> 3 dayIve purchased a number of these and the majority work fine. But - I paid for all of them so they should all work fine. Right? They appear to be well made and once successfully installed they are reliable and stay connected to the HomeKit network. Their price is significantly less than competing products (Eve Energy, WeMo) but so far 1 out of 6 fail to connect during the initial setup. Support is only available via email and they expect you to take a screen recording of your setup process and send it to them. Folks, this isnt rocket science, and the setup procedure is very easy. They either connect or they dont. 6 resets later and it still wouldnt finish the setup process. So if I toss the failed one in the trash since they have not offered to replace it, the cost of the other 5 increases a bit. Still a good value but frustrating none the less.

> 3 dayHave not had these installed more than 15 minutes and Im on here to praise VOCOlinc. Setup was insanely easy: use their app or the Apple Home app; one finishes the job for the other--so you only have to go through the process once. I used the Home app, and then launched the VOCOlinc app to find it had been already setup. Changes I made in one would automatically show up in the other. These are GREAT! Im sticking with VOCOlinc if all their devices are this easy to setup and use.

> 3 dayIve had a few days playing with the VOCOlinc Smart Plug Mini 2 pack. The integration with my HomeKit system was easy within the Apple Home app. Once installed, I opened the Vocolinc app to see what other features are available with the devices. Once I selected the devices, they prompted me to download the latest firmware, which installed fast and without any issue. The only other feature I can see that the app provides is a timer to turn on or off the device. I will most likely use the smart plugs with HomeKit only and integrate them with my automation and scenes. Im currently using them to power lamps in my office. They also work great to automate a Christmas tree when the time comes. Pros: -Easy Setup -Small footprint you can fit two in one wall outlet -VOCOlinc updates the firmware frequently, giving me hope that they will patch any security vulnerabilities that arise. -Works with all popular smart home platforms -It comes with two devices per pack saving on cost when you need more than one. Cons: -None Yet

> 3 dayItem arrived as described. I am a VOCOlinc user so have used their bulbs and their smart power surge before. So figured I would order this well since we are moving into a bigger place and want our home to be a smart home. Used it both with Google assistant and Apple Siri to plug in our lamps to it and it works great. We wanted to hook it up to our VItamix or coffee maker but not sure it will work with them because it turns the outlet on with our voice command but not the machines since they arent smart. But the product is good quality as expected and am about to try their Humidifier next. Definitely would recommend for smart home integration. Gave it 4 because I feel that it should be able to do more than just turn the outlet on.

> 3 dayI’ve tried a lot of Smartplugs and VOCOlinc’s Smartplugs are one of the easiest to connect to their app and Google Assistant and to use and control. I like that I can use them to turn off lamps, iron, hair straighteners, and other items around the house that can use a lot of energy when on / plugged in, but not used, and cause a lot of damage if left on. I like that it’s one of only 2 smartplugs brands that are compatible with the platform of an energy company in California called OhmConnect. So when the grid needs me to use less energy, OhmConnect turns my smartplugs and the devices connected to them off for me. I save energy and OhmConnect pays me for it. Now, I connect my boys’ computers to them to help preserve the battery. We always tell them to unplug their computers after school is over, but they usually forget. Therefore, I’ve scheduled the smartplugs to turn off everyday after school is over and back on in the morning when they start school again. So whether they unplug their computers or not, we’re covered.

> 3 dayI was hesitant to jump into the smart home game, because I knew it was an expensive road, full of maintenance and glitches, or so I thought. At $30 for two smart outlets, I found it very affordable and I decided to give it a try. WOW! Using Homekit, the setup was a breeze! Plug it in, open Homekit app, scan the QR code and there you go! Done! No HUB needed, these work right out of the box using only your phone and wifi. Setup takes 30 seconds. I was expecting a delay when turning lights on and off, but it is instant! Its fast enough you can click it on and off, over and over really fast, like a regular light switch to annoy your friends or family ;) Ive been using these plugs for the last month or so, and they are setup to automation and turn on 1 hour before sunrise, then turn off when we leave the house! Then, they turn on right before sunset and when I jump in bed I just say Goodnight! and they turn off with the siri voice shortcuts! I loved them so much that I bought two more, plus their smart Wi-Fi color changing light bulb. They all work together flawlessly and I can highly recommend these if you are starting out with a smart home.

> 3 dayThese work very dependably once you get them setup, but it took 3 to 5 tries to get them to connect to my WiFi. I bought the 4 pack and three of them about had me pulling my hair out, the last one paired up and worked on the first try. I did a reset on them before setting them up, so that wasnt the problem and there was no real indication of what the actual problem was, they just wouldnt setup until you were ready to throw them away, then suddenly they would work...as if they knew (they are SMART plugs, dont ya know!) that you were about to give up. :) Anyway, once they were setup, they work like a charm! Very dependably you can either use the Apple Home app to switch them on and off, use a motion sensor to switch them on and off and use Siri to turn them on and off. No issues at all once they are setup.

> 3 dayThis is a good switch.. I bought the 2 pack. I really only needed one, but the price was good so I thought Im sure Ill find a use for the second switch. I was attracted to this because of the ability to integrate with homekit. I have an Orbi mesh setup, it broadcasts the same SSID for the 5ghz and 2.4ghz, with no apparent way to temporarily turn off the 5ghz network. The process to setup the switch goes like this on an iPhone. Download the manufacturers app -> click on add device -> You are then bounced to the homekit screen to scan the QR code for the device. Your phone MUST be on the 2.4ghz network for it to work. Thats where my problem was. I solved this by taking a 100ft extension cord and going out into the yard where the 5ghz doesnt reach. With phone connected to the 2.4ghz network (I can verify this by checking in the Orbi app), it had no problem setting up the first switch. I could not get the second one to work. As far as the working switch goes, no problems, works fine after unplugging and plugging back in where it connects to the 2.4ghz network with no issue. Hope this helps you make a decision.

> 3 dayI have not been able to find a smart outlet that is a reasonable price that integrated with HomeKit until I bought these as my last straw before I gave up. Right out of the box, super easy to set up, no error messages like every other plugs, just easy simple and good. I didn’t mention yet either but, I’ve only set them up and connected them once. THEY ALWAYS WORK. You know if you have HomeKit devices it takes like a good three setups after a simple power outage. These connect right back up like it was never not connected. 10/10 recommend!!!
