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

Keeps constantly disconnecting, convoluted process to connect to Alexa, requiring an email address just to use… these plugs are pretty much worthless. Unless you need something quick, to hold you until you purchase decent ones, don’t bother. The other issues are workable, but no… constantly disconnecting is a no-no for a smart device. I only gave the extra star because its responsive at least 45-50% of the time.

Only issue I had was that it suggests that the product needs updated software but when you try (in the US) to do it...you get a forbidden to upgrade message. It did not stop the product from working as expected however, just click ignore and it works fine.

Easy return

Very difficult to understand how to set up with the app and connect to Alexa. It’s doable just takes time to figure it all out. Also sometimes the plugs don’t want to find the Bluetooth device so you may have to try a few times. I have had better success with selecting an unknown Bluetooth device rather than selecting a plug to connect Alexa.

I like they are small, but they didnt work after the power went out. The 2.4 internet connection, for me, didnt work. My brother got me hooked up, but I couldnt re hook it up after we lost power. Its probably worth it for me to pay more, with the people friendly option.

Buy a magnifying glass to read directions. However be sure to use app name from directions and NOT the recommended one for brand by Alexa.

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.

These were so easy to install. It took probably five minutes to set up all four of them for my Christmas lights around my house. I love that you can set up a schedule for when do you want them to turn on and off. But I’m not super thrilled about the military time on the app but I’ll get over it lol.
