Aoycocr Alexa Smart Plugs - Mini Bluetooth WIFI Smart Socket Switch Works With Alexa Echo Google Home, Remote Control Smart Outlet with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL/FCC Listed 4 Pack

This stay at home order got me thinking of ways to improve our home. I already have Google Home and smart led lights around the house, but I decided to take it a bit further and try to automate other stuff like electric fans, rice cooker, and other appliances. This product seems to be an inexpensive solution for my project. I wasn’t disappointed. The packaging is plain and simple with minimal branding. It contains 4 smart sockets and the user guide. I like the white finish on this product as it blends well with our walls and sockets. It feels very sturdy and durable. At first, I tried to directly setup the sockets using Google Home, but unlike other products, it looks like there is no direct way but to use the Smart Life app. I tried setting up the sockets using the wall socket close to my wifi router. The Smart Life app setup wizard was quick, and I got all the 4 sockets connected to my wifi in 5 minutes. Then I just linked the Smart Life app to my Google Home app and there I am now able to control everything from one app. Voice command works fine, I have labeled the sockets to correspond to the appliance connected to it for easy voice commands. I connected an exhaust fan to one socket and setup schedules to turn on and off, and it works well. So far, I am very happy with my purchase. Inexpensive smart solution that works very well. Highly recommended.

I bought two sets of these. While they are quite easy to setup, the Wifi module has a tendency to go bad. 4 of the 8 have failed in less than a year. This is independent of any load through the AC portion. Plan on replacing them fairly regularly.

I love that I can set and control this socket from my phone. When I come home, the house is lit up and looks great.

I bought 4 & 1 failed after a year & the company replaced it free. Two thumbs up.

I bought a four-pack of these smart plugs last year and after deploying them, I got a second set recently. Easy to add. I would note that one of the first 4 failed after about a year of usage, so I cannot rate the longevity at this point.

Works as intended. Kept failing when trying to use my 5GHz wifi. Switched to 2.4GHz and connected fine. I assume it isnt compatible with the 5GHz frequency.

After many try’s to hook up to WiFi, I finally have hooked them up as smart socket and smart socket 2. It’s nice to control lights or whatever you want by using IPhone.

The set up is a little annoying. You have to use the manufacturers app, then you have to have the Alexa app. It is straight forward enough, but seriously, we should be at the point, where I should be able to just tell Alexa to add a new device, right? And there is one more random fact, which is that the plug can only be voice activated from one of your Alexa devices. Why? Who knows. But it is cool to be able to turn on a light from the app. Very cool.

This will be the third time I buy these. I’m kind of hooked into the app and the routines and it has really been working and helping a lot. One of them died, but I’m glad it stopped in the off position. I do need another one in that spot so I’m going to purchase a few more. They are 99.9% reliable to stay online. The one that was dying first started to go off-line. I guess that would be a signal that one’s about to fail. Not everything lasts forever. I’ve been using these heavily for quite a few months.

Great value for the money. It works 100% of the time, no issues whatsoever. It was very easy to set up, too. Now I can turn my big fan on (that is a regular fan with no remote, just has a little dial for high/medium/low) with my voice, using Alexa! Its great when I wake up and Im feeling hot or cold. I dont have to go over and manually turn the fan on/off. I just say, Alexa, turn the big fan on when Im hot or Alexa, turn the big fan off when Im cold, and roll back over and go back to sleep. Its also nice like when I get a phone call or something, I can turn the fan off so the person on the phone can hear me better, etc. But this plug will work with literally anything that can be left on and already be on when you plug it in. It wont work for something like a microwave where you have to manually turn it on, obviously. But yeah, works great and Ive literally never had a problem with it. Highly recommended!
