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

They work with a different app than all my other devices, I wish it were ewelink or kasa compatible, but they work good and Ive had no issues. Works great with Google home ***follow up 3/20/2022*** These plugs are still working fine, if you are a basic user they will work for you. I use IFTT for more advanced automation such as inching switches as multi-action situations like having my motion activated flood light camera turn on my blink camera recordings, sound an audible alarm, turn on different lights around the house and send us texts. The cloud intelligence app will not work in IFTTT. I was able to swap these with some other basic plugs that I dont use with IFTTT so it was not the end of the world for me. Be aware - Does not work with IFTTT

These smart plugs are really for someone who purchase smart devices for the first time. These power plugs have a really attractive price. For someone who already have some smart devices, we are looking for devices that will be compatible with our existing devices and systems, for easy access and programming. It is not possible to use a WiFi motion sensor installed in Tuya/Smart Life to control and WiFi switch installed under Cloud Intelligence. It is also a much worse headache to find out if my living room light and my kitchen fan are in Smart Life or in Cloud Intelligence -- of course, if you have only two devices, this is not the problem. If you have 20 WiFi devices ... you will not be happy to play this seeking game 20 times a day. It will not take a long time for someone to start putting everything under a same app, or existing app... I was very happy to purchase these plugs with the great price, but soon I am so disappointed to find out that these ESICOO plugs are not the same, they cannot be installed to Smart Life, where all of my WiFi devices are installed, motion sensors, switches, plugs, and mini plugs. So that these ESICOO plugs cannot interact with other existing wifi devices locally. To integrate with my existing devices, I will have to use Echo, involving additional cloud exposure. In addition, these plugs cannot be installed with Tasmota firmware over the air either by EZ mode or AP mode. It is very hard to open one up and wire connect directly risking to stab one thumb with a screw driver and burn another with a soldering iron. These plugs are also described as compatible with Vera. But this is a false statement. The true is, they CANNOT be installed in VeraLite or VeraEdge. There is no Vera plug-in or App for them. I give three stars because these plugs turn on- and off and have WiFi. Someone may be able to use them. But, to myself, these plugs are one star, because if I use them, I have to trash all my existing smart devices!

I purchased these plugs to control a set of lamps through Alexa. The installation and configuration in Alexa was very easy, Ive used the remote control option through the app a few times and it works well but for the most part I have been controlling these through Alexa routines and voice control. The one down side is that the switches occasionally lose WiFi signal, which prevents me from controlling through Alexa or the app. They do come with a physical button on the side which still works in this case but it is a major irritation when this happens. They have always (so far) re-established connection on their own, and only lose connection about once a month, but thats once a month for each plug, so at any given time in a month Im having an issue with at least one of them.

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 wish I would have seen the exact same plugs that uses the Smart Life app for the same price, before I purchased these. These plugs run off an app named Cloud Intelligence. So, it takes additional steps to set them up. Its another app you have to pair with Alexia. Its another app to sign up for, another account, another password, and another company with your email address. Its another app you need to figure out how to use. Later, you have to remember which app runs what plug and it gets overwhelming. I have multiple light bulbs, multiple plugs, multiple light switches, a thermostat, a washer, and a TV. Now, guess the name of the app that runs what, if you have to reset it. Other than that, the plugs work fine.

Apparently I misread and didn’t understand that these do not work with a 5G network. My bad. But they work fine on less that 5 g according to my IT installation guy.

THIS IS HOW YOU PAIR WITH ALEXA: You have to download the Cloud Intelligence app and you must have the Alexa app. Put the device in pairing mode by holding the button for 5 seconds until it starts blinking. Using the Cloud Intelligence app, select add a device or use the auto find feature. You must have a 2.4g wifi signal for it to pair and you must input your wifi password. You must also allow permissions for Bluetooth and precise location while using the app. Once the device is found, edit the device and rename it whatever you want. Then Open the Alexa app. You must be logged into BOTH accounts. Using the Cloud Intelligence app, go to the profile tab, select More Services and youll see amazon alexa and google assistant. Select amazon alexa, select Bind Account and your phone will open your Alexa app and it will attempt to link the two apps/accounts together. This opens a web page and will either be successful or not. Your Alexa app will get a notification saying its been paired, and your alexa may even audibly tell you that it found new devices, with the names you gave the devices if you edited the names in the Cloud Intelligence app. TEST TO SEE IF WORKING AND THEN DELETE THIS INVASE DATA STEALING APP. It is granted permissions to your search history, photo library, exact location, all your bluetooth and wifi info. Plugs work great but the amount of info it requires to install is downright unacceptable

Great product, easy install. Very useful and allows you to plug in 3 pin plugs to your outlets (AKA grounded plugs) into your outlets. The only problem with this product is that you have to set the scheduled on & off times in military hours. The majority of the world doesn’t go off military hours so it’s annoying. To get it right you have to google for a military time to standard time picture/diagram to program it correctly. Secondly when the app logs you out, which is often, you have to log in again and acknowledge the terms of use each, and every time, it’s very unnecessary a little bothersome, but it’s not the end of the world. Other than that you’ll love this product. It’s very useful, and you can control it when you are away from home. It’s also more compact than the old standard light timers which require pins, and buttons, and sometimes you hit those buttons when you’re cleaning which then messes everything up. Moreover if you have multiple old timers they all turn on at different times even if you try to match them perfectly. BUT!!! With these “NEW” digital Bluetooth wifi timers you can turn everything on at the same time like Christmas or decorative lighting. Or you also have the option of having lamps, or anything else turn on at different times. You have better control with these new timers. Definitely a win, and I love the product. Please change the military time format.

These products worked great for the first year! However, do not plan on them working longer than that! I bought 20 of these in total and used them for Christmas lights last year in my home. Tried to reconnect them this year and only 3 of them still work. The others will connect, but after about an hour, they all just stop working entirely. Waste of money!

Main reason I bought this Smart Switch was becaaaaaaaaause, in the comments a seller said; Works with Smart life app. I think someone should say something about this misinformation, in that I have verified; Does NOT work with Smart life app. This is important information to know in that, like myself I have several smart switches and sensors which all use the Smart life app and the next purchase needs to be compatable/integrate with Smart life to be able to auto switch on/off, read temperature... Without An Echo (Alexa) device. I wont be returning because, can be used for other things.
