Geeni Smart Wi-Fi 4 Outlet Plug with Surge Protection, – No Hub Required – Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, White – 1-Pack

I have several Geenie products now and love them. App is easy to use for setup and routines. This plug allows multiple things to be plugged in with different routines and no bulky smart plug that eliminates an outlet

This brand was fantastic, but its reliability is really bad, and their warranty department is worse. In less than a year 2 of the 5 Geeni products just stopped working, and when submitting the claim, the company has chosen to ignore them, cant get them to honor it. So 40% failure rate, no other segment of products has that dismal rate. No matter how easy to install and to manage (which I love), but if it doesnt work all this is pointless.

purchased as a stocking stuffer for my parents. They loved it up until the point it lost connection and wont reconnect now. lasted four months. total junk

Either this is poorly designed, or it has failed already. I have two LED lamps plugged into it. They draw about 10W each. The unit constantly restarts/resets, which makes the lights flip off then back on. There is absolutely no reason why a 20W load should cause this. I dont have a space heater or four huge incandescent bulbs plugged in, its two LEDs. Its shameful, and doesnt hold up to the standard of other Geeni products.

This plug is pretty straightforward. It’s easy to install and operate and offers a great option for hard to reach plugs and cords. I purchased this for a basement project and I’ve been satisfied with its performance and reliability so far. The setup was super easy. I purposely chose this Geeni brand model due to my other smart appliances and lights operating under the same application. I wanted something that could integrate easily with the other appliances and reduce the amount of apps I’d have to utilize in the process. Amazon integration was fairly easy as well. It seems to work pretty well when the Alexa app itself performs as requested. There are pretty limited functions with each outlet other than a timer and schedule option. When initially purchasing this, I was hoping for was an option to dim lights. After labeling the plug as a light in the Alexa app, I assumed it would assign different properties to the selected outlet, but nothing really changed other than the icon, and maybe the analytics regarding energy usage and performance. In the end, I purchased a smart dimmer that is connected to the Geeni Smart plug, which now allows me to dim the lights. This plug serves its purpose and I’m overall happy with the purchase.

Surge protector worked well but did not survive a blackout which made it inoperable.

The 4 smart outlet plug is a great idea, the unit is well executed, shiny surface, plenty of indicator lights. But in my case, and I hope at least one reader will learn from my mistakes, it was a painful journey. Luckily I read the reviews, especially the Vine reviews which tend to be full of helpful information, usually not found in the manuals/link from this third party sellers. A bit of plug for Vine program, but I believe in it. See following. Initially one review said to follow the manual, but others said that one can stay with SmartLife and there is no need for another app. It is TRUE. My painful journey started with reading step two about the flashing light. I was waiting for the top small light to flash. It never did, in spite of all my presses on the middle button. The only thing I succeed to was to break the glue which held the middle button and end up with a useless device. To prevent that end, I took it apart, removed the PCB and epoxied the middle push bottom to the two tiny posts, and reassembled. Seeing that the middle button flashes, I used that as the indication and proceeded with SmartLife addition. It worked flawlessly, and a second later Alexa took over automatically adding the 4 outlets and the whole units for a total of 5 controllable (smart) units in my home. I hope this long review helps people in making the correct informed decision regarding the product, and help in overcoming poor documentation as well. Feel free to let me know if this is helpful or comment why this review is not adding value. That should improve my reviewing for the future, helping the community.

I use these smart switches for the kids so I dont have to worry about them leaving something on. Out of all my smart switches. Geeni was the best brand Ive used so I purchased this 4 outlet one to get rid of the crappy smart switches. So about 2 weeks in, using this outlet, my kids complain that this is turning off and on. Which it was so I figured it was detective or over heating so I ordered a replacement. THE REPLACEMENT IS DOING THE SAME THING OUT OF THE BOX WHILE IM SETTING IT UP. Also noticed scratches like this had been used already. Pass on this. Shame on you Geeni.

It would be nice if it would allow more than 6 characters for information for the 4 on off buttons but overall the functionality so far has met my expectations. Adding schedules are easy and the timing is pretty precise for on and off. If you only have a single duplex outlet this is a inexpensive way to expand you capacity. I don’t use with Alexa she listens to much about everything.

Is very easy to use and at the same time very useful for hands free use
