> 24 hourThese units are easy to set up and operate from their app on your phone. I purchased 8 of these and they all worked perfectly and have been working for about 2 months now without issue. I look forward to purchasing more Govee products. I dont use Alexa so I couldnt rate them for that.

Honest feedback from an honest guy
> 24 hourI bought the Govee Dual Smart Plug 4 Pack, 15A WiFi Bluetooth Outlets because I love Govee products and the Govee Andriod Application. I use the Govee Andriod software to monitor ambient air temperatures in my computer case and control the lights on my computer cabinet (those lights provide ambient mood lighting & trigger visual warnings when temperatures are getting critical inside my computer tower). With these power outlets, I can control the power of things that are a part of my office/studio. It made sense to add the Govee Dual Smart Plug Outlets into the mix. I plugged all 4 Smart Plugs into the same power strip because certain things need to be on when others may need to be off. I love turning devices on and off with an Android device. The Govee app is easy (at least for me) to set up and utilize. The outlets also give a satisfying audible click when you turn them on and off. I also love that I can turn one side of the outlet on and the other off or both off if Im not using the outlet. I feel like an astronaut turning my computer on and off. Lots of buttons to press and things to monitor, and colorful lights. (starting score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) The Govee App doesnt currently allow the functionality to flip outlets around in the application, making it an annoyance to figure out which outlet is on which side. I labeled each dual outlet device with a number (1, 2, 3 & 4) with some masking tape, and then I had to turn each outlet on and off to determine if it was the left side or the right side. Its not a big deal, as I figured it out, but that would have been easy to program into their application (they currently let you do it with their Govee Lively Light Bars). The UI in the application is comically oversized for what it is. I can only see four outlets on one screen, where they could have easily reduced the amount of UI space needed to see at least a dozen outlets on one screen. I also would have appreciated a Widget functionality on the Andriod device so I could turn things on and off without loading the Govee app but rather from my devices home screen. I would love to have given these a 5-star review, but I found some unfortunate realities to owning these outlets... The outlets lack integration and automation (such as turning things on or off when the Govee Thermometers reach a certain temperature). Not having this capability is quite an oversight. Itd be great to have a Govee thermometer reading the room temperature and then have the Govee Outlet turn some other device on or turn off (like a fan or an air conditioner) when temperature thresholds have been passed. With the Govee Lively Lights, I can currently do this and I have the lights turn on and turn off when ambient computer temperatures reach a certain point. I cant get these outlets to do anything except manually turn them on and off or specify certain hours to turn them on or turn them off. I expected more functionality and integration into the Govee ecosystem with a smart outlet but it came up short. I can live without these functions, but I need clarification on why this functionality is missing. Itd be an awesome product if it were smarter. I know Govee frequently updates their devices with firmware updates, so it may exist someday. (-⭐) I should also be able to designate what kind of communication method I want the device to use instead of hogging up every Bluetooth communications channel with outlets Im not interested in interacting with. My Andriod tablet can only support a maximum of 7 Bluetooth device connections at once. If I try to add more outlets, I may run into issues with being unable to read a more important BlueTooth device (for example, a thermometer in my computer). These outlets use both WiFi and Bluetooth. How the device decides which to use is beyond me. I havent witnessed anything like this happening yet, but I am aware of hardware limitations. I wish Govee had made outlets available in black and white. I dont mind the color white, but sometimes I dont want to draw attention to a power outlet. I should be able to turn the outlet indicator light on and off while leaving the outlet on or off. They could have also added an LED to allow the Govee outlet to work as a nightlight. (-⭐) It will serve the purpose I intended to buy it for. Still, there isnt as much tender loving care for these outlets from Govee compared to other Govee products. These smart outlets need to be smarter. I would recommend these if you are looking for a basic remote on/off smart outlet. However, this is one bun that needs to go back into the oven. A 3-star rating implying its just ok is a fair assessment of the Govee Dual Smart Plug. (Final result: ⭐⭐⭐)

> 24 hourI recently received an echo show as a gift. This was my first experience with smart products, so I wanted to give its features a try. The first thing I turned to was a few plugs so that I could automatically turn things off when I leave the room or the house. Initially I tried a different brand that has great reviews, but as soon as I got them, I realized how awful they were - they were huge, didn’t have Bluetooth, and were a pain to connect. Govee to the rescue! These are like a luxury item in comparison to those. The Govee plugs are so easy to set up, the app just works, and has more features than I know what to do with. You can choose how you want to pair them (BT or Wifi), and the process is more or less automatic from there. You can set timers. Oh, and a feature I didn’t think I cared about quickly became my favorite one when I remembered how often I need to manually reset my router. With the other plugs, I would still have to get up and go unplug and re-plug everything in. With the Govee, even if WiFi is down it can connect via Bluetooth, so resetting it is just as straightforward as it would be if the WiFi wasn’t out. I’ve never had an issue with BT range - my phone and echo are probably ~40 feet from the router, through some doors and through a brick wall. It’s a small, but welcome convenience that I never want to live without again. I’ve had these for about 3 months now, and so far I haven’t had a single issue. My only “complaint” is that I wish they tracked power usage. I have a power strip from another brand that does this, and while it’s not needed, it is nice to know. If I can see where the bulk of my power usage is coming from, then I can be more mindful about what appliances are running and when. All in all, I recommend giving these a shot. I had an issue with another Govee product (I say issue, but really it was a that they didn’t fit where I intended to use them), and their customer service was incredibly proactive in reaching out to me and rectifying the problem even though it was well past my return window. I feel good about my purchase and love knowing that if anything were to come up, the Govee team will be there to help.

> 24 hourI just got this set of 4 double plugs. Awesome product! Great great connectivity with the app and integration into Alexa. Each side of the plug works independently or together. They can be controlled using the app or the buttons on the side of the plugs. The setup was super simple. Please make note of step 4... It wasnt in my instructions. 1) Download the Govee app 2) Plug und Dual Smart Plug into an outlet 3) Open the app and click the + in the top right corner **4) Tap on Home Improvement icon on the left, then you will be able to select the Dual Smart Plug. 5) Next follow the on screen prompts to finish the Smart Plug install. Once installed, you can label the whole Smart Plug and each individual Outlet separately. You can then group everything by individual Outlet, set timers, and automate tasks. Its also compatible with Alexa once you have enabled the skill in Alexa. The app pretty much does it for you once you click on it. Super convenient. I would definitely recommend purchasing these if youre looking for some good Smart Plugs! Im very impressed with the product and happy with the overall performance.

> 24 hourGood product, made well, easy to use and setup, works well. Had no problem with setup (have been using it for few days only). Only issue I have is the app, it has many advertisements and sale offers which shouldn’t be there considering this is paid product, end user wants to just use the products, which if we like, we go back to same manufacture for more, but adding all this to app of paid product gives bad taste and overwhelms the app user interface making product less user friendly

> 24 hourI have the meross one which is wifi only and bought this one because it had a bluetooth connection. Well even if connected to wifi it takes seconds for it to turn on or off compared to Meross. Meross literally does it that instant as if it were a switch when i turn it on or off. Other than that its great.
