Vont Smart Plug [1 Pack] Alexa Smart Plugs, WiFi + Bluetooth, No Hub Required, Smart Home, Google Home & IFTTT, Voice Command, Timer & Schedules, Control Anywhere, Vacation Mode, ETL & FCC Certified

Setting up with Alexa will not work directly…you need the Vont app. Set up should be able to be done direct. Why do I need yet another app just for plugs? When I already “supposedly” have one? Over all…not too bad though. The app does work when you get it set up. Be sure to check your router speeds! It must be compatible with 2.5gb you may need to call your provider and have them activate the 2.5 band. If you use extenders, the same applies…it must support the band.

We live in a fairly wet climate during spring and winter and our sump pump has been running non-stop. Because our pump doesn’t allow for adjusting when it turn on, it was running non-stop as soon as a few inches of water filled the well, causing our back yard to be a swamp b/c it never had time to dry before more water pumped out. By adding this plug, we have a lot more control over when it pumps out the reservoir and we can give our yard a chance to dry up! Simple setup and easy use through the app.

I bought this plug for its vacation mode. I wanted a lamp to randomly turn on and off to make it look like someone is home. This plug does randomly turn on and off when in vacation mode; however, the period is around an hour. Last month my house was burglarized. The burglar waited in his car in front of my house for 15 minutes, looking for activity, before breaking in. No burglar is going to wait outside a house an hour looking for activity. This vacation mode needs a period around 10 minutes to be useful. The Schedule mode only allows one on and one off time setting, so this doesnt meet my needs either. Update: after I posted this, Vont contacted me and told me they were going to add this feature to their product, but told me it may take a while. Gotta love that customer support, so I updated my rating 2 stars.

Bought these so I could remotely activate my laser cutter, fans, lights, and water pump which is 200’ from my desktop. Walking back and forth to turn the laser on to send it a file was becoming a real hassle. These worked perfectly. Set up was a breeze, securing them to only my account and updating the firmware went flawlessly. Absolutely recommend.

Works great although app can use a design upgrade it can be a little confusing when setting up schedules. Would definitely buy again if needed.

I received a pair of the smart plugs as a beta tester. Ive used another brand for a couple of years. It seems to not have a sunrise/sunset option in the app. I do like that if the AC power drops out, the light does not come on when power is restored. Overall, they have been working as expected for several months. Very happy with them.

Packaging was small and instructions clear and easy. Setup and installation was a literal breeze and start to finish couldnt have been more then 10 mins. I have always wanted to make the leap and purchase some smart plugs and now I am left to wonder what took me so long! Price is perfect for two. Such a modern day convenience that everyone should try out.

Overall the Alexa enable Vont plug is super easy, youll need to create a Vont account to link to the Alexa platform, then you can control on / off functionality, set timers, and specified on / off times for anything plugged into the smart plug.

I own a whole lot of Vont products: Smart Scale, Smart wifi Strip lights, kitchen scale, solar outdoor lawn automatic lights, smart light bulb, bright led flash lights, rechargeable bicycle front and rear lights, and the super useful headlamps for any DIY task in the dark. All the Vont products I own are still going strong and they never disappoint. One time my strip lights won’t connect to the wifi, thus command via Alexa won’t work. Vont looked into it right away and sent me a replacement brand new strip lights even though they determined that the fault was on their server side. They fixed the issue minutes after and sent me another one to keep.

This is the second set I’ve bought. They’re great for controlling vanity lights, lamps and accent lights. Easy to use with Alexa.
