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.

Disclaimer: I received this item for free from the Vine program I really like this device. It works exactly as advertised. It gives you 4 outlets in place of two. Each of the four outlets can be individually controlled from an app or by voice command from Alexa, Google, or Cortana. Setup is a breeze (especially if you already have other smart devices connected with the Smartlife app). The unit is a glossy white plastic. It is rated for a maximum of 15 Amps or 1875 Watts. It requires a 2.4 GHz wi-fi network for its smart features to work. There is an LED that illuminate for each individual outlet that is active plus a central light that doubles as the setup button and a 6th LED that is always on when the device has power. The LEDs are moderately bright and might be annoying in a bedroom at night. The instructions say to download the Geeni app and to setup the device with that app. I did not have to use the Geeni app as I already had the Smartlife app on my phone and was able to use the Smartlife app to connect to and control the outlet and also to integrate it with Alexa for voice control. Connecting the Geeni outlet extender to the Smartlife app only took about 15 seconds. From that point, going to the Alexa app immediately showed 4 new plug devices that could be controlled. After having had difficulty with a few other Smart switches, it was a pleasant surprise to find a smart device that works exactly as it should. I wholeheartedly recommend this smart outlet.

Perfect to help control multiple items on one plug, allows scheduling for each outlet and provides easy manual control as well.

Works well, integrated easily with Alexa. Took off one star because of the large irritating blue light in the center of the unit which serves no purpose! There is a small blue light at the top of the unit which indicates the power is on. China factory needs to make a small change to have that center light go off after pairing is completed.

Worked at first but now the light just stays blue it wont reset or even work as a standard outlet extender. I love the Geeni smart bulbs but this is terrible and going in the trash

Whos was handy when paired with Alexa, but one power outage fried the unit. Almost made it to one year... Missed it by a week.

This could totally be a user error, but most over the connections on it work, but my salt lamp is also plugged into it and for some reason it Alexa doesn’t respond to that command. My other salt lamp that is on a different connection will work. So a bit frustrating. Otherwise it works

Difficult to add to Genni App I will need to speak to customer support soon, one device will not connect to my internet while the other 2 devices I was able to connect to my internet.. dissatisfied with the product

Exactly what I needed

Easy to set up
