iHome Flow Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring and Timer Function, Wireless Wi-Fi Outlet Socket with On/Off Button, No Hub Required, Compatible with Alexa, Echo, and Google Home, 2-Pack

VERY SIMPLE TO INSTALL.

Ihome dose not support these anymore. Have to down load Geeni. Pretty easy to do, but won’t connect. I emailed customer service and they gave me a number. They where wonderful! Works now!

If you don’t have these, you should get them.

If you need HomeKit from Apple, go elsewhere

So nice to turn things on and off remotely (using my phone). Easy to install/configure. Great product.

This comes as a two pack of smart outlet plugs. I got these because my indoor Christmas lights timer stopped working. It was easy to connect this to my smartlife app. This allowed me to set my lights to a timer to turn on and off at Certain times each day, even setting different times each day; I would set these to turn on earlier on Friday Saturday and Sunday, and turn off earlier on school nights so as to help my young children with bed time. I didnt really use the energy monitoring but did see that as an option on this. The plug takes up just one plug of my outlet leaving room to use the other outlet plug for something else.

… but the Geeni smart dots work notably better.

This user friendly, better than the old fashion timer.

I havent added Alexa yet, but expect no problem. It reads out the consumption on a daily basis, so for example, my fairly large, mini-fridge typically uses .74kw. Nice. One thing that would be nice is ability to access that data when the device is not plugged in.

About a year later, I am updating my review from 3 to 4 stars. I did originally purchase these with the expectation that they would work with my iHome app and they didnt, which disappointed me. However, I did keep these plugs and they have been working great. I even purchased two more recently to have more available smart plugs in the house. I love that I can set schedules for the plug to turn on and off and turn the plug on and off with my phone app. The entire reason I chose these is because I already have an iHome plug & the iHome app and I didnt want to have to download another app. These plugs are not compatible with the iHome app. You will be forced to download another random app to use them. However, separate from the app frustration, the plugs have been working just fine.
