CMARS Smart Plug, ZigBee Switch Mini Smart Outlet Works with ST, Alexa, Echo (4th gen) Echo Plus (2nd) Google Home, Works as a Range Extender, Hub Required （2 Pack）

Good-looking product, but my Alexus hub isnt new enough to be able to recognize these plugs.

I’m got these for use with a SmartThings hub and found that they were so easy to pair. Plug them into the outlet and they will immediately be discoverable in the SmartThjngs app where they can be setup with one click and you’re done. They work exactly as advertised and are much cheaper than competitors (often half the price). I’ve used several other brands and these paired easier than any including SmartThings own outlets and they are just as responsive when manually controlled from the app or as part of an automation. The only downside I see is the indicator light is fairly bright. I use one in a bedroom and it throws a bright glow in a darkened room. I used a bit of electrical tape to cover the light and problem solved. I highly recommend these and I’m looking for something else to automate so I have an excuse to buy more!

Not sure why they dont mention Hue compatibility but they pair no problem.

I use these plugs with my Hubitat smart home hub, connected immediately, works perfectly to control a circulation fan i have setup in my bedroom, and strengthen my zigbee network.

I 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.

I connected these to SmartThings for some easy automation. I know the specs are posted and they are accurate but I was hoping these were a little more low profile than they actually are. So far, no issues with connectivity nor function. I would recommend these as a cheaper alternative to replacing an outlet and definitely for those that can’t wire a switch or outlet themselves.

Still a bit too large for 2 in a single outlet. Cheap. fast. and work. always detect in my Hubitat and never a problem. I now run 8 of them. Update - Annoying development is that I used one in my bedroom. the LED is so bright as to make it painful to sleepy eyes. The driver/software does NOT allow the LED to be disabled - use of 3rd party led covers (Tinted film or Electrical Tape) is the only option. I have removed 1 full star due to this problem.

After receiving the items I found that they didnt connect properly to Smartthings. I contacted the seller and they immediately responded. They apologized and sent me an updated version which works perfectly with Smartthings. I would not hesitate doing business with CMARS again. Great people to deal with.

Bought a pair of these on Prime Day. Only took about a minute each to set up in the Alexa app. They work great and I will likely buy more of these very soon.

Im using these with Home Assistant with the ZHA integration using a flashed Sonoff zigbee bridge and also tested them with the Conbee II/Deconz integration. The deconz recognized them automatically and added them. They work as routers/repeaters and so far Ive had no problems controlling them.
