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

I bought these as a gift for a friend. When I tried to set them up, I found that his Spectrum-installed router had assigned the exact same name to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. for some reason, the band selected always defaults to the 5GHz. I was unable to find a way around the issue. I kept them, and they work perfectly on 2.4GHz at my home.

One of them flickers on and off repetitively but the other one has worked flawlessly. Maybe theyre just too cheaply made and it was dropped during shipment but one them didnt suffer as much.

Makes turning lights and fans on and off more high tech. Can be difficult to establish connection. Make sure your not on 5G and it should work the first time. This is my second purchase of these gadgets. I’ll get more I’m sure.

Just watch you tube videos to install. I just plugged in my Christmas lights and connected it to my google home hub. Now I can tell my hub when to turn on and off my Christmas lights.

I have 4 of these in my house right now. Love them!!! Some people said they could t get them connected, but i had no issue with 3 of them. The other one I learned why it wouldn’t connect. My new router sends out a reg signal and a 5g signal. It won’t connect to 5g, but is fine now. Have had them going for a month now with no issues. So freakin great!!!

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.

Worked great for about six weeks. Now...they are rather sporadic. They connect with Alexa only when they want and connect with my cell phone in the same manner, only when they wish to do so.

These units are fine so long as you have uninterrupted power. But when the power goes off and on again, these units have to be manually reset. The problem seems to be that if the WiFi router isnt up and running when these units are powered on, they will simply hang until you manually reset them ... sort of defeats the purpose of a smart home when the devices are so idiotic.

Works well with a wall lamp. But doesnt turn on any appliance that has an on off switch. It wont turn on the appliance without manual intervention. It will turn off or on the wall socket it is plugged into. Also, seems to have a power limit. When plugged into an appliance that draws some serious wattage, it turns itself off.
