Wyze Plug, 2.4GHz WiFi Smart Plug, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, No Hub Required, Four-Pack, White

These Wyze plugs are unreliable rubbish. Dont waste your time. When you actually use them to turn on and off a light, within a week or less of use turning on a small table lamp with an LED bulb, I have had all 4 plugs fail that I purchased. That is an amazing 100% failure rate within 1 week! One of the 4 plugs could never update the firmware and never operated. The other 3 initialized and worked great for a few days. Here is the failure pattern, after they appear to work great on day 1: First there is latency in the plug turning on/off when controlled with the app. Then it sometimes would not respond at all to the on/off control of the app. Then the plug lost its ability to connect to the network. (Mind you, the network never moved and it was fine when the plug was set up and operated for a few days.) After it lost the ability to connect, it tried for hours to connect to the network, blinking a blue light. The device then got warm. This failure process could happen within 24 hours, or within a few days. No power on/off or factory resets or anything revived it. Wyze tech support had no useful information. Lets face it - who needs a plug with this bad of reliability? You need these things to work reliable when you are not home babysitting/plugsitting them! Wyze has clearly put in very low-cost communications circuitry that fails. In contrast, we have 7 Wyze cameras that are working *so far*. They are outside and are connected to the identical network that the plugs could not connect to, even they are much farther away. Wyze must put very cheap circuitry in their plugs and better circuitry in their cams. I was going to buy their switch, but I fear that they have the same terrible technology as the plug. We also own some WEMO plugs. They perform far better, and we will go back to that manufacturer. The WEMO software is awful, but at least the hardware works. The Wyze hardware has a stunning failure rate.

Great price. Great functionality. Get one today! Easy to setup and use. You can use the app to create routines to schedule outlet on/off, etc. Also can trigger the outlet on from other Wyze sensor devices, etc. We have several of these and they have consistently worked great.

I have grown a bit disheartened by Wyze Products. It seems that they frequently lose connection or require updates when you simply want them to do their jobs. Still, these do work well, with only minor irritation.

Good value for the money. Anywhere in the world I can turn on and off I have them set up on timers and use them for heat lamps. Every once in awhile they glitxh and will not come on. A simple unplug and plug back in fixes the issues

Works great, I can control them from anywhere with alexa

These plugs work great. I bought four and three worked great. Had a problem with one but customer support took care and sent me a new one. I use them for lighting all over the house. Especially like the schedule feature. Very powerful and flexible.

It wont work with the core 300 it powers on but core 300 wont resume .

These things are great, as are most Wyze products, and priced right. A must have for holiday lighting. Set times for lights to come on and forget about them. If you need to turn them on or off manually, they can be controlled in the app.

Update to my original review - upgraded from 1 to 3 stars. Some of the recent firmware updates have improved the reliability of these smart plugs. I now have a total of 6 Wyze plugs. Been unable to purchase the Eufy ones that work well. Only had to reset / re-pair 2 of them in the last 3 months. Maybe by the end of the year, they wont be such a hassle to use. Still wont use them in hard to reach scenarios. ------------------------------------ We are a Wyze household and have been for many years. A lot of Wyze Cam V2, all of the V2 sensor addons, V3 cameras, Pan Camera, Robot Vaccuums. I basically needed to have a different WiFi network for all these devices. I purchased 4 Wyze Smart Plugs. They all setup easily and worked fine out of the box. Paired with the app and Alexa integration works. They operated as advertised. I was careful to make sure that I am not using them to connect any high wattage devices. Why the 1 star? These smart plugs lose their configuration regularly and randomly. All 4 smart plus have lost their configuration randomly over the last couple of months. Each time this happens and the most inopportune time (and you only know when something has failed to trigger or you may notice this on the Wyze app that the device is disconnected), you need to basically remove the device and do the setup thing all over again. 4 devices / 10 re-setups in less than 3 months. Pretty much makes these unusable. Coincidentally, I also have 6 Eufy and 4 TP-Link smart plugs on the same network connected during this time. The Eufy smart plugs were setup I think 3 years ago, the TP-Link ones over 2.5 years ago. Never had to do anything for those after initial setup. The Wyze smart plugs were kept updated (firmware wise) and had less electrical load than the other brands. I couldnt recommend these Wyze smart plugs given their finicky / random loss of configuration. Technically they work when the hold their configuration, but what if I installed these to control devices that were inconvenient to get to? What if I actually needed them to actually work over a long period of time?

Works exactly as expected. Works well with Google Home (most of the time) and Wyze app and Wyze automation.
