These work great but set up was frustrating. I’m using these with my air conditioners in my living room and my bedroom and I love that you can set schedules with these outlets. For example I have one air conditioner set to turn on when I’m on my way home from work so that the apartment is nice and cool when I get home and I have the one in my bedroom set to turn on a little while before I go to bed so the room is cool and comfortable when I get in bed. My only issues with these were the set up. 1) They need to be plugged in to set up. Which makes perfect sense but the QR code that you need to scan is on the bottom of the outlet so I had to get on the floor and lay under it while pointing my phone at the code. Uncomfortable and awkward but forgivable. 2) Set up with the Home app on an iPhone (Mine) and an IPad (girlfriends) was annoying and overly complicated.

We mostly use Wemo outlets but, not finding the ones we usually purchase, we bought four of these. Each outlet, a least once a month, we get the message that the outlet is not responding and then have to climb behind or move furniture to manually turn on/off the outlet or reset it.

I tried two other brands for my Home Kit setup. They failed to be responsive and reliable. The VoColink smart plugs are not easy to install but work all the time without a hitch. They are very responsive to status changes I enter on my iPhone.

I bought the single plug and it worked fine. I, later, bought a four-pack, and I had trouble installing 2 out of 4. Once they were installed, they struggled to stay connected. I ended up returning the four-pack, but the single plug is still up and running. Seems like it might be hit or miss. I have VOCOlinc bulbs and contact sensors, which work great.
