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

Smart sockets are known to burn out the relay contacts over time. Less expensive units are more prone to this. We will see how long these hold up.

These plugs are great, I used them with all my Christmas things including my tree, I set everything on the timer to turn on and off every day, normally I had to go to each thing to turn on and off, been using past two years, I use them for anything that I have even after Christmas

Out of four, three work perfect.

I open a store and this has instantly changed my life. No more ladders to plug store lights

These are PERFECT for our Christmas tree lights. The cords are plugged in behind the couch and moving the couch every time is a pain in the butt! and Rather than having to remember to shut them off or turn them on, or leaving them on all the time, I set the timer and BOOM! I have one on each of my christmas trees and I have them programed separate. Easy set up! Why didnt I do this sooner!?!?

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

I’ve been used these sockets for many years already. This time I decided to add a few sockets, but received defective. Seller’s support immediately sent be a replacement and now it works well! As of the device itself, if it’s not defective, no issues so far! I’ll certainly buy it again!

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

This Ayococr Smart Socket is one of a small army of essentially similar products coming from overseas, all built on the Tuya Smart IoT (Internet of Things) platform. Setup is essentially identical to any of the other similar, no-name products sold on Amazon. A download link is provided for the Smart Life app, in the form of a QR code on the product box, and in the included instructions. I cant speak to the Android version of the app, but the iOS version works well, and is highly rated. The Smart Life app performs the initial setup of the Smart Plug, to get it on your 2.4 GHz WiFi, and provides remote turn on/off. In the case of this device, the Quick Mode setup did not work, but the fallback AP Mode configuration was completely effective. Once this one-time setup is complete, Smart Life provides on/off status, and provides myriad timer on/off functions. Alexa integration requires additional steps, to install the Smart Life skill, and configure Alexa to control the Smart Plug. Instructions for this are also included. Once the initial setup is completed, the unit functions as expected with the greater Alexa ecosystem. Altogether, being a two-app process, setup is disjointed, compared to the Amazon Smart Plug, but unlike the Amazon product, provides multi-platform support (Google and IFTTT). I have lamps plugged into mine, and setup to respond to Alexa, turn on/off the bedroom/family room/living room lights which works flawlessly. Interestingly, the product itself does not have the ETL certification mark called out in the product description, but does have legitimate FCC and RoHS marks. The product itself is attractively packaged, and has good fit and finish, particularly for the price point. It is also more compact than many competitors; this plug can be used in a standard duplex outlet without blocking the other socket. Given I can buy a four-pack of these for about the same price as a single Amazon plug, and get the same final result, its a great buy. Update: Based on my previous experience with this product, purchased in August 2019, I ordered another one of these in February, 2020. In contrast to my earlier experience, this time, I was able to successfully configure the new unit via the Quick Mode setup. Also, unlike the units I received last summer, the new one has an ETL regulatory mark on it. Quick web searches confirm the ETL and FCC marks are genuine. Given how many low cost electronics of Chinese origin are lacking such regulatory approval markings entirely, or have obviously falsified markings, this inspires a much greater degree of confidence that this product is well made and safe.

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.
