iHome Flow Outdoor Smart Plug with Dual Sockets, Weatherproof IPX3 WiFi Plug with 2 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets, Works with Alexa & Google Home Voice Activation

I am having trouble connecting this divide. I have tried several times with the app and with Alexa. I have other plugs that connect right away, even after removing them, renaming them, or disconnecting them. This one has proven impossible. Two stars because the design sits flat on the ground or the wall, and the plugs face downward, preventing any water from getting in. I am disappointed with the Bluetooth connection; the instructions say that I have to use less than 5G, which may be the problem. I do not have these issues with my other plugs.

This was very simple to set up. Easy to download the app and connected on the first shot. App is clean and straightforward. Turn it on and off and can set schedules. Will be perfect for outdoor lights. We connected it to Alexa for voice control and surprisingly there were no issues! Finally something that worked! Definitely recommend.

IHome was great for automating some of my Christmas lights. I scheduled the lights to turn on at four and turn off at 10 PM and it does it on a dime very easily. At first it was a bit difficult to sync the plug in the app but there was some connectivity issues but it did after a couple of tries. The Geeni app is very intuitive and very easy to use. It was very easy to find the Geeni Alexa skill and it worked flawlessly. I can give voice commands to Alexa and she’ll turn them on and off whenever I want but the scheduling works on top of that. So this was great. This is located on my deck and I live close to Seattle so it’s always raining and I haven’t run into any issues yet.

I bought this for holiday lights and ended up not needing to use it, so its taken me forever to review. But, Im so glad I did! This was VERY easy to set up and linked with both Google Assistant and Alexa seamlessly. Im sorry I didnt set it up sooner. I started trying to connect it to the Geeni app on my own and it was taking a while, then I followed the instruction booklet and it literally connected in three seconds... Read the instructions people. Also, my plug is set up fairly close to my router, so that may effect how quickly it connected and how well its been staying connected. It has both schedule and timer functions. So, you can set it to turn an outlet on and off at set times and make it recurring (like youd do with holiday lights) or just a one-time thing. Additionally, you can set a timer so that the outlet turns off after a certain amount of time. It was very easy to link to both Google & Alexa and the voice commands worked perfectly on both platforms with basically no additional work. Of course, youll probably want to rename them from Switch 1 and Switch 2, but you dont have to... I would definitely get a smart power device from iHome again. I understand it doesnt work with the iHome app and that older iHome devices dont work with the Geeni app... But, this is my first iHome device, so that hasnt caused any issues for me.

The setup on this outlet is simple which I enjoyed, and I really like that you can separately name and control each outlet! The app the runs this device is very simple to use and has a timer on/off switch which is great for having things not on all day or night and saving on electricity. The only thing I found was a bit of a downside was the range for the Wi-Fi was not very good. I had it plugged in outside to help have some lighting on a timer and the device connected while inside, but when I went outside and set it up it wouldn’t connect to the WiFi in the house.

Works great for my sprinkler pump and outdoor lighting. Download the app and your good.

What can I say... It works with no problems..

Turns out it is compatible with our Alexa echo dot too!

I literally had this smart outlet up and running within about 10 minutes of opening the box. The box came a bit mangled (Amazon packaging problem...not a product problem) but because the plug was well secured in plastic molding, it was not damaged by the smashing of the exterior box. I plugged it in, downloaded the Geeni app, logged into Geeni with my google account, the device was immediately located by the app, I renamed the device, then named the plug, and then I was able to push a single button within the app to link it to my Google Home account. Voila! I then attached my device (using for my outdoor patio lights) and immediately I was able to use the Google Home Assistant to turn them on/off. I was also able to turn them on/off through the Google Home app. Not sure I will ever even use the Geeni app since it is now integrated so well in the Google Home app. My only wish is that it had its own hardware remote control. Sometimes we are not within earshot of the google devices and may not have the phone handy. Would be nice to simply have a physical remote control mounted outside on the patio for easy use. But otherwise, a simple, easy to install and integrate, product.

You have to download a separate genie app =- and it is not compatible with homekit either
