Geeni Wi-Fi Smart Wall Outlet with 2 Plugs and Wireless App Control, Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, WiFi Smart Outlet, 2 Pack

i really like this smart outlet. it pairs well with my Google Home. i can set timers and turn it off/on remotely (with app). The only issue i have is that after a power outage, a manual reset is required for the outlet to function. this is unfortunate, i have placed this outlet behind a very heavy piece of furniture and now have to move this item to reset the outlet after a power outage. the reset process itself is quite easy (press the button on the front of the outlet)

Our whole house is geeni. They work great! Easy to install and easy to program

Bottom Line Upfront: Device Does Not Work With Alexa Details: There is a problem with either the firmware of the device and/or the Alexa Skill. The device will add correctly to the Geeni app and has all functionality from there, but when discovery is run on Alexa, only the bottom socket and the USB are “found” and controllable. I reached out to Geeni engineering over a week ago and have heard nothing. This is a major engineering failing and shows that the head of that department is totally useless in their role.

This plug does do what I need it to do, but… You must use the Faceplate Screws provided because the screws and screw-holes on the outlet are smaller diameter than a standard plug, or you can re-tap the holes on the Geeni outlet. I wish this came in more color selections. The rest of the outlets/switches in the house are Light Almond. I can use this though because it is behind a nightstand and I used a Light Almond Faceplate with it. I needed this system to be able to program power to two different devices, and to be able to turn-on/off remotely (cellphone) if needed, so I am not linking it to Alexa and the rest of the Smart Life systems within the house (personal issues with the protocols). I tried using the smart plugs that you can plug into any outlet and then plug your device into but they covered the USB charging ports, which I needed to be able to use too.

its great to be able to turn the lights on and off from anywhere, i installed it outside for my chritsmas light and work great.

Great product, easy to install

Went thru two of these. The Fireplace ( 12 Amp - Walker Edison) and newer, popped two of these on the bottom receptacle. Both after only 3 days or so. Top receptacle is fine but only has a 65 Inch TV and Xfinity Box plugged into it. Not sure why two failed when its rated up to 15 amp ? I use an extension cord to a different outlet and the Fireplace works just fine !

These were contractor recommended. They seemed easy to install (the contractor installed them). I got them to use at my kitchen peninsula so that we can just plug the usb directly to the outlet because who has time to find the cell phone plug? You can connect them directly to your wifi. Im not going to do that because all I needed was something without the wifi, but it was recommended and needed asap for kitchen reno.

Work as advertised and easy to install.

Easy to install and use. And it worked for a while. But now it won’t connect to the internet.
