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

Simple easy packaging and bit of difficulty getting to work with my Alexa and Google Home. I own a couple of different brands of smart plugs and Vont is pretty good.. 4-Stars!!

I have not used these smart plugs too much since receiving them, but have used them primarily to turn on a humidifier and run it for 2 hours in our bedroom before we go to bed. Scheduling was easy to setup and the humidifier turned on then off at the correct times. I have not used the Alexa integration yet. Overall, I would recommend these smart plugs as they are easy to use.

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.

These smart plugs are smarter than me!

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.

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.

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.

PSA there’s only one plug in a ‘pack’, it’s a bit misleading. But very hnady and app is great

Constant struggles using app and device connection. Nowhere near worth the hassle!

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!!!
