Geeni Surge 6-Outlet Smart Extension Cord, Surge Protector and Cord Extender, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Requires 2.4 GHz WiFi, 3 Feet

The Geeni wifi controlled outlet is just about as useless as all the other wifi enabled outlets on this cursed app (Im looking at you Gosund). Dont know why I bothered with this one. Yes, it has 6 individually controllable outlets, but that doesnt matter when it CANT EVEN CONNECT TO THE APP. The first time I plugged it in out of the box it was smooth sailing. Unplugged it and tried again, then all of a sudden it cant connect at all. The app will find the device, but thats as far as itll get. I know its not a problem with my wifi either since it can connect to it. When using the on-board wifi to connect in slow mode, itll connect, but boy good luck staying connected as it IMMEDIATELY boots you off. Also when trying to connect in slow or fast mode the device randomly turns on and off, even switching pairing modes which probably isnt helping. Whyd I unplug it in the first place? Because the schedule system in it is absolutely ABYSSMAL. At first, only one of the outlets was turning off and on as scheduled. The other outlets would turn on as scheduled, but would NEVER turn off as scheduled. Eventually, BOTH wouldnt turn on or off on time. This is why I unplugged it, so I could maybe reset and connect to it. Well, you already know how it went trying to reconnect (surprise! it wouldnt). Stay clear and read the RECENT reviews. All the consistently good reviews were from 2-3 years ago. I cant return it as I threw away the original packaging since I THOUGHT my problems were solved. In fact, save yourself the time and money and just forego any wifi outlets in general. Buy yourself a manual outlet timer if you really need it. This thing is now reduced to being a $30, regular outlet with no wifi controlled capabilities.

OK, its a nice multi-outlet device. My gripes are Google does not have a web-based version of home, so you absolutely need to use a smartphone or tablet to control the power strip. For most people, not a problem at all, but I sure would love to use a simple web interface, so I can VPN in and control via my LAN, or control from my Linux or Windows desktop PC in the office. You can also use the Geeni app, but again, no html version, app (ios or Android only) Im sure alexa and siri behave similarly, shame. Only other thing would be independent local power switches. The unit has only a master switch. Ill be looking to replace this eventually. For now, its ok.

Used for my Christmas village instead of having to switch all the houses on, I can now ask Alexa to turn on The village and they all on. It’s also linked to my phone on app so super easy to control especially for those hard to reach outlets behind cabinets. Love this purchase

At the time I got it I only plugged 1 item because I was to bussy to move things around. Later I noticed that I am unable to plug things next to each plug because there is no space so I only was able to plug 4 things and is a 6 outlet! I really need it but the design is poor. Good thing I did not get the 4 plug one.

Lasted only 2 years

I really liked this product....when it worked. Easy to use and set up (we use Google Home), functions great. We experienced a power outage over a month ago and the outlet would not reconnect to WiFi. It kept showing as offline or network malfunction. It would not reset itself when I held the button down for 3-5 seconds. Just the green surge light stayed on. We were within the return date so I assumed it was a lemon, and had a new one sent to us. Worked great, just as easy before with the new one. Then, again, after a power outage the SAME thing happened with the second outlet. Tried everything to reset, but still not functioning. There’s no information about this online or help. Company is not helpful. And we are now past our return date. The device is allegedly surge protected but apparently after a surge/outage it’s basically useless and the outlets don’t even turn on. Really disappointed because of how easy to use this outlet was...until it doesn’t work.

This is my 1st smart plug and its been a great but at this price. Set up took about two minutes and I can now romotely control six devices. Cost was less then 2 plugs from other brand. App is easy too use and is pretty customizable Update: 3/23/23, Less than a year after purchasing this item the wifi has stopped working. The geeni app & google home now just say this powerstrip is offline and all attempts to reconnect it manually or through the easy startup process have failed. It started working very briefly twice and then crashed again. So..no this is just a very expensive basic six plug powerstrip and Ill have to buy another one from a different brand to regain the functionality I had before. Disappointing.

I got this power strip for my smart garage project. Installed it in a locked cabinet by my work bench, ran the cable out the cabinet and to the outlet. I have it setup using the Tuya app, and it works perfect every time. I have my table saw, shop vac, grind wheel, and air compressor plugged into this unit, that I control from a spare tablet I mounted on the wall. So now my kids wont be out playing with my tools and lose a finger. Highly recommend this unit.

It doesn’t keep time it was to go on at 5:15 and went on a 4:00

Glad that I can hook up all the electronics together and turn off the ones that Im not using from across the room
