SwitchBot Smart Plug Mini 15A, Energy Monitor, Smart Home WiFi(2.4GHz) & Bluetooth Outlet Compatible with Alexa & Google Home, APP Remote Control & Timer Function for Home Automation, No Hub Required

I plugged one of these into the line between the wall and my freezer. Tried to get it and my phone to recognize each other and my phone said NO DEVICE PRESENT, tried another phone and it was the same way. Neither phone would recognize it as a Bluetooth devise which the ad said and the person that answers questions on there site told me when I asked. Only out a few dollars but only because I checked and tried several times with my phone, after awhile the device shut the electric power off and also the freezer (because I checked I didnt loose all my stuff). I would say YOU CAN NOT USE BLUETOOTH which is what I wanted to set these up as.

I use this to control my power strip that turns on and off my lights for my kids indoor garden project. App is easy to use, you just plug it in and set the schedule. Done. If you want an app-controlled timer (keep in mind it is Bluetooth range only) its a good choice from a real company, not some jumblename knockoff.

i love all of the products from switch bot. they are all so compatible and they work so well together. i have issues with connections with smart plugs and devices but this one works so well. 100% would recommend

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.

When it is connected to hub, it works great. Mine occasionally disconnect from SwitchBot hub just 15 feet away. A bit too glitchy. Also, it will not handle a/c window unit 5000 watt. This was the main reason for buying this so when room temperature reached a certain temperature it would turn off/on a/c, but it keeps tripping off. Unless you are going to use it for a fan or light, I don’t recommend buying these smart plugs.

Ive owned 49 of these SwitchBot plugs since they were released just over a month ago. I also own dozens of plugs from various manufacturers, like TP-Link, Sonoff, BN-Link, Emporia, etc. These plugs are, by far, my favorite. I have one plugged into just about every outlet in my house, where reasonable. Heres some of my key highlights that differentiate these plugs from all the junk online: - The build quality is outstanding. There are no seams or otherwise weird manufacturing quirks on any of my plugs. While aesthetics of a smart plug arent particularly important, I wouldnt be comfortable trusting a no-name brand plug with a poor exterior to have safe internals. SwitchBot really surprised me with the quality as soon as I picked up my first plug, and I was happy to find no defects on any of my 50. - They work cloud-free, if necessary. Many of the plugs on Amazon rely on their proprietary app and proprietary online API, rendering the plugs entirely useless if their company no longer supports them. After setting up these plugs, they continue to work without internet directly over Bluetooth, with few functional compromises. Although most smart plugs on the market are currently ESP based (which is an IoT Bluetooth/WiFi module), many of them only utilize the WiFi features after setup. SwitchBot ensured the longevity of their product by allowing it to work in-app over Bluetooth. - Theyre accurate out of the box. In my lab, I was able to measure each plugs reported metrics with a calibrated test load and against a calibrated power meter. I found the device itself to consume 0.6-0.9 W on average, and measure the calibrated load accurately down to a tenth of a Watt. Extremely good quality, considering some plugs off Amazon measure 5-10 watts off, out of the box. Some stuff for the advanced users: these work great with Tasmota, allowing you to utilize Home Assistant / whatever setup your smart home already uses, finetune the calibration, disable the toggle button, disable the bluetooth, etc. All in all, SwitchBot took the existing smart plug market and designed a plug that outperforms the competitors at a price point that blows them out of the water. They work amazingly out of the box and can also be better tweaked with third party software like Tasmota.

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

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.

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

Would have been nice to use CB if V it V worked.
