WiOn 50050 Indoor WiFi Plug With 1 Grounded Outlet; White

I purchased 14 of these over 3 years through Amazon. Recently the APP seems to have stopped working and some existing devices have dropped off my network. Tried to connect 2 new out of the box devices and they wont connect to a network. They wont even enter the set up screen in the APP. Not sure if Woods is out of business or what is going on but when I reset devices already connected to my network, they wont reconnect and cant be set up to talk to a network. Very disappointing after investing hundreds of dollars.

Worth the money. Have had these in use for several years. We use them to control heaters in small equipment sheds without having to leave the house. These are indoor units. We also have two outdoor units to control heaters in our work trailers. We had one go out so we had to purchase a new one. Bought this set of two so we have a back-up. Will buy again and again.

Had several of these and they worked great. Got 2 more and couldnt get them to work, after an hour troubleshooting with different iPhones and different IOS, I found they wont work with the newest IOS. So now I have a second phone with an old IOS version just to operate the lights. Support has known about the issue but have no ETA on a fix date. From the app revisions this app is hardly updated. So now Im switching to another brand. I will keep the ones I have and maybe in a year the issue will get fixed and I can give them to someone.

The picture in the listing shows two outlet adapters but there is just one in the box.

I’ve used these for several years and they used to be great I’d give them 5 stars except the app doesn’t work with iOS 16, devices installed before iOS 16 will work but you cannot edit them or add additional devices. Woods WiOn has not announce a fix for this problem that I can find. If you don’t want to wait for the update or try KASA I have their light switches which work nice but not as versatile as the WiOn. ** WiOn now has the app working with iOS 16.

This product works well. I have about 8 of them. The 2 improvements I would like to see both involve the app (Android). First when you aetup more devices according the device you is a bit too cumbersome. 2nd I wish the scheduler would let you just set individual on and off times rather than in pairs. This would make mixing astronomical and program (time) based easier. For example I want a schedule to start 15 before sunset and turn off at 11 pm. This requires creating 2 schedules, on that tunes off the switch 16 mins before sunset then on at 15 mins before sunset. A second schedule to turn the outlet on at 10:59 then off at 11:00.

Love the wifi aspect. I have it attached to the re-circulation pump for my hot water heater. since my week days are consistent, I set up a daily schedule that turns on the re-circulation pump so that I have hot water at the shower when I get up in the mornings. No more waiting 10 minutes for the water to get hot. And since it is wifi enabled, on the nights that I get home late and want a hot shower, I can activate the pump before I get home so hot water is ready to go. It saves me wasting water.

I added this one to existing two that I have for couple years. They works great without wifi dropping or disconnect. I would buy another WiOn if I need to. Great switch that can be programed, controlled remotely on the phone app for smart home!

These work really well. The set up instructions are simple to follow but the technology will not work first try. You will need a lot of patience to get it to work. If it seems to be more trouble to set up than it’s worth, hang in there. You’ll have to repeat the same steps over and over and over. Then wait. Their technology takes a while to catch up with your prompts. It will finally work. Once it’s set up, it works extremely well. The app is easy to use once set up.

Price was cheap but got what I paid for. Directions leave a lot to be desired. Had to add yet another app. I can only get to work when on same router, not remotely. Never could get it to work with Alexa. I think it needs a separate app or something. Quit trying.
