Energy Monitoring Dual Socket Smart Plugs That Work with Alexa Google Home Siri, Wireless 2.4G WiFi Outlet Controlled by Smart Life Tuya Smartthings, 10A Mini Socket Enchufe Inteligente with Timer

Update: I finally got this to work using the Smart Life app after I read some other reviews. The instructions in the box clearly stated AvatarControls app, which looks similar. I had to create yet another account and give out my email again but it worked. Im bumping up to 2 stars from 1 because setup was very difficult. Original: Wont pair with app so I have to return. (Yes I have a 2.4 GHz wireless.) Since it wouldnt work with the Avatar Controls app, I looked for an Alexa skill to see if I could just get the Alexa App to discover it but there is neither a skill nor any integration to do it that way either.

I see a lot of positive reviews and about 10% of us who have no luck at all. I am assuming the problem is with the brand of router or the build of this device. I only paid $26 for a pack of 4 so I will just throw them away and buy more of the other brand that actually does work.

I have several around my home for my lights to go on and off at specified times. They are linked to Alexa which is handy for voice control. I can also control them with my phone when I am not home.

Thumbs up

These have been a wonderful addition to our smart home ecosystem, especially if Smart Life app is one of your platforms for adding miscellaneous smart control devices. Easy to install, always works when needed, easily works with both Google and Alexa environments. They have worked perfectly, (especially with the automation and on a timer) to help control our hot water circulation pump, tea pot, and misc lamps.

I purchased this product in order to control from my phone or Alexa device a space heater and grow lights in a small walk in greenhouse. Overnight when there is not sun to warm the greenhouse the temps inside fall so I leave a space heater running overnight. Sadly, this product would work perfectly if it stayed connected to the WiFi. It does not. It randomly disconnects and only reconnects if manually connected via my phone and even then, it only stays connected for 5-10 minutes before shutting down again.

They take up too much space on plug in units where i have to use other adapters for additional hook ups plus only able to use 1 at a time for each wall outlet!

Installed these using the instructions and the smart life app. Have had them for about two years now and still working fine. They are slim so they can easily be put behind many different types of furniture. They can be added to Alexa to go along with voice commands.

Plugs work really well with Alexa. Only real downside is that they are a little to big, and cover up the other socket on the wall. Ill be returning these and picking up some rectangular ones.

Set up took seconds and they work great! My only issue is that they are larger than anticipated and plugging anything else into the same outlet either is a Squeeze or just won’t fit. But all and all they work amazing and I can’t wait to use it for my Christmas tree.
