Greater than one weekBought 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.

> 3 dayI received these smart plugs from Vont as a product tester and found them to work very well. I installed the Vont Home app on my Android phone, which easily discovered and added the two devices. I then linked the smart plugs to both Alexa and Google Home and found these apps to be a very simple way to control the switches. Here are what I found to be the smart plugs pros and cons... Pros: • Very simple and fast to discover and pair with Vont Home app and to integrate with Alexa & Google Home. • Two plugs fit nicely onto one standard outlet (see pic). • Blue LED indicator may be enabled/disabled in Vont Home app, which is nice for rooms where these LEDs could be distraction or cause of insomnia. • Solid, heavy feel. • Higher 15 amp max is great for higher draw items such as heaters (see pic) or dumb coffee makers -- I connected an old coffee maker to one of these plugs and made an Alexa skill where saying Alexa, make coffee! would start my coffee maker on demand, and Alexa, Im cold! would turn on my heater. • Very fair/low price in my opinion. Cons: • The Vont Home app still needs refining (which Vont is doing) to make it easier and more clear to use. While it was easy to discover & add the plugs, the apps shortcomings are mainly small things like the color difference between on and off switch is gray vs. slightly darker gray (see pic) instead of green vs. red, for example. Setting up timers with Vont Home is a bit clunky. With the simple Alexa or Google Home integration I honestly dont see any need to use the Vont Home app once the plugs are set up. I highly recommend these plugs, and thank Vont for giving me the opportunity to test them.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayIts 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!!!!

Greater than one weekI received these smart plugs and put them to use right away to control the yard lights and my dogs water filter bowl. The packaging on these was clean and easy to open. Inside the box was a scratcher for a possible prize. Using the app to setup was easy as it discovered them right away. I was also able to connect with Alexa and google home with no issues. So far all has been good and have not had any issues. I almost forget that they are there since I no longer have to manually turn things off/on. Vont has come a long way with quality products which I own quite a few now.

> 3 dayThese were much easier to set up than previous home plugs I’ve purchased! We have a covered porch with an outdoor lighted tree that I’ve used with the first one. So easy to have Alexa operate it for me. The second is my bedroom light. This is perfect. Just tell Alexa to turn it on and off! Making me lazy using these! All I need to do is use my voice! I’m planning on ordering more for other lights and a cabinet I want to light up without having to always plug it in! Great purchase !!

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayReally enjoying my new Vont Smart Plugs, which are an improvement over the first generation of smart plugs I have used. Those earlier smart plugs were bigger and took up both slots of a home electrical wall outlet. Worked fine but too big. These Vont smart plugs are small enough so that each takes up only a single slot. I’m thankful that they were so easy to set up with the app, almost automatic. And so totally effective and convenient, to tell Alexa my on/off commands. Easy, also, to move around the house as needed. One of my new plugs operates a tall floor lamp that I programmed to come on and off by a set schedule each day, and that works as intended. Gonna need more of these…
