Found the PERFECT use for my Vont Smart Plug to fix an old dilemma!!! Super stoked! So Ive managed a community center for the last 18 years and when we have programs with 50+ participants, we bust out the old 48-cup coffee percolator. This thing does not have any buttons nor on/off switches. You just plug it in to the outlet and it starts heating up. My issue with it is that it takes approximately 35-45 minutes to brew a whole pot and whenever we started a program at center right at opening time (usually 8am), it meant that I would have to get to work at least half-hour before opening time, on top of my 40-minute commute to work. Now, I can simply either put it on a schedule or manually turn smart plug on with the app before I leave home for work and by the time I get to work, coffee is brewed and ready to be enjoyed by our program participants! It really is the simple things in life that brings me joy and the Vont Smart Plug is one of my favorite simple things that brings a smile to my face! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

I had to watch some YouTube videos on how to use them then figure it out on my own. Had they come with directions at all I probably would give 5 stars. It was very difficult to learn . You have to set them under what is called ‘rules’ as well. I hope this helps someone. Once I figured it out I LOVE them.

Update : The customer service representative decided these were defective. They decided to send me the new replacement. I hope the new ones will work great as the company gives the lifetime warranty. I wanted vacation plug so it can turn on and off automatically without any app controls. But this one, whenever its automatically shut down, you need to turn the electricity back on from the app. Useless.

I have two of these outlets controlling the lights on two different aquariums. They work great. I have had a few issues with them not turning on but the tech support is very quick to respond and get everything working as it should.

So far I’ve only used it for turning lights on and off upon entering and leaving a room. Looking forward to using it to control holiday lights.

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.

I wish I could give this five stars, it was so nice turning all my outdoor Christmas lights from my phone. No more running outside plugging in extension cords or taking a handful of remotes to turn on and off. My only problem is the timer on the App, can they make it anymore complicated! It would be nice if they would update the App to auto on time and auto off time,

The plugs come in a minimal amount of packaging. I appreciate that the packaging is recyclable and minimal. The plugs are easy to install. I setup Vont Home in moments, and then adding the plugs, including discovery was super smooth. If youre putting this on a two plug wall outlet this will only take one plug. Thats nice. The one oddity was that scheduling the device to turn off everyday at a certain time, and then turn on at a certain time is not under schedule, but instead under rules. Not a big deal, I found it quickly and once I did it was really easy. Id expect a future version of the firmware to either change this or to include a note under the scheduling section. I have a few smart plugs and assuming this lasts well I would recommend getting this one.

After a bit of fumbling with getting the app installed and the plugs synched everything has gone smoothly. Im very happy with these and will certainly purchase from Vont when I want to expand the smart functionality in my home.
