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

These seem to be a good value and were easy to set up. They have worked flawlessly for the few days I have had them. I do not use Alexa but control them with the iOS app, which also includes voice control. I noticed a lag in response when using voice control but only a few seconds delay. I will be interested to see how these work after a power outage, and how long they will last. The app could use a bit of polish and documentation is spotty, but the devices were easy and fast to set up and use.

So far so good. Setup was a snap, took less than 15 minutes to get two units up and running. Using these to control TVs used for digital signage at a school -- created a schedule for the desired hours and so far is working exactly as expected. The ability to set up once only sessions or simply turn on/off on demand -- even from a remote location -- is great for the times when theres an event outside regular school hours when the display being on would be nice. UPDATE 1/30/18 -- both units have started to operate on the schedules programmed. Connectivity is not an issue as the unit can be toggled on/off readily. But after multiple days of systems staying on overnight we need to find a more reliable solution.

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.

Waited 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.

Set up was very simple. -1star for requiring you to set up an additional app. -1 star for not allowing you to utilize the switch as well. I wanted to use this for our bedroom lights (lamps) which plug in to an outlet controlled by a switch. I understand that the unit obviously couldnt work if the switch is off, but Id like to be able to come into the room and flip the switch to turn them on. Instead when you flip the switch the lights stay off, then you have to wait about 10 seconds and ask Alexa to turn on the lights. Kind of obnoxious. I wanted to be able to flip them on with the switch, then after rading in bed or something be able to turn them off via voice control. The base setting on this outlet when it receives power is off, whereas if it were on or setting adjustable this unit would be great.

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

I got these for Christmas and really didnt get what to do with them. We put one on our fan in the bedroom and programmed it to go on before bed and off after we get up. I use the other one on my straightener since I often forget to turn it off. I installed the app on my phone so I can check remotely and turn it off it I find I have left it on. Now that I have them I can think of lots of uses for them.

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.

I used WeMo for 6 years and hated its slow sluggish response. The WeMo app is a piece of crap where it constantly freezes and fails to find devices. WeMo device themselves drops wifi connection aggressively. This new smart plug immediately connected to the wifi in 3 seconds and was ready in 4 seconds. WeMo took me 5 minutes to setup where this took 7 seconds max. I installed the app login and adding new device just took me 7 seconds. Warning there are lots of fake ones with the same name and the QR codes takes you to the wrong one. You are looking for Smart Life app. Then in Alaxa app I added the Skills called Smart Life from Alaxa skills market. Then after 20 seconds the linking was done. After scan it was all ready and connected. Both with the Android app and with Alaxa training on and off is 8 times faster then WeMo. Sooooooooo happy I bought this. Small, fast, and cheap.

Works pretty food but sometimes you have to readd it to your phone cause it looses connection to the app
