> 3 dayWaited to hook up all four and watch for a few days and so, great! App for IOS is easy as can be. I need to experiment and see what happens in a power loss before we go away. A question was emailed me by Amazon before these arrived. CAN THEY FIT WITH ANOTHER PLUG? I ordered these because they appeared to allow room for the other outlet. This turned out to be true, only a larger head plug like the angled ones on some surge protectors do not allow both to fit. Anyway, Ill update this if plugs fail but so far they look like an excellent investment. Dont try to read the skimpy instructions, just scan the code with the phones you want to program and its pretty intuitive (for iPhone, at least) from there. the program looks like it can consolidate smart feature programming and makes it easy to review current schedules by day of week.

> 3 dayThese little guys are simple, but great :) got them for our Christmas tree, but weve continued using them with a lamp and some leftover Christmas lights we have up. Theyre easy to use with the Smart Life app, and I even hooked up some easy shortcuts with IFTTT, including the ability to have them turn on when I get home! Definitely recommend these

> 3 dayI gave this a 1 star when I first received it because the instructions were not helpful. The app would not let me register. Finally I found how to do it on the internet. So now give it a 4 if instructions were better a 5 Go to Tuya manual for the best way to register.

> 3 dayDoes not seem to reconnect to wi-fi if it drops for whatever reason like my smart switch does (different manufacturer). After I disabled my 5GHz wifi to only 2.4GHz, (no big deal for speed) the app loaded fine otherwise would just crash on my Android 8.0 Pixel 2. Had to dig into the Google Home app but I do have it paired up with it. Going to get at least one light switch as well.

> 3 dayOverall Its a good product but after a few months one of the two plugs died. I still have 1 plug and it still works as intended after 2 years

> 3 dayThese units are basic problem is you cannot schedule them like other smart plugs

> 3 dayReally great to have and use however, within a week one failed. Couldve been that the heater it was attached too was over the current rating? I have another Jina of remote plug (outdoor version) that has no problem with a heater.

> 3 dayThey cost much less and work just as easy as others on the market. No need to spend a ton of money on other brands.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWorks OK so far, but this device worries me from a security point of view. Cheap but scary. I disabled all the Android Smart Life apps permissions in Settings->Apps after configuring the device. Why did the app literally need every permission known to man on my Android phone to simply configure the device? What REALLY worries me is the amount of data the device moves to/from The Cloud---constantly. Is it eavesdropping on my local LAN traffic? Or, is it a Trojan Horse waiting for instructions from hackers lurking in the shadows in another country? Over the last 7 days the device downloaded 18 Mbytes and uploaded 135 MBytes of data (see photo)! More than a bit worrisome. The rate has slowed down to ~120 Kbyte/6 MBytes down/up per 24 hour period over the last few days, but what possibly can be going on? I dont want a rogue IOT device in my house participating in botnet shenanigans!
