> 24 hourIts an all-or-nothing kind of device. While two of the outlets are not remote controlled, the controllable outlets only work as one control unit. Have four things that youd like to monitor, (de)activate or schedule independently? Thats a shame because its all or nothing. Want to integrate with a home-control system? If youve bought into Alexa, youre fine. Want to use something else? Not so much. Given the price (this is anywhere from 15-200% the price of other devices) and and features (seriously, no per-outlet controls??) of competing products, this thing as a flaming piece of garbage. Really, youre better off buying a $3 power-strip from the bargain bin of your local big-box store and connecting it to the wall through one of the cheapie, single-outlet. Probably going to give this thing away to someone whos likely to be less dissatisfied by it.

> 24 hourI bought the power strip model for my grow box, but will be returning it ASAP. The unit has turned itself off twice already leaving my plants sitting in the dark when they should be on their flowering schedule. It’s also disappointing you can’t control the outlets individually.

> 24 hourWe have two of these to turn on a remote PC at the office. They are great, but security stinks. There is absolutely no way to change the account password. Not only that, there is no way to contact the maker. No email, no snail mail, and no phone number. Dont start with this companys food chain unless you are absolutely certain that you will have no problems with either the hardware or the app.

> 24 hourI bought this to control lighting and fan ventilation on a timer for a heavily planted terrarium, and I really wanted to like it. I was getting tired of constantly turning on and off the lights, not to mention frequently forgetting to do it on time (resulting in a wide range of photoperiods from day to day, not good for plant growth). This worked great the first couple days, but then it started turning itself off at random times, anywhere from 3-10 pm (I have it set to shut off at 11 pm every day). Id turn it back on from the app, and the next time I checked (maybe an hour later), it had already turned itself off again. This has been happening every single day since the issue first started. In fact, using this outlet strip is probably more work than when I was turning the lights on and off myself manually. Ive deleted the daily timer program I set up and added it back again thinking that might help, but Im going to return it, its just way too unreliable. Its almost like its using random mode even though Ive set it up to use timer mode. The app also looks (and functions) like it was designed by a high school student... its terrible. TL;DR: zero stars, dont buy it

> 24 hourThis thing is a massive failure in my opinion. First, you only get 4 plugs that operate as a group. So all 4 shut off and on at the same time. Secondly, there is no way to reset the thing. If you happen to change WiFi, or even delete the device from your app, there is no coming back. I read somewhere that you have to completely take the device apart to reset it. Seriously? Now I have a device that I cannot access, which shuts off all plugs at 8pm. Wow. Junk. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on the TP-Link plug. Its amazing.

> 24 hourWorks ok. Make sure to have a strong signal to one wireless router because the device can only be assigned to one router. There is no automation API support. The company is secretive about it. Has limited purpose.
