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.

It works great! Completely weather proof in the desert with rain and dust/sand!

QUICK SUMMARY: I like this smart outlet. Its solving a problem for the upcoming holidays where I want to light up my backyard patio. WHAT I LIKE: - Works with Alexa. Its easy to add a new skill and then say, Alexa, turn on (or off) the patio lights - Once connected, it seems to stay connected - Easy to install WHAT COULD BE BETTER: - Although the packaging says its suitable for outdoor use, the owners manual contradicts that and says its for indoor use only (Im using it outdoors) - Since its for outdoor use, it would be nice if it had a GFCI protection built-in - Its not Underwriter Labs-listed - It doesnt identify which outlet is Socket 1 and which is Socket 2 (when holding the smart outlet upright, Socket 1 is the left one, Socket 2 is the right one) - I had problems connecting this to my WiFi. The automatic method didnt work, and the instructions for manually adding it werent right. I bumbled my way through and found a way to connect it, though. - It uses LED light blinking frequency to distinguish between manual connection mode and automatic connection mode. You have to read the fine print to learn what fast blinking means. Would be better to just use a different LED light color to indicate the different modes. CONCLUSION: Once setup, I like the smart outlet. I wish it were UL-listed. I wish it were easier to connect to my homes WiFi. But now that its installed and connected to Alexa, I like it.

Excelente producto, funciona perfectamente lo recomiendo

I had to update the capacity of an outdoor outlet in a backyard planter to add more capacity. It previously operated a landscape lighting transformer and a waterfall style fountain that was operated with a manual switch. I was adding some sport court lighting and needed an additional outlet. I picked up this product and it not only provided the additional capacity, but I was able to tie in the sport court lighting with other previously existing lights that I was able to control with Alexa, plus I was able to add smart control of the fountain, which is a nice upgrade. Setup was easy, very standard for this type of product. So far, it is working as expected and holding up in the outdoor elements.

Connecting to wifi and getting it set up took less than 5 minutes. Linking to Google Home was super easy too! Setting it up to come on at a certain time and go off at another was also super easy! I am also able to tell Google to turn it off/on without any issues! If you set this up to have one plug always on and one on a timer, just double check on the device to make sure the outlet that should remain on, remains on. I found out by accident that one outlet was off. Overall, this device really is the easiest wifi connected device that I have set up this year! It does what it should and responds when needed. Highly recommended.

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

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

IHome appears to have discontinued support for HomeKit. The Home app on iPad no longer recognizes these devices.

I recently installed a floodlight next to an outdoor plug and plugged it in instead of hiring an electrician to install a switch. This installation left me with having to plug and unplug it whenever I wanted it on or off. I saw this and thought it would be an ideal solution to my problem. It worked as expected, and I can now turn on and off my floodlight by asking Alexa to do it. Installation was simple; I plugged it in, installed the Geeni app, and followed the directions. I then went to the Alexa app and named it Floodlight, and now it works perfectly. It has two plugs that operate independently. I am currently only using one, but having a second one is a great option. Hopefully, it holds up over time. I will update the review if it fails early.
