Wifi Smart Plug Set of 2 Mini Smart Outlet Compatible with Alexa Remote Control By Smart Phone from Anywhere Anytime (2 Packs)

Original: Seems to be working in its own app, and as a group under the Wink skill. I will bump up to five stars if it keeps working. Note that this is not a dimmer. It is relay controlled, and it makes quite a loud click when it turns off and on. Nothing too bad, but just know you wont be able to control your light brightness with this. Update: Lights are kicking off and back on every so many minutes. It lasts about 1/2 second. You can tell by the light flicker, and the loud clicking of the relay. Down one star to 3. I will return. Update 12/28: I have learned to live with these plugs. The light turning off and back on had something to do with the apps timer function. Both now work reliably. My only complaint is they do not dim (yes, I knew they did not dim when I purchased them, but its still a negative), and that they are quite loud when they switch. Update 4/11/18: Inadvertent off/on problem returned. It just flashes off for a second every 10-15 minutes, and you can hear the relay click from the next room. Do not recommend this product. There are far better and less expensive options out there.

From 1 star to 4 stars: I have spent countless hours trying to make these useless dumb plugs work with either Alexa or my iPhone. Cannot connect to either. Tiny instructions that are unreadable. The app is no help whatsoever. What a frustrating waste of time and money. The other reviews stating easy setup must be fake. The only one I believe states it took twenty hours. Returning to Amazon ASAP. Update Im not a person who accepts defeat so I didnt returned the plugs to Amazon. I couldnt make the setup work with the Smart Life app. I tried for days without success. On YouTube I discovered that I can use the Tuya app. BINGO!!! The plugs linked easily to my iPhone and Alexa. The plugs work fine.

These are great, easy to set up and work well. Only problem I see is that they are typical Chinese made products. The plug holes arent tight for the electronic you plug into it, so theres risk it will come out or fall out from being too loose. Which is why I gave these 4 stars rather than 5. Other than that I love them! Especially because they are priced a lot better than others on the market...

Edit 11/11/17: Downgraded to 3 stars after having used these for some time. I still like it, and think its still value for money considering the other products out there. The issue Im having is its glitchy. Sometimes goes offline for no reason, requiring me to unplug and replug. And the timer function is only about 80% reliable- sometimes plain does not turn on. Have not identified any trends, its a cr@pshoot- some day lights turn on and some days they done. And often unplugging and replugging rectifies it for a few weeks. The Alexa function and phone control seem to be reliable so long as plug is online- but I wouldnt trust the timer for vital systems. Original post: Frankly, Im blown away and one part of me is still waiting for something to fail but it hasnt yet. Cheap, small, simple device with quick set up. Just plug it in, download the app to phone, connect the two and youre good to go. The app allows for basic functions like timer etc; scenes that can be triggered by sunset/sunrise, humidity etc- but have not experimented with these functions yet. Once you assign a name for each plug, works seamlessly with Alexa. And for less than 30 bucks for two, seems like a bargain compared to the other branded ones. Instruction manual wasnt helpful, with the usual bad English, but its not hard to figure out. Bought a 2nd set.

As long as you can follow directions, this product works well. When integrating this with Amazon Echo devices, it does take a few steps to set these up. However, once set up, they are excellent.

I waited a long time for these, but they were worth the wait!!! I am a low tech person and I managed to get them set up and linked to Alexa. They work great. I am enjoying using voice commands to turn things on and off.

They frequently fall off my network and have to be manually reset. Can be challenging when plugged into outlet located behind furniture. Work great when they are connected. Not so fun when I have to go through and reprogram 8 outlets.

I have six of these now and absolutely love them, they work with Echo, are super easy to set a timer and look good. I do wish they were slightly smaller in size because they make using the other outlet impossible unless it is a normal plug. So for example, I can not plug in an iphone charger in the other outlet.

We love these! All I️ wanted was for all of my Christmas lights to turn on at the same time and this is It. We got them in the mail, my husband plugged them in a set up a “network” for all Christmas lights and viola! No worries about not being home. Also, I️ can turn them on early from my phone!!!!

Im giving a pretty high review because I easily set up both of these using the default approach, and the price is good for the feature set. I downloaded the Smart Life app on iOS, created an account (yes, it requires your phone number...Im not too troubled by that). I had one problem giving my full Wifi SSID password, it was too long to enter into the Smart Life app on iOS. So I attached these to my guest network which has a shorter password (and probably a good idea anyway). If not for this one problem I might give a 5-star review. There was also a backup connection approach which makes these their own temporary WiFi AP (a lot of devices do this as an alternative connection means). I did not need to use that, as the plan A approach worked fine for me. I renamed each of these to a good straightforward name and enabled the Alexa Smart Life smart home skill, and discovered the devices. All of this worked flawlessly and I can use the app or Alexa to control these. The Smart Life skill also supports IFTTT for the more advanced home automation tinkerers. My only concern, I guess, is that these require a cloud platform to stay running for them to continue to work - and that means ongoing costs. If the company ever decides to shut this down, these no longer function. Although made in China my two units both connect to EC2 instances in US-West-2 on the MQTT port. You can easily check this by checking your local router to find the assigned IP, then search in the list of open ports what target IP and port they connect to, and then run a whois to find ownership of the related IP block. Anyway, Im counting on these staying operative but I guess there is no guarantee. EDIT: Ive been using these for many months and theyre still great.
