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

I received this smart plug in on a promotional period so I thought “what the heck, I’ll give it a whirl”. I love this thing! My basement only has light switches on one end so I have to walk all the way back over in the dark if I turn the lights off to leave. Now…I have a lamp attached to the smart outlet and Alexa turns the lights on and off for me so I don’t fall in the dark!! I definitely need a few more of these!!

This was so easy to install and it only took a couple of minutes to set up the routine so I only have to say Alexa lights on or Alexa lights off to turn the lamps on and off. I can also use the Alexa app on my phone and turn the lights on before I go in the house. I feel much safer this way. I love it!

Basically it works like a dream. Its easy to use. The only thing that youre not going to get with this particular product is being able to use it with Google. If you want to use anything with Google you want to get get something that uses Google or can be synced with Google because you can sync Google with Alexa. Just not Alexa with Google so its a one-way street with that. Otherwise its great. Really good product. I use it and if you have any issues where its not really connecting or its not responding sometimes reassuring a voice command can be good to do. You need to also double check your Wi-Fi signal strength. A little bit of issue with that myself fixed it and it works real well.

No problem setting it up

Simple to pair, works great!

It’s perfect if you have Alexa. Very easy to install

These are about the fourth brand that Ive used, and the best. I had Wemos, which were very fussy and hard to install (the QR code you have to scan is on the side of the plug that faces the wall!! What engineer thought that that was a good idea??). Wemos also required their own app, and there was always a conflict between the Wemo app and Apple Home. On the other hand, these Amazon brand work seamlessly, you just plug them in and almost before you can open the Alexa app to name them they are live and ready to go. The only downside is that they are about 3x as expensive as other, no-name brands. If you need a lot you might wait until they go on sale.

Didnt have a use for this when I bought it, it came for free with the Echo Dot. I ended up using it for the Christmas tree, and it was so nice being able to turn it off and on with my voice, given that the power chord was in the corner behind the tree.

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.

so ez even 77 yr old can hook up(I am and I did)also makes much easier to use
