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

I purchased the 6-outlet version of this about a month ago, to use with my desktop PC and monitors, and so far it has been fantastic. I use it not with Alexa but with Google Home, and I have had no issues there. I did have a little difficulty setting it up - but that was entirely user error (I forgot I had changed my WEP key... oof), and had I not made that mistake, would have had it up and running within minutes of receiving it. Something I appreciate is that it makes a satisfying click when turning the outlets on or off, which is both pleasant (imo) but also useful for troubleshooting. The only thing Im not wild about is having to download a third-party app in order to integrate it with Google Home, but ultimately thats not been an issue. It doesnt take up much space on my phone and has not been pushy or annoying in any way - I tend to forget its there. Overall, this is a great value for a smart strip, I would recommend it.

I actually purchased a second one after the first was so easy to set up, and it seems to be pretty reliable. Google Home is notorious for suddenly not being able to find devices, but this power strip proves that its Google Home and not the device. Even after something like a power outage, it quickly reconnects and reliably controls devices. Shame that more manufacturers cant produce that kind of reliability.

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

This item works well—when it works. After weeks of back and forth with tech support it was decided that a replacement item would be sent. That was over a month ago. Ive sent over a dozen emails asking a status on the replacement and they do not respond. Avoid this company!

Alexa doesnt recognize this device half the time, i.e, the slot I named 5 gallon tank and says its not responding, but when I go through the app Im able to control the outlets just fine. This was easy to install and works with the Smart Life app... just not Alexa. So much for voice controlling water changes on my nano tank, and glad I have a waterproof case on my iphone to control via the app!

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.

Cord is too short.

Weve had a problem with this device flickering off and on. Weve tried it on different outlets, returned one and got another, tried different devices plugged in and it is definitely the device.

So I finally get the wifi connected after having to reconfigure my router because their app cant find my 2.4Ghz. Now the timer doesnt work for the outlet. Seems pretty self explanatory, really dont have a choice as there are no instructions. I have two outlets set to turn on an off at certain times, but they dont turn off. Their website doesnt even show this model, so no help there. Im stuck trying to track down support and hope I can understand through the accent. Just might end up sending it back if this isnt resolved tomorrow. Almost 30 years in IT support. Its not me.

Pros: - Very Convenient: For $19 (3 outlets), no more bending and reaching for awkward corners to turn on your cute lamps and LED light strip every night! Good for my back so yes! - Good customer service! Kudos to Ariya and Joel (I hope I got the names right I am sorry) who assisted me doing no less than 8 resets while being professional and friendly too, love it. Also love the call back option so I dont have to get brainwashed by waiting line music. - Once its hooked it changed my life! I had a lot home decor lamps and LED wall signs and having them turned on/off automatically every night was a godsend. Also imagine what you can do to use this function to create the ultimate Halloween experience, cant wait to replace other outlet in my home to scare the crap out of people :DDD - Shareable! But I made a mistake and let my brother join the household and he was just mess with the light to mess with me. Be careful with who you share the control with I guess. (I removed him, which is also a pro for the app Cons - I like to considered myself tech-savvy but this honestly took me a while (because my router was not cooperating :/ ) but can be resolved by calling them. Be penitent my friend <:) - No individual buttons on the device to turn on/off manually, has to go through the app so I can see it being frustrating if one of them not reacting to the apps command. - The indicator lights are pretty bright so hide them if you hate that hue in a dark room Other - Like all electronic devices nowadays we dont know how long it will last! But I will just enjoy the ride while its still running. - I am only using light control and lightbulbs from this company but like all smart household appliances, read the fine print to see the privacy policy if you are wary about the location and recording data being collected.
