WiOn 50055 Indoor Wi-Fi Plug-In USB Wall Tap; 1 Grounded Outlet; 2 USB Ports

I bought this years ago and was able to do the setup without issues. It worked fine. Every once in a while will have an issue with the app but seems like they have been doing some improvements on it. A couple of weeks ago got a new router so had to reconnect this and my other WiOn switches. Was not able to connect them to my Wifi at the time. It looked like they were not supported anymore so I unplugged them. Today was looking online and decided to give them a try. They connected pretty easy. Actually the setup was much easier than what I recall originally. Not sure what has changed from a month ago to today. The app seems to be working better than before. It worked so well that I went ahead and bought a couple more since they are a lot cheaper now than when I originally bought them back in 2016.

Own over a dozen of these. Work great. Android app could do with updates and additional interfaces, like Alexa.

This switch does exactly what it says.. and no more... Ive got a Vera home automation setup, AND an Amazon Alexa and I assumed Id be able to integrate it with at least one of those, but it turns out, I cannot.. That being said, it was REALLY easy to setup, and so far, its worked 100% reliably. I havent tried to access it from outside my home network, but Ive got it configured to control my christmas tree lights, and it does it quite well, while giving me a local button to override and turn on/off manually, and/or by my iPhone.. Im reserving the one star for the inability to integrate with ANYTHING apparently, but in reality, thats probably not fair, since it never claimed to... I just figured these days, most smart home devices can integrate with SOMETHING over either Zwave or Wifi, and theres no excuse not to support that functionality on this device.. It would be really cool if you could trigger it based on other sensors and events on my other home automation systems.. Maybe someday it will come, or Ill find out by reverse engineering what packet I need to send to control it with my own code..

Works first time and everytime. Works well with Alexa, too.

I decided to buy 2 different types, this wion and also the ihome plug. As another reviewer said, if you expect various intermitent power outages, when the power of back up, the wion DOES NOT RECONNECT to be controlled from distance, where the ihome does not seem to have a problem. To solve this problem, in the last 2 months, I press the sent debugging email button in the app, and 80% of the time, it reconnects, making me believe there is some human manual adjustment. When I put a note for the company that their ihome competitor does not have that problem and to let me know if they plan to solve this glitch, they gave me nonsense explanations totally discarding that the ihome works through their excuses. Too bad wion, this time the debugging email I sent you it did not reconnect my wion but it threw me in the reset connect new device screen and I am not about to drive 40 miles to reconnect it, I WILL INSTEAD RETURN IT!, too bad because your app seems to be more intuitive than ihomes amd the hardware seems fine, its on the software end were your denial exists! Bye!

Hi all with connection issues. Use you 2.4ghz wifi to connect this device. 2.4 gets out farther. Not a lot of data so 5ghz is not necessary. I have several of these devices and work fine indoors and out. One is even mounted inside a metal timer box!

Fantastic wifi outlet. Great features and a very nice USB functionality. I like the fact that the USB ports stay on all the time and are not wifi operated. I have set the timer function on this and it makes for easy lighting in case we forget to turn on our lamp in the living room in the evening. I also enjoy the away features the timer offers. You can set this to come on a randomized times while on vacation or for security purposes on a day to day basis. Can have multiple smartphones connected to the app to control the outlet as well. Highly recommend this product!

I purchased more than one manufacturer of wifi outlets and Wion was one of the purchases. It was the only one that would not connect to WIFI unless I gave access to my PC remotely to a WION tech person. No thank you. I sent it back. The other wireless outlets connected with my wifi easily and without any tech help. Just follow the instructions on your phone as you go along. Not wion. Wion gives you weird queries like reboot your Wion app Enter your WLAN to connect to your wifi? What is a WLAN? Is it my SSID? Is it my wifi name? I hate going to GOOGLE to figure this out. Luckily I had the other wifi outlets to use which did not ask me to do weird things or have a tech enter my PC remotely!

Bought this to control three small lights - two that are USB, and one with a standard plug. I wanted the device to control all three power outlets on the same schedule. The USB outlets are not affected by the timer, and the standard outlet never worked at all. So none of my requirements were met. Also, while setting up, I was very uncomfortable providing my router log on information and etc. I will probably unplug this and throw it in the trash.
