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

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.

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

TLDR (long version below): About the only thing I could get to work right on these plugs was the manual on and off switch. Everything on the app never worked right. The scheduling function never worked basically at all (it would actually randomly switch my lamp on in the middle of the night, waking me up) and while I got the on and off switches on the app to eventually work, it took a while. I contacted their support about my issues and never heard back. Should’ve just bought a switch timer. Long version: I got these plugs because I was looking for something I could easily schedule to turn my lamp on and my fan off in the mornings to help wake me up and get me out of bed. These were not it. They were easy to setup; the main problem came with the app. When I first went to pair the plugs, the app had trouble finding my wifi. Then the plug software needed to update. That took forever (they say you can go off the page when it’s updating but that just ended up stopping the update). Finally, when that was done I went to go turn the plugs on and off on my app. Nothing. I tried unplugging, resetting, etc. Still nothing. The manual switch on them was still working fine, but turning them on and off manually defeats the whole purpose of getting these. Finally I just went to sleep. Tried them the next day. They finally worked, but only if I tried turning them on and off 2-4 times. Since time fixed the problem before, I thought maybe it might fix the problem now. Maybe the new software is causing an issue or something. I gave them a week and during that time looked at their FAQ and around the internet. I didn’t find anything helpful. Finally, the plugs were turning on and off reliably via my app. Now to set up a schedule on the app (the whole reason I got these). Didn’t work. Okay, I’ll give it some time. A few days later, my lamp was turning on and off. In the middle of the night. Randomly. I kept getting woken up from the hours of 1-4AM, when it was supposed to be turning on at 5:30AM. I checked time zones, did troubleshooting, etc. Did the same thing with my fan, which wasn’t turning off at any point despite the lamp and fan being set to turn on at the same time. The scheduling function just didn’t work. Turned the schedule off on my lamp so I could get some sleep, but kept it on for my fan just to see what would happen. A few days later it started to occasionally turn off when it was supposed to, and about a week after that it started to actually obey the schedule most of them time. The lamp was still a lost cause though. I also sent a help ticket in about my plugs since especially the lamp was still acting up and the many hours I had spent researching fixes for these problems had yielded nothing. They said I should get contacted within 24 hours about the issue. I never got contacted. I waited until my return window almost closed just in case they had a backlog and needed extra time. Nope. Ended up returning the plugs.

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.

I am using this product for remote restart of many devices, like modem, router, saving me many tedious trips to the attic. It can also used to stop charging of phones, turning off lights, etc. Great product and easy to configure.

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.

Its wonderful piece of technology. No longer do I have to turn on 2 bedroom lights every night. Just tell Alexa 3 words Alexa lights on Its so much easier. Be aware, its not easy to connect to Alexa. I almost returned it. The app would not except info from my autofill. Enter all info manually!!!!

Love this is a single plug size and doesnt block other plugs. Easy to set up and easy to use. The in app schedule and timer are a bit lacking. You can only create one schedule for on or off but not both. Its a bit odd. I ended up using alexa to schedule it with routines.

Bought two of these when I really only needed one but it was so much fun setting it up I immediately used the other one. Easy integration with Alexa great product.

Christmas is here and it worked perfect for my tree... You can schedule it makes it perfect. Or control it from your phone .
