Zero stars. Pathetic garbage. Don’t buy,

I use this mini switch to control my 3D printer which can use a decent amount of energy. I have a camera on the printer to monitor the progress. Prints can take many hours if not days. Once completed I can remotely shut download the printer. I can also start the printer up to warm it up for a new print. Great reliable product. Love Switchbot!

I have few US devices with US plug, so this is so handy to have. Great features such as voltage monitoring, scheduling, routines, indicator light, manual switch on/off. Cons: a little too wide if using multi-extension socket. No UK plug adapter provided. Pros: fairly priced, works with applehome kit, Alexa, & more. Recommended

These smart switches work reliably and are simple to set up. The only negatives Ive found are the 4 timer limit per switch, and the fact that the app requires an email address and account to work. The devices are also compatible with Tasmota and I believe ESP Home, so there is always the option of going that route, I suppose.

The first thing that I noticed about this was the maker...it was interesting for me to see Monster throw their proverbial hat in the smart home ring but I think its great. The second thing I noticed was the MSRP but it was actually very reasonable. I remember a few years ago anything like this would be triple or more. In addition to this being Smart, it tracks energy usage. I am not sure how accurate it is (and I dont have a device at the moment to confirm it), but the math seems to make sense and add up. This was simple to install, it has been pretty easy to integrate with my existing system. I like the simplicity, the features, and the value. Pros: Easy to install Great value Tracks energy usage Works well Cons: I wish it took up a bit less space because it is sometimes more difficult to maneuver around it

These are a great way to find out what your bigger power wasters are in your house and/or have a controllable power switch. I only gave it 3 stars for ease of use because I had to contact customer support to find out how to delete the power usage history when I want to move the switch to a different plug/device. Plot twist: you cant. However, if you hold the button for about 20 seconds it will completely reset the SwitchBot. Then you just delete and re-add it in the app.

I am really enjoying these Mini Plugs. I got these to replace iHome plugs that the company stopped supporting. The majority of my smart devices are Z-Wave and Zigbee but for those that dont have a smart hub Switchbot is a good option since the plugs connect directly to cloud via Wifi. They can also be managed via bluetooth if the cloud connection is not available. I recently transitioned from Wink Hub 2 to SmartThings. Switchbot plugs have a direct integration with SmartThings, when you add the plugs to the Switchbot App they will be available for control and automations in SmartThings. I find that operation of the plugs is just as fast as my local control devices. The only drawback is if the cloud goes down then the plugs are only controllable via bluetooth which is much slower. Each plug tracks energy consumption whoever in SmartThings you can only see energy consumption the power meter isnt populated. The Switchbot app provides additional power details: Power, Current, Voltage, Historical Usage. If you use the Switchbot hub these will also integrate with it, so these plugs give you several options for control that other plugs dont provide. Even though I prefer local control (Z-Wave and Zigbee) I am enjoying these plugs as an additional option... and they are priced well.

It doesnt get better than this! Well, better for them- worse for you. The product is cheap because it harvests your private data and ferrets it into their database. You are the product and this is spyware to a level not seen since facebook was introduced. In order to simply switch your plug on and off you need to create an online account, agree to anything and everything in their TOS, give them your wifi password, provide your location whenever you use the app, and when you don’t(!!), agree to marketing emails, navigate past their online store in the app, install a widget and update your device firmware to the latest no doubt network sniffing version. I feel sick. Its a data-grab and theyre taking the maximum possible leveraging your desire to turn a device on and off with a timer. Theyre going to sell your data to everyone and anyone, and if they say they arent that just means whoever buys their company will inherit the database and do it for them. No no no no, no no no. NO. NO. What am I saying? No means no. Hands off my private data. No you cant have my wifi password. No of course you cant follow me around. It absolutely is not your business where my product operates. Im not subscribing to marketing emails and accepting a terms of service in order to use a product I purchased. Its a plug. This is beyond invasive. Imagine going to a hardware store and purchasing a plug splitter only to find a staff member followed you home, and is sitting in a car outside logged into your wifi and waiting for you to leave so they can record your every move. The people you meet, the protests you attend, the stores you shop at, your gynecologist, storage locker, bar, significant other, and other, your office. Would that bother you? ***** On the other hand - if you are willing to totally sacrifice your privacy, the switchbot range of devices do a pretty good job. That is the parts of the app that were designed to serve you and not them.

app is complete garbage, it doesnt work half the time and the plug itself were not working right out of the box.

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?
