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

Luckily my son is tech savvy or I would never been able to use this item. I had no clue about mesh. He told me I had to plug all four in with a distance in-between and then program. Once I did this, they work great and I bought more. I have them all through my home. LOVE IT

Good price but a pain to figure out how to get them to work. I’ll stick with actual Amazon plugs from now on.

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

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.

Didnt connect to the app, doesnt connect to other hubs. Waste of money. Their app is trash.

Good

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

No instructions in the package, BUT! if you go in the alexa app follow these steps Devices-add-add devices-other-discover devices-set up device-all set! And it works with 5ghz, all the smart plugs i found, esspecially the packs, only worked with 2.4ghz and xfinity is a pain to change it.

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.

Like I said, two of them connected and the other two wouldnt. I placed them within an inch of my wireless router and they still wouldnt connect.
