Govee Dual Smart Plug 4 Pack, 15A WiFi Bluetooth Outlet, Work with Alexa and Google Assistant, 2-in-1 Compact Design, Govee Home App Control Remotely with No Hub Required, Timer, FCC and ETL Certified

I 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: ⭐⭐⭐)

We live out in the country, basically off grid with Sasquatch playing the banjo just beyond the trees, so we aren’t able to get wifi or satellite. These things give us a bit of the technology we would like to have and link right to our Bluetooth for control on our phones! You can turn them on and off at your choosing through the app, or you can set times and days for them to turn on and power the plugged in item. These are perfect for our wax melts and gaming LEDs. As well as lamps for when we just get home from work. I’m already on our 6th outlet and have plans for more. Highly recommend!

Product was very good delivered on time

This is a very good value for the money. It does work fine with Alexa after the relatively simple instructions are followed. I probably missed that other software was needed to use this. Not sure I would have bought if I was fully aware which I admit is my issue. I Just prefer using the fewest apps / brands / companies possible, whenever possible.

First of all, the Govee app is very simple and easy to use. The outlets found the Wifi my phone was on and connected quickly as well. I like how you can turn on/off each plug manually or from your phone, and set timers for any day of the week for each individual side--thats right, each plug has its own setup and you can name it in the app. The indicator lights on the plugs also let you know if it has power or not. Highly recommended.

I used the outlets to turn on lights and a fan in a hard to reach place. Each outlet is separately controlled and is easily named and renamed. Installation went quickly and smoothly as did connecting it to Alexa. Alexa turned on and off each outlet as expected. Very happy thus far with the ease of use and ease of connecting to Alexa.

I love these! Install the app. Connect it to your alexa app. And my echo dot (5th gen) can turn them on and off for me! Especially when I dont want to move the couch to unplug something. Its so nice. I feel spoiled having these.

Great plug for use as a timer for lamps and on demand use with Alexa. Also can use remotely when not home.

Finally got the right product as described. I needed Bluetooth capability as I dont have Internet access. But For this product to work, you must have location/gps turned on. I do have issue with this as Im a very private person and have such controls turned off to the best if my ability.

It didn’t take long to set up their app or connect it to Alexa. Works great!
