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

I bought these plugs for my grow lights so I can keep my indoor plants on a light schedule. Integrating the plugs to Alexa was pretty straightforward but what I noticed was that the lights would turn on and off 50% of the time when the plugs were put on a schedule. I end up checking my phone every day to make sure that the lights are actually on or off. I bought the plugs to make my life more convenient but it seems to be doing the opposite.

I love being able to have an easy, low profile physical switch in an outlet. And the additional smart function and ability to turn on / off the unit from my phone is amazing. The ability to have a schedule for an outlet has changed my life for the better. Very happy with this two pack. The packaging of this product is protective, clever, and sleek. honestly the best I’ve seen for any consumer electronics.

alexa integration, easy to install or easy to use

I had wondered for some time about smart plugs but hesitated to try them out. First off, the setup was quite simple followed the instructions on the card that came in the package of smart plugs to download the Vont Home app to my phone. Then the app took me through the instructions to setup the smart plug and also to link the plug to Alexa. Now able to control the on/off of the light over my recliner through any of my Alexa controlled units. Great fun.

I have used a number of other Vont products, and I tried the Vont Plug. In brief, it does what it is supposed to do well, and easily. Typically I use it with Alexa, and it makes it very simple to use. My only critique is the app could use a little more polishing for ease of use when activating the device from the app itself. However, set up via the app was smooth and uneventful. Overall, the value of this device for the cost is great, and I recommend it without reservation.

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.

After a couple of days of messing around with it and uninstalling and reinstalling the app (plus many other steps) I was able to figure out kinda how it works. It shouldnt be this hard for someone who is actually not technically illiterate. I like the concept and was really hoping this was going to be a plug and play device with easy app maneuverability. I had my wife set-up the second one on her phone and she had the same problems I did. Just had to make sure it wasnt me.

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.

The plugs work as expected and are easy to setup and connect with Alexa.

First of all, I was reimbursed for the purchase price of this product in return for my feedback to Vonts beta test program. That said, Im really pleased with these smart plugs. The packaging was nicely done and is completely recyclable. The basic instructions the switches came with were all that was needed to get them up and running (after you download the Vont app to your phone or tablet). Setup, including adding the switches to my Google Home Assistant, took fewer than five minutes for both plugs, and they worked right off the bat. Now, Im looking for other places to use more of them. Id wholeheartedly recommend this product for anyone looking for a smart plug, and I plan to purchase more soon.
