TOPGREENER Smart Wi-Fi In-Wall Tamper Resistant Dual USB Charger Outlet, Energy Monitoring, Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, Outlet Receptacle, No Hub Required, TGWF215U2AM-W, White

Some things to know: 1. it works with the smartlife app if you already have devices that use that app. I was able to use auto-detect without a problem. Just put Smartlife in autodetect, make sure you enable bluetooth for the app, pre-populate the wifi password, and hold the button on the outlet down until the wifi light starts blinking. It detected the outlet in about 5-10 seconds. The wifi light will go dark and then it will be detected by the app. No need to install another controlling application. 2. It sets up 3 devices: The bottom outlet, the 2 USB ports (grouped together) and a third device that combined the USB and bottom outlet. 3. no problems with google assistant. Rename the devices in the topgreener or smartlife app before syncing with google assistant (or alexa) and the names come over properly. I put the USB and the combined device in a fake room so I can control the outlet with the entire room without affecting the USB, which for me would stay on under most circumstances. 4. If youre using a metal wall box, the fit will be tight and you will want to cover the power connections with electrical tape to avoid a short. A standard metal gang box worked fine, but it was a very tight fit.

Requires you to rename your Wi-Fi to xxxx-2.4G. Messed up every Wi-Fi device I own. Perhaps this doesn’t work with att, or mesh networks? After 3 hours of trying to set these up and connect them to Wi-Fi, I gave up. I’m an engineer and a millennial, so best of luck to you if you’re willing to waste an afternoon

The outlet part of the unit. Shuts off about every 20 mins or so. Dont know why. The unit is very bulky, will not fit in the smaller wall box that a lot of us have. The usb ports are very slow to charge.

What can I say. Its an outlet that can be controlled by wifi and lets you know how much power you use. Wish the stats were prettier and more information available. Ex: would like to see historical voltage, current in a graph or have the ability to show on a seperate webpage in realtime. Its wired into my RV for monitoring how much power my window AC uses and also alerts when the power turns off, yes it has alerts.

Be advised you can only controll the bottom plug and the top plug is always on. Also when you install the application it shows the 2 outlet plug but once you select the icon it only shows one outlet which is the bottom one. Whats the point of having a smart dual plug installed which only one of them is controllable. If that was the case you can get single plug. Same for the USBs , you can either turn both on or both off, you cant control them seperatly.separately. Also the power monitoring only work on the bottom plug!

Garbage... lasted 2 years... no warranty but offered me a coupon for another 2 year hunk of junk

The ONLY proper design is ONE outlet on the BOTTOM with the ground on the BOTTOM and the USB ports all the way on the top. The VAST majority of charging bricks if plugged into the top outlet would make the USB ports in the middle difficult to use or COVER them. A brick in the bottom would again make USB ports in the middle difficult to use. And quite frankly, how many people have over $20 (without installation) to blow on EVERY one of the 20 plus outlets in their home? Oh, you are only supposed to put them in a couple of places. Well, what if your habits change? Or you figure out that you put them in the wrong place to start with? Another payment to an electrician to move them? $100 just for them to show up. Obviously, all these smart home products sell enough to make them worthwhile to produce but Ive got a dash button, dash wand, smart wall switch, a couple of smart plugs and numerous other things sitting in boxes that I just dont have time to PLAY with, because they really are just toys. How hard is it to get off your @$$ and flip a switch?

Electrician installed. Plug turns itself off regularly. Wifi app doesnt work. Without app, cannot work with Alexa. Waste of money on both the product and install. Would not recommend.

It works great in a small office area. takes care of less cords etc.

I have used their products before, and this works good for what it is. Easy as any outlet change out as far as install. But what I dont like is the way that the wifi cuts off both USBs as well as the top outlet. My idea with it was to plug in a lamp at my bed side (voice controlled) but if I plug my cell phone into a USB and use the voice control to cut the lights out to go to bed, the USB (my cell phone) cuts off too. Some situations this might be a preferred method but I would rather have one USB on all the time or make the whole thing programmable, or something as simple as using a jumper in the back to change as to which ports to cut on and off with the wifi. Over all cool idea, defiantly got my gadget senses tingling, but I will in future stick to the wifi outlets you plug in line until Top Greener does something a little different with this device.
