Very difficult to hook up, needs both BT and WiFi and still doesnt connect. Difficult app. Going back to mechanical outlet timer

In a house with no overhead lighting these are the best to have automatic light on night. These are so easy to set up and use. Will definitely continue to buy these in the future!

Very easy to connect. And works great with Alexa. Now hand free with my living room lamp, great product with the price.

I’ve been appreciating and enjoying my SwitchBot outlets to time connections to my aquarium. I’ve found it extremely helpful as a timer for both my lights as well as the wavemaker

The Good: This is indeed a smart outlet plug that connects to an app on your phone allowing you to control your outlet power remotely. It’s a white box that plugs into a 3-prong outlet and lets you plug in (1) 3-prong power cord into it. It has a button on the side that you can use to connect its Bluetooth and as a manual ON/OFF switch. The size and shape does not block the other outlet socket. The Bad: The app certainly looks like an app, it feels like an app, and even smells like an app. But it is the furthest thing from a good app. It’s just terrible, and kind of has a resemblance to the Hue Philips app. They clearly took inspiration. When you open the app you have to create an account. And I’ll tell you right now, you better remember your password or your account is gone. I forgot my password, so I tried to reset it but was informed my email didn’t exist. I tried to make a new account with the same email and was informed I already had an account. And I always thought I was indecisive. If you forget your password, the app forgets you made an account. If you try to make a new account, then the app remembers you made an account, until you try to reset your password. When you add a device to the app list then close the app and reopen it, the app will forget you added a device; it might even sign you out. I eventually got my device to fully connect, and once that finally happened it was smooth sailing. I was able to setup some automatic timer schedules, and I’ve been using it daily without issues. In conclusion, the device works great. The app sucks and has a high potential of giving you a hard time. If, and it’s certainly possible, you get your device fully connected you’ll have exactly what you were looking for.

This switch was so easy to program. I May order a couple more

These work exactly as intended, and the app is very easy to use, with one notable exception. Theres no timer condition in th scenes tab. You can set different devices to turn on and off following a schedule, but theres no way to tell a device to turn off after X amount of inactivity time.

Works nicely. Cant attest to the accuracy of the energy usage monitor, but the app and timer feature work great. Only complaint is I keep getting an error message: your current wifi signal is weak, move device closer to router. Switch is about 5 feet from router.

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

I use it mainly to monitor a PC in my house. It works instantly and has a built in power meter in the app, I will say the power meter is very lacking tho, could definitely use improvement as it only provides real time. They could add things like: Max power draw, average power draw 10% highs and lows etc, but all things considered it’s a nice little wifi outlet.
