Control patio lights

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.

Excelente producto, funciona perfectamente lo recomiendo

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.

Very easy set up. Great price. App and timer settings work perfectly. No complaints!

Great for Christmas lights. Easy to set up and use. We are happy with it.

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.

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 outdoor plug is very easy to setup. One mistake I made was thinking it would use the IHome app which it does not. The instructions point to the geeni app. This is not a negative on the product but something to be aware of. After setup I am able to link it to Alexa and control each outlet in the plug individually. The plug looks well made and my problems so far. When placing this plug it will need to go on the bottom outlet plus must hang off the floor. If you place plug on the floor or upside down in the elements the plug will get damaged since it is not designed to work in that position. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.

I highly recommend this if you’re looking for an outdoor smart plug. I put off fooling with it for over a week because I thought it would be a headache to get it setup. Nope. Had it connected to my Smart Life app and plugged up outside in under 5 minutes. There’s a plug-in streetlight I use in my front yard to pull into my driveway at night, otherwise I can’t see. This wi-fi plug allows me to turn it on and off from anywhere without plugging and unplugging. It’s located at least 20 feet from where my modem is located inside my house and I have no problem with my connection. I can’t say if it would pick up a wifi connection any further out, but if it didn’t, that would really be more an issue with your router’s signal strength than this product. In that case, I’d recommend getting a stronger router or a signal booster. Luckily, I didn’t have any issues. It’s also nice to know that the other switch is controlled separately. It’s PERFECT for holiday lights. Again, I HIGHLY recommend this little thing. I can’t compare it to any other brands because this is my first one. All I can tell you is that this one in particular does its job well and is easy as pie to set up. If it proves not to be outdoor friendly or I begin to have connectivity problems, I’ll come back to let you know. For right now, it gets 10 stars. A+
