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

The Geeni Smart Wi-Fi Wall Outlet is a bit of a hassle to physically install. But it works perfectly once configured using a compatible control app. It tends to be a few dollars less expensive than identical receptacle sold by the competition. That said, there are a few issues with this product that bare mentioning. The Geeni (a.k.a., MyGeeni) is simply another private-label reseller of this rather ubiquitous Chineseum-built app-managed product. Youll find this exact model sold under a variety of brand names (e.g.: Lumary, TopGreener, et al), so shop around for the best price. (Indeed, as I write this Geeni sells this receptacle--rebranded as the Current--for few dollars lower than other resellers here on Amazon.) This IoT (Internet of Things) device is managed by a handful of control apps, and its setup and configuration are straightforward with a compatible control app. I use Smart Life, and this receptacle integrates seamlessly into a Smart Life domain. I had zero difficulties adding/integrating each Geeni Current receptacle into my Smart Life domain. As this specific receptacle is rebranded by various private label entities, the following issues are typical of the device, regardless of brand. - The receptacle is only manufactured white; it is not available in any of the other standard in-wall device colors; ivory, almond, and brown. - A manual power override button resides in the middle of the receptacle that is also critical for device setup. This button is backlit by a bright blue LED. Nether the button function nor its backlight can be disabled within the control app. - Dimensionally, this receptacle is LARGE: It fills the box and leaves very little room for wires and wire connectors. If you find the receptacle does not slip fully into your existing electrical box, you must replace the box with one of sufficient volume, which is no casual exercise. It requires the use of a pigtail connection. (Simply cut three 6 conductors and fasten them appropriately to the conductors in the box with suitable-size wirenuts.) - The manufacturer includes a flimsy plastic Decora-style wall plate with included non-standard plate screws. If you choose to use your OWN Decora-style wall plate (as I did), you must increase the plate screw holes with a #35 (7/64) drill bit in order to use standard plate screws.

Easy to install.

I had to manually pair to my wifi network a few times but eventually it worked.

My only complaint is the screw holes for the cover plates are to small for standard cover screws. When I tried to tighten them one broke off in the hole. I secured the plate with the other. On the second install the same thing occurred I had to use foam tape to secure the plate for the moment.

This is a really great product that can turn any device that plugs in into a smart one. We used it for heater in the basement and were able to use it as a timer on a regular basis. Excellent product

The device is great. I gave this 4 stars because the Geeni app needs a little work. UI is clunky and you have to erase automations/configs rather than have the option to edit.

Installing the outlet is hardest part While not necessarily the fault of the outlet, I think it is important to know before you buy as I was unable to use it where I had originally intended - my 1950s boxes & wiring standards, combined with the substantial girth of the outlet and its push-in terminals did make it a bit tricky to get seated properly. If you have an older home, I would suggest surveying your existing outlet(s) before ordering. Once installed, setup and operation are about as easy as can be. The outlet shows up in Alexa as 4 devices - the entire outlet, the top plug, the bottom plug, and the USBs. I like having the option to control each bit independently.

This outlet is pretty big, hard to fit into older boxes. A regular trim plate fits it nicely though. It connected right up to my wifi using the Avatar controls app. I like this one over some of the others because the one button turns on both outlets and is easy to find. I wish the button was lit when the outlets were off so a person could find it in the dark though.

Work as advertised and easy to install.

I have many Products from this company they work flawless.
