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

First Ive tried for 2 days to get it set up. Thinking all I had to do was plug it and install the app. In Bluetooth i keep getting an error either app is needed to be used on device which i have installed it. Than i go to the app and it says device has been bound by others. I dont have no idea what that means. Well I decided to dig further in the little box and under the plugs i find 2 cards. And what do I find on one of the cards a FLIPPIN BUGGER!!! WHO DOES CRAP LIKE THIS? I mean I have many choice words I really want to use right now. Not being able to connect it and finding this I really wanna send it back. My kids dont even do crap like this. And no none of my kids got to the package b4 me. I opened the package it came with other stuff so it was boxed and inside another box. Im lost for words like really.

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

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.

Overall, this product looks great and works well. My only complaints have to do with the companion app and the Alexa interaction. The Vont App is clunky and should make it easier for something to run on a schedule. You can either do an on or off time and then a timer until the next shift. It could be more streamlined for sure. I do appreciate the setting to turn off the status light that not every plug I have interreacted with has as an option. Getting it connected with the Alexa app was a little tricky since I had to get the Vont skill to help it see the existing device, but that is really on the Alexa app.

These work once they’re set up, but it took awhile to figure out how to get Alexa to recognize them. Annoying, but fine once they connect.

The design of this smart plug is really beautiful. Easy to install and use. But definitely be careful when plugging with a higher-power electric appliance or multiple appliances. It could burn out if used inappropriately.

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.

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

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.

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.
