Smart Plug ESICOO, WiFi Plugs That Work with Alexa, Echo, Google Home, Surge Protector & Timer & Group Controller, ETL & FCC Certified, No Hub Required, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4 Pack

This review is for the product released around 2018 that uses Smart Life. Using the product was painless, very simple, and fast. I ordered 2 sets (4 each) when the product went on sale and all worked fine and only 1 failed (which prompted me to write this review). When 1 out of 8 failed, I reached out to the seller, and I never have to return the failed device, I just got sent 4 of them (a full set). It was fast, it was efficient, no questions asked replacement because he told me that this product have 2 years warranty. I hope that other companies follow suit. I gave this product a 5 star (the old version), for price, performance, customer support, warranty, and versatility. Btw, the replacement I got doesnt seem to be compatible with Smart Life, so I have yet to test it. Pros: + Easy to set up + Fast connection + Maintains 2.4 GHz link for a long time + Warranty (2yrs) and Customer Support + Supports Google Home / Assistant Cons: - Build quality is not the best, plastic body feels rough - Power On/Off feels cheap Neutral: = Price, if you like this product, watch out for coupons or deals. = 10A and 2.4Ghz WiFi

These work fairly well; the big problem I have is every time they get unplugged or lose power, and I relogin with the app (cloud intelligence IOS app) all the timer on events get changed to timer off, and I have to manually go back and change them from ‘timer off’ to timer on. Which means remembering which is which, but at least that is easier than setting them up initially. (Which is also not all that difficult) Have had one of 8 of these get locked up, but unplugging it and resuming it (with the changing timer offs to on) did work just fine. The rest have worked flawlessly for a couple of months or more.

I love the ease of setting these up and adding them to be controlled by Alexa. For some reason once and a while a plug will randomly go offline (I have 8.) Not a huge deal for most of them. You just have to unplug for a few seconds, then replug in. Not terrible, just annoying. I would say probably once a week or maybe longer one random plug will be offline.

I’m constantly having to unplug them, because the cute little power button does nothing, just to get them to work every few weeks or so. It’s a downer because I use these on outlets that are difficult to reach so it’s very frustrating when they’re disconnected. When they do work, they work fine. As others have said, the setup process can be a pain if you’re not very tech savvy.

I bout this and had it sent to my sister she stated the packaging was horrible, but the product does still work and she loves them

I have these all over my house and love them......Although......Im gradually losing them one by one. They seem to stop working after a couple of years.

They work accept they are too bulky. I tried to install two of them stacked 1 to control my Speaker and other to control the Subwoofer. I couldnt fit both on the same outlet. I had to use a small extension plug so I can fit both on the se outlet. Setup was easy like every other smart plug I used before.

You have to read the directions and download the app that suggests. Then link that app with your alexa app not too hard to do although im not text savvy. So if I can do it anyone can. Just be patient follow the directions they work great.

I was a little skeptical at first when I ordered these because I was not familiar with the brand. The size of these smart plugs is very convenient. The quality is very good. I rated the installation a 3 instead of a 5 and overall product a 4 out of 5 only because even though I have English selected for the app a few selections / options still show up in a different language I can’t read and have to use a translator app to read (e.g. scene actions selection). Overall I am happy with these. I wish they worked with Apple’s Siri too but these are working great with my Echo dots and the Alexa app (iOS). The Cloud Intelligence app even works remotely via cellular internet while away from home and not just on my home Wifi, so this is great to turn lights on when I am on my way home or to check if I forgot to turn my lights off after I leave.

I have several brands of smart plugs and products. All I own are google or Alexa compatible. This plug is not seamless. I have to link Alexa everytime I install a new plug. Others manufacturers are recognized as soon as I install. Moreover, the manufacturer Cloud interferenceis not on amazons list of plug manufacturer. Ill keep them because they are cheap. I assume this manufacturer bought out a defunct Chinese manufacturer or just changed their name.
