Greater than one weekBought these simply as repeaters for Zigbee network, under Hubitat. Inclusion was easy, and once I had installed the dedicated user driver (thank you Youtube), theyve been working flawlessly since. These smart plugs are well designed, look great and have a solid feel about them. For the price, theyre a bargain. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for zigbee repeaters / extenders and / or smart plugs.

> 3 dayI wouldnt purchase these, as I had several of them fail in the last few weeks that I was using to control mesh nodes in my home network. They either completely failed in the off position, or randomly rebooted my equipment, with nothing in the logs. Hardware issues. Avoid these if you want any semblance of reliability. These were manually triggered only a few times in 12 months.

> 3 dayApril 2021 - When I received the plugs, they were a different brand, and didnt work with SmartThings. Oddly, they came with a card that referenced to reach out to CMARS for support, but CMARS confirmed these were NOT their plugs. ---- May 2021 - CMARS offered to replace the fake plugs (branded Gosund) with the correct CMARS plugs, and apologized for the inconvenience (which was Amazons fault as the fulfiller, not CMARS). Well, the new plugs came, and they work a treat. Right out of the box, theyre as simple to set up with SmartThings as I could hope for. 30-seconds from out of the box, to controlling my lamp with ST. Definitely recommend buying from CMARS if you want good service.

> 3 dayThe two CMARS Smart Plugs were exactly what was needed. I was pleasantly surprised how easily they paired with the Echo Studio I was using. I had expected a little more troubleshooting than I experienced. I use one to power my home entertainment system power strip so I do not need to turn off the light, TV, and system separately. I just use a voice command on my Echo Studio. Edit: One has since broken after owning them for about two months. When it works, its great. But having such a short lifespan is concerning. The one thing still outstanding is longevity. I plan to use one for more active use of on and off than another. In theory they should be last the same amount of time but I will update if the more used one faces issues sooner than later. Edit v2: Both are now non-functioning and useless. I admit that using them in conjunction with an extension cable may have been the issue but there were no warning that I noticed that spoke against it. Be warned they may die early.

> 3 dayI bought a bunch of different versions that claimed to work with Samsung Smartthings. They either didnt work or required an additional intermediary app. These ones however, worked perfect with Smartthings.

> 3 dayI am pleased with these. In short, they just work. These were nearly plug and play. Just set your Alexa or hub to discover, insert the plug in the receptacle, and its done. I used these for Christmas lighting and they were responsive, dependable and exactly what I needed. I will order again if more are needed.
