I have installed these products to control my Christmas Lights and other Trims. They work great and is easy to link to Google Assist. I can easily set times from the app or using Google Assist. Must have a Standard electrical Box and is NOT a Cut-In Box or it will not fit or it will be tight.

I needed to file the existing house wires to get them to fit into the attachments on the outlets.

Had one minor issue, but so far these have been very worth it. (GN-WW116-199) We had some worries about installing these in places where wed need to use a vacuum or steam mop, but I could find no legitimate reason not to simply try it, because both appliances claim to be well below 15 amps. I decided to just go ahead and try it and thankfully, both appliances function fine (separately) and the outlet didnt shut off or catch fire. They will never be used at that level for extended periods of time, so Im not too worried and I feel like this is useful information for anyone considering the outlets. You have 3 virtual switches, one for each outlet, and one for both USB plugs together. You can turn them on, off manually with the app, with the button, or with scheduled triggers. I have not messed with the more complex stuff, but it sounds like you can do things like have it turn off after a certain period has elapsed after turning it on. I plan to play around with this for charging things without overcharging them, as I like to avoid overcharging most of my batteries. The switch is audible when it turns on. Its not super loud, but has a good solid sounding thunk to it. I assume this is a good thing, at least it makes me feel like it is going to be able to handle the amps that it says it can. Someone said the USBs are not a fast charger, I dont think this is true. I plugged my phone in, and checked the charge rate with Ampere and it appeared to be the same as my 3 amp fast charger. Obviously if you plug two devices at the same time, this will likely be halved. Dont be turned off, the USBs appear to have plenty of amps. We did run into one issue. Today, we had the 3 that were on schedules fail to turn on. When I checked them in the app, all 4 outlets showed as disconnected. They could still be turned on manually with the button, but were disconnected to the app. The wifi was on and working and nothing had changed. I rebooted the router to no avail. When this happens you are supposed to be able to hold the button for 3 seconds to reset the device. This didnt work for me on any of the outlets. Nothing I did with the button would reset the outlet. Perhaps a firmware update messed up the functionality or the documentation is wrong. So if you have this happen and are in the same boat, DO NOT remove the device in the app as Ive seen suggested. Instead, simply turn off the breaker, wait 30 seconds to a minute and turn it back on. For me, this reconnected the devices. I figured this out after removing two. Those ones had to be added back and the schedules recreated. Save yourself the extra steps and just turn off the breaker first. Obviously wait for a good time, when you arent going to be turning off someones desktop computer or something. UPDATE: Things that you need to be aware of. - 15 amp limit on the whole outlet, but 10 amp limit per plug. So you will never get more than 10 amps on a device. - If you burn out an outlet, there is no easy to access way to fix it. Consider the outlet ready to be replaced if that happens. I did start to disassemble it but once I decided Id gone far enough and hadnt found a fuse yet, I wrote it off at that point. We burned a single plug out of ours with a steam mop in tandem with a 1 extension that afterwards I noticed did not fit tightly like it should. So it would have had higher than normal resistance, but I also didnt realize the 10 amp limit at the time and probably would never have tried the steam mop had I known that. - If you have the issue where they disconnect and dont reconnect (this happens once every week or two for us), there is no easy way to reset them. You are supposed to be able to reset them using the button, but I assure you that on the current firmware there does not seem to be any way to do this. The ONLY solution I have found is to turn off the breaker and this is actually the action you should take, because it does work very well to make them reconnect, but as you can guess this can be very inconvenient. My personal conclusion: Im taking them all out. I took off one star mainly due to the disconnect issue and it not being easy to reset. Id take off more, but Im not an electrician and have no way to back up my current worries with actual knowledge. I opted to remove them for the following reasons. - My partner needs to plug in a higher amperage device to multiple of the places where I had these, so using a standard outlet with a single smart plug instead, just makes a lot more sense, because you have the flexibility of maintaining a full amperage outlet. - If they break or you decide to move them (or you need to reset them), these are much more work and hassle. - The hole hookups in the back are required if you need to hook up more than one set of wires (which presumably would be most of the time). This seemed fine, but when I took one of these out, I found the ends of the copper wires to be blackened. That same loop has a 1500 watt heater on it, on a separate outlet mind you, and the blackened ends just leads me to believe the hole hookups in the back dont provide a good enough connection. This led to a lack of trust in these outlets for me and Im opting to not use them mainly for this reason.

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.

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.

Added a star. Product arrived quickly. Physical installation is just like a standard outlet, however after that not so much. It took many attempts to connect to home network, it was extremely frustrating, but eventually it did connect. Programming and control could be more intuitive but it does cycle lights on a timer. A big positive is when there is a power outage, it reconnects automatically without hassle. I’d look at others before buying again though.

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

It took a little adjusting back and forth on the Geeni and Google Home apps to get voice control to work. I am certainly not savvy at these sort of things, so if I can figure it out, it must be pretty simple.

Great product, easy to install

I was not able to get the outlet to connect to the wifi which was about 60 away. Maybe I was too far away, but other wifi items worked just fine at the same location.
