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

Cell

I was able to connect my iPhone, however my son’s Samsung couldn’t detect the apparatus. I just changed my Wi-Fi provider and half the time my device reads that it’s offline.

2 out of the 4 pack stopped working after 5 months of use. Started clicking on/off and won’t stop until unplugged.

I Use these on several things around the house for automation. These cost less than clock style timers and offer way more flexibility in setup. Ive had some of these for over a year and had zero issues with any of them. I will definitely buy these again

It works great.

Bought 4. 2 are dead after ~ 2 years.

Have been trying to connect but its impossible. There is even some clicking noise on one if them. Afraid it will create a short.

Cons: It uses its own app. So you have to have the app for this device as well as your Google home or Alexa app. It doesnt just connect through the Alexa app like smart lightbulbs do. Once you connect it to its app you can add it as a device to Google home. Also, you cant set up the timer within Google home. You have to do it on the app this product comes with. Of course you can create a workaround routine to do it within Google home but its kind of convoluted to create a time on time off routine that way. I didnt have any issues with the smart home app it came with, but it looked cheap so I was really worried itd have issues. The shape could be improved upon. If it is plugged into a 6-plug outlet converter, it will make the inputs to both sides of it unusable. Im sure there is some way to shape this so that there isnt that problem. Pros: Clicking sound! gosh I love it! When it turns on, you hear a loud click. First it kind of scared me, because the sound is a little reminiscent of an electrical problem in the outlet, but its just to let you know the outlet has gone on or off. That is my favorite thing about this. I use it to control my space heater, so I feel safe when I tell Google to turn it off and I hear the click sound. This was also the cheapest smart outlet I could find on amazon. It stays connected and synced to Google Home 100% of the time as far as I can tell, which is impressive to me- even the most expensive Smart Bulbs will sometimes lose connection.

These are great and easy to setup/use. I have a pair of bug zappers and hooked them up in the bedroom and kitchen. Now when I see a bug buzzing around I just tell Alexa to turn on my bug zappers Alexa shields up! and zap! you plug them in, load their app, and its pretty straightforward from there. You hold the button down for 5 or 7 seconds to reset until it blinks then turn on your phone blue tooth for the app to detect and configure for your wifi network. Then link to Alexa and setup your routines. Note Amazon sent me a pack of used ones but since I could reset them and they seem to be working fine these past weeks that I did not knock any stars off as its Amazon and not the manufacturers fault, plus I hate wasting working products just because they are used but still look new (though it wouldnt hurt for amazon to knock a few dollars off). I do recommend this product if you are looking to control power for outlet devices that remain on.

This is my second Aoycocr WiFi plug. The first one gave me zero issues and I needed a second one so I choose to buy it again. I used one for my Christmas tree and the other for the outside Christmas lights. I choose evening and morning schedules plus names for them using the Smart Life app. I even installed the Smart Life app on the wifes phone so she could turn on the lights whenever she wanted. Everything worked flawlessly. I used this plug outside tucked under an eve for my Christmas lights. I worried moisture would be an issue but it was fine. Im already using the Smart Life app for WiFi lights throughout my house and the plugs fit right in with the line up. If you unplug it from the wall it goes offline until you plug it back in. Reconnect time is just a few seconds. I do have access to Alexa using my Fire Stick so I set that up as well. The grandkids had fun turning lights on/off with the remote. Great plug and simple to use.
