GHome Smart Smart Plug,15A Wi-Fi Plug Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, Mini Outlet Socket Remote Control with Schedule Timer Function, Only for 2.4GHz Network, No Hub Required (4 Pack)

I tried various different ways to set up and install these plugs. Install is far too complicated for what should be such a simple device. Will only work with 2.4 GHz. So if you have a router that does 5 GHz, which almost everyone does now, youll have to go into your router settings and disable the 5G to set up this device. Just seems like a lot of trouble. At the end of the day Iwas unable to get them installed even after communicating with tech support and returned them. At a substantially higher cost, I bought a lutron lamp module which was installed and working in less than 5 minutes.

Tried several different ways to connect the plug to the app, will not connect

Haven’t been able to pair it to Alexa but the app works

If you know how to change your Wifi from 5. to 2.4Ghz itll be a breeze. If you dont you may get frustrated. For me, it worked quickly and easily and so far the integration with both Alexa and Home has worked well (well Google Home always has some quirks, but I knew this already from all other connected devices already)

It worked perfectly for a while, I then stopped using it and had it in a drawer. A few months passed and when I tried to use it again it was dead and not working

I’ve spent a few hours currently, but have yet to have it turn on the lamp. That’s all it has to do. I’ll have to hire someone to try to see if it works!

I don’t have a smart window ac but this is great to turn off and turn on my small ac unit when I’m not home. Totally recommend for any device you might need to control while you’re not home

Use these for lights in family & living room.

My life is way too busy to spend a lot of time figuring out a device. I have years of experience setting up home networks, so this shouldnt have been a challenge. But I could get none of these to connect. I do have a dual band router with 2.4 and 5 GHz, so that may be the problem. But I did all the set up on the the 2.4 with no luck. The app is very clunky and always has ads for products to purchase... I tried with the Smart Life app too because one reviewer said they had success that way. Still no luck... Back they go. As far as the physical product goes, they are nice and sleek looking. But two things I did not like: the units are large enough that you cannot use 2 next to each other in an outlet. Second, the indicator light is on the side of the unit-- it would be so much more helpful for it to be on top. When it is plugged in, if the side with the light is facing away from you, its difficult to see if the light is on or flashing or whatever... I dont understand the thinking behind not putting it where it was more easily accessible.

I have a dozen of these and they work great. I use the gosund app to control. Very rarely do they lose connection. They are simple to set up. Read and follow the instructions.
