Forget the stories of it being intrusive. It simply doesnt work and the company simply doesnt care. Two days of kids running the TV and the device shows ZERO power usage! I would say this goes beyond inaccurate. So I write to customer service their FAQ states. Two days later, I get an answer that they will pass it along to the tech team for further assistance. How many days will that be? I can answer for me... none. Its being boxed up now for return. ***Update. They wrote back finally a few days after offering to send a replacement for free. It took weeks but I got it and so far, this one works actually. I will follow up and raise it more if it is working after a week or two. They made me wait, so they can too.

App to make product work crashes and does not allow device to work

I was looking for an smart plug that had 3 features: Alexa integration, power monitoring and export to excel capabilities, only switchbot meet all my requirements plus also other integrations like IFTTT , so far has been an amazing smart plug. 100% recommended

I got these to turn on a light in my bedroom at a certain time because I work overnights and my room is dark (I use blackout curtains) when I need to wake up. It definitely helps!! I already had the app because I have the automatic curtain open/closers from the same brand. I already knew how to set it up bc of that but the app is super user friendly for anyone using it for the first time!

The timer feature turns on but does not turn off the device. Isn’t this device supposed to work when I’m not at home?

Even though this product has a great rating on all other points one thing that is very clearly most important is the amount of scheduled settings the on/off may have is only 5 and its very greatly important to have about 100 scheduled on/off instead... this product fails in that regard and is very important to be changed by the programers that made its schedule limit so low as being only 5. Major bumber.

Arrived quickly, no probs.

The only problem that I have with this is that it automatically locks to the off position because my dehumidifier apparently uses too much power for the plug to handle. So I can possibly find other applications for the plug but I cant use it for its intended purpose.

The plug itself is the same you can buy from other manufacturers. Energy Monitor is a cool feature albeit not comprehensive. It has immediate current and wattage and daily consumption. However, there is no way to see how much power has been drawn during the day.

good
