee devices or something that will interoperate with Hubitat or other local command and control infrastructure.

Hard to find a plug that works well with 5ghz wifi. Most only work with 2.4. This works perfect with my 5ghz. One of the very few I could find to work.

Purchased a 4-pack 11 months ago. worked intermittently until a week ago. all stopped responding. previous trick of removing devices and re-adding did not help. Tried again. No luck. Pulled all of the plugs and decided to start over. Deleted devices and asked Alexa to discover devices. Surprise! All of the plugs showed back up despite not being plugged in. Tried for support from Alexa tech support. No help. Oh, tried all combos of app/phone/echo off as well. It did try to pair with my nearby echo after factory reset on plug but just showed the mac address for the plug and alexa stated not paired.
