Smart Plug Mini 15A, WiFi Smart Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home Assistant, Remote Control with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4-Pack

The smart plugs are working fine now but the set up was difficult and the documentation poor. 4 of the 6 plugs would not work with their Auto Scan set up and had to be added manually. That wasnt difficult but the documentation was not good so there was some trial and error. Also, where you have to select the model of smart plug there are about 8-10 choices and none of the info listed matched what was printed on the plugs. Again, poor documentation, mismatched information. Two phones could not scan the QR codes on the devices so that was not an option for set up. Needs work.

These worked very well for about 3 months, then one stopped working and the other stopped working a few days later. At first they both turned off and on at random times. Now neither of them will pair at all. Disappointing.

I needed a way to turn off my bedroom lamps, which I can’t reach well from bed. I’m of an older generation less well-versed in modern options, so I googled lamps that turn on and off with clapping. (Shoutout to fellow children of the ‘80s.) This smart plug came up in searches and I thought, well, duh. I bought two and they work great. I had no trouble setting them up with the app on my iPhone 13. They’re easy to use and the app is seamless. I’ll consider this brand again when I need more smart devices.

These are not as easy to setup as the “enbrighten” brand but once you are able to connect one it makes the process of connecting the next ones way easier. Love being able to set the timer for multiple times a day and it works great!!

Havent been able to use with 5G internet

I ordered the 4pack of Wi-Fi sockets. One of them wouldn’t work. Something was faulty in the button on the socket. So I emailed their customer support shown on the box and got a response within 1 working day. Within a week, I received 2 new sockets to replace the one original and the new sockets worked great. I’ve been using these sockets for nearly 2 months now and they work great with my iPhone and google home assistant to voice command your lights on/off. The set-up and connection to iPhone and Wi-Fi is a bit cumbersome. The directions for setup both written and on the iPhone are hard to follow, lack details like telling you to wait for a few seconds while the iPhone app connects the sockets to your Wi-Fi. It’s happening in the background but it looks like they are not responding. Once connected to Wi-Fi and iPhone, connecting to google home is easy. I gave 3 stars for the faulty socket and combersome setup. customer support is very impressive, it’s just disappointing to get faulty product new out of the box. Overall these are a pretty good value if they all work as expected.

Got it set up and working with my Alexa devices, but not as easy as the Amazon plugs. First you have to download the HBN app and create an account. Then you plug in the plug, find your network- you MUST have a 2.4 Ghz network if you only have 5 Ghz it wont work - enter the password for your network, then hit reset on the plug and search for it in the app. Once its found youre good to go. Now you have to go the Alexa app, enable the HBN skill, go to games and skills, find the hbn skill, click on it, and search for devices until it finds the plug. Mine found it on the second try. If you want to name the plug you must do so in the HBN app. So there you go, if it was an Amazon plug it would set itself up on your Alexa network immediately. Now that its setup it works just fine. If its worth it to save a few $$, and you are ok with the extra setup steps, its a good product.

So, it took me 3 hours over 2 days to get the first one set up. Accomplished that after watching the very helpful video. The written, included instructions are almost a waste of time. 3 hours of my time to be exact. But once set up (I had better luck with the SmartLife app than the HBN app intrigrating with Alexa), they function very nicely. I recommend them, just take a different path at installation.

It works with Alexa, however, youll need to download and register for an account in another app. So actually, Alexa does not directly control the plug; Alexa integrates with your third-party account to control the plug,. Im not a big fan of needing another app to set it up, but it works. After its set up, you can delete the Kasa app if desired and it still works with Alexa.
