Amazon Smart Plug, for home automation, Works with Alexa - A Certified for Humans Device

Through no fault of the product, I use it less than expected. I have it set on a light which I use every few days, thats it, nothing special. At the sale price its worth the convivence of not needing to move to and manually turn on the light.

I plan to get a few more of these. You can set up your lights to go on and off whenever you like.

I have bigger exercise equipment (treadmill, stepper ...) I put on these so that my great nieces and nephews cannot turn them on (get power to them) without asking my echo or alexa devices. Safety first! I also use them for lights.

I love my smart-plugs. It was easy to set-up and super convenient. All it takes is a verbal command to Alexa to turn on and off my lights in the morning and at bedtime. I can also use my mobile Alexa app on my cellphone to turn on or off from anywhere.

Works great

Easy to use with Alexa, and even easier to set up!

Love being able to control things with my voice. Recommend.

I had a few WeMo smart plugs before ordering these. First of all, I HATED the app because adding a plug was so cumbersome. Plus, one of the plugs never did show up on the app so I couldnt really control it. It was in a room upstairs and I thought it must have been out of range of my WiFi router. I do not have a WiFi extender and almost bought one due to this issue. Had to send those plugs back. I was excited to see Amazon was coming out with their own smart plugs and pre-ordered them right away. Controlling everything through one app is way preferable. As a huge bonus, my upstairs plug that I previously could not control with the WeMo plug and app now works flawlessly with the Amazon plug and Alexa app. I guess it wasnt out of range after all. Pros: 1. if youre already tied into the Amazon Alexa ecosystem this just makes sense, and you keep things under control with a single app. And easily controlled with your Echo device if you wish. 2. Really easy to add a plug via the Alexa app. Alexa will recognize it right away and you just scan the back of the plug to add it. 3. Shorter and less bulky than the WeMo plug. 4. Smart plugs that may have been non-responsive on my network before are working flawlessly now with the Amazon plug in use instead. Cons: 1. A bit pricey. I wish they offered multi-packs for a lower price per unit. This will probably happen later. 2. Adding a plug to operate on an on/off schedule was NOT as easy as with WeMo. It took too many steps, was not straightforward, and should be more streamlined. Basically, youre creating what they call a routine. You have to add a start time. Then go back and do it all over again to add an end time. So I had to create two routines to get my coffee maker to start on weekdays at 6:45am and turn off on weekdays at 7:45am. That was silly. I did eventually figure it out, but they should really work on making it involve less steps and be more intuitive. I will buy more but will wait until the price comes down or theyre on sale.

This is great to be able to turn a light on after dark.

Easy to install along with downloading Alexa. Bought two for when I am out of town, but I still use it when I am at home. Totally satisfied. Wished I had bought them sooner!
