Smart plug worked fine dor a few days. Then it began cycling power to all four outlets: ON-OFF-ON.... Updated May 15, 22: Continued testing, attempting to narrow down the fault. Was it WiFi interence, a bad extension cable or what? None of the above. The gadget still fails after an ever shorter period of time on. This strongly suggest an overheating problem due to failed internal device or inadequate engineering. FWIW, Im looking for alternative vendors.

Lost connection all the time, and its not easy to connect again. Its a waste of time and money

The first Alexa peripheral I got was a smart plug, and I liked it so much I bout several more. I like having control over lights without having to walk over to turn a switch. So when I had the opportunity to review this product. I jumped at it because it allowed for 4 circuits to be controlled in a single device. But now that it is here, I am struggling to figure out where I will use it. The benefit of the single socket devices is that they control only the device attached to it. These tend to be lamps in my household, so there are few places where I have 4 lamps plugged into the same outlet without using extension cords. I tried using it in my garage, where I thought I could control a couple of task lights plus a radio. Alas, my radio loses the station it was playing when poser is removed; so I’ll have to find a “dumber” radio for this to work. Right now, I’m still trying to find a place where 4 Alexa functions are consolidated into one physical space. So you should carefully consider what 4 functions you want to control, and whether they all could plug into the same location, before you choose a product like this.

The unit works well with Google. I appreciate that each outlet is controlled separately. Gives so much function to the system, along with home automation. The one issue is that it only fits conventional outlets. It will not fit a gfci with out modification and double sided tape. All and all very happy with the purchase.

4 outlets plus voice control. Use it to turn on/off the Christmas tree.
