Won’t hook into iphone

I’m updating my review. Previously, I thought these were great but it hasn’t even been a year and they don’t connect and time out all the time on the app. Do not recommend.

The executive overview: DO like: Theyre really cheap and they work great after theyre set up. DONT like: The setup process is convoluted. Also you have to give an email address during setup. The documentation that is included with the device is outdated and shows an old version of the Google Home app. The app has had significant changes since the documentation was made so the UI path is different. If you have a mixed mode wifi access point (2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time with the same SSID) or your AP is only 5GHz, youll need to purchase and set up a seperate wifi access point for these plugs. Also I dont know what the other reviewers are talking about when they mention charging their phones via these plugs because they do not have USB ports. I suspect that the merchant ninja swapped the product and description on this product listing to a newer model without the charging port.

I had no idea what I was buying but my son, who picked it out, loves it and wants another one too

These integrate into the Smart Life App and Alexa pretty easily. This is especially true if this isnt your first purchase that uses the Smart Life app... Of the 4 1 gave me a little issue pairing but it still worked on try 3. For these stypes of devices thats not uncommon to need to attemt to pair things several times. It is very responsive to command and the energy use meter is accurate. I would recommend these if you need a lot of smart plugs without wanting to but them one by one. Just my thoughts, AK

So far, I cant say enough positive things about these plugs! The app is professional looking and responsive, although a bit convoluted. But Its easy enough to figure out. The star of the show are the plugs which connected easily with minimal steps. Ive only deployed one so far and after it connected Ive been a able to switch it on and off with an obvious button on the app and almost no latency, not that that would be a big deal anyway. Basically, it just works. So far. So far, I couldnt be happier!

Like it

Works like a champ. No complaints at all. The app is simple to connect and if the power goes out or its unplugged it still remembers everything just fine

Bought this so we can turn a space heater on from bed when it’s cold without having to turn on the house furnace so we can just warm up the bathroom when we shower we love it it’s so convenient

Never worked
