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

I own about fifteen or so of these and they work fine but for one item. I have my stereo in the garage with wired speakers throughout the house. When I want the music on, the plug will turn on the stereo. Later, when the garage is locked and I want the music OFF, the plug will not respond. I have tried three different plugs, they all work well on other lights, etc., but they will NOT turn the music OFF. I have written to various sites, but have not received a single response, even a beats me.

Easy to install. You need to make sure you have access to your 2.4GHz wifi network. Once you do that the setup is through your phone (iphone in my case) where you find the device using their app over bluetooth and then it gets setup as a wifi device. You can then ask Alexa to search for devices. The only thing I will say is make sure you give the sockets sensible names when you set them up as this is how Alexa identifies them. Eg call the TV one “TV”, etc. They have the ability to add timers too so that works well for me as I have things set up on timers.

I used this for outdoor lights that are plugged in indoors. Apparently it’s not recommended for external use. I also used it, rather than smart bulbs, for a lamp with more than one bulb. It works well with Alexa.

Truly Cheapest ones i found in Amazon and close to 5 star reviews with so many satisfied customers according reviews. So when i was looking for smart plugs, I jumped on these. I purchased all together 16 of them. It has been almost a month. Enough time to be familiar with them. All the plugs were used in different remote locations and for different devices to be turned on off remotely and used with schedules and smart groupings. Many began to fail. For example, One just did not work after a 3 weeks of working and many effort went it to it to figure out why it was not working (Amazon tech service were consulted as well). Final conclusion for this one was that it Just failed and did not work even though it was giving all the right indications that it was working ( switch lights indications, and from smart life app). Other failing issues are, failing Erratically from scheduled times I have set ( not come on of fail to turn of at scheduled off time) and just fail to connect ( dropped from wifi network) and becomes ‘off line’. I would not mined so much if all the failing devices are located near by where i just go and reset them but most of them are off sights and hours away so until I am there, I could not do anything ( not knowing if it is on ? Or off? That is not good). One issue is that it is odd is that three of the smart plugs are using same net work of wifi close to each other and always same two fails and drops from the net work and becomes ‘off line’. So this is situation, out of 16 i got, 5 of them gives me this problem of offline where i just can not control from Smart life app so they become useless till I go to reset ( but fails again in couple of day and must wait till i get there again to reset them) . About the scheduling failure, i am not so much in concern Right Now since as long as i can turn them on or off remotely, i can live with it. So I have 6 that fails of of 16 and these ones i am in process of returning for a full refund before 30 days of return period guide line from Amazon (after that i am to contact directly to manufacture since it was sold, according to amazon, there after). Smart plugs are very convenient if they work. So i am going to try different brands that works better. Once I find them, my intention is to retune all to this manufacturer. I hope I am not the only one having these problems. It can not be. 6 failed smart plugs out of 16 is like over 35% failure rate which means since it comes 4 outlet in a box, at least one should be defective ( from 30 days of trial. Who know how long these switches will last before they all fail...). Other brands i am looking at right now regardless of the prices are gosund ( amazon certified) and wyze ( I have 11 cameras and am happy with) brand. Good luck

I have two lamps, exactly the same. I turned both on then plugged each of them from the wall into a socket. The sockets were both paired, indicating ON status in the app, with the ON lights indicated... but only one lamp was lit. I unplugged both from the sockets and into the wall then both lamps worked as expected. Therefore one socket was non functional. :( EDIT: I received a replacement and it works well EDIT: it is now 5 months later and one completely stopped working.... these things are junk.

Works as expected, easy to link after downloading app, used it on Xmas tree and it was set to auto shut off at 10 pm, worked perfect every night, But this product, you will like it

If you look closely, you can see the plug starting to melt! I kept smelling something and couldnt figure out where it was coming from. I had my electric fireplace plugged into a power strip. The fireplace finally just turn off. I found out where the smell was coming from. The app told me I was offline. Be careful not to use a power strip or smart plug to run your fireplace.

easy to install and use...

After 45 minutes, Im sad to report that SmartLife should be the app you use to bring it into Alexa. Do not use the printed instructions. Do not do anything but use SmartLife. Once its connected, works perfectly!

I like that you can put these on a schedule. I got them for my aquarium lights
