Jinvoo Wi-Fi Smart Power Strip Surge Protector, Multi Plug with 4 AC Outlets 4 USB Ports, No Hub Required, Works with Google Home - Black

This has been a great addition into our smart home, we bought two!

Im totally blind! I got this so I could plug in some of my echos and to be able to turn them off and on when I need to add additional Zigbee devices that may also have Bluetooth so I can be assured of what device the new hardware will connect to. But anyway when I got this out of the box! I was kind of shocked being it wasnt the same as other Jinvoo power strips that Ive ordered. Yes I said power strip and not search protecter. But anyway things I noticed off the bat. This cannot be mounted on a wall. This is meant to be sued sitting flat on a hard spot. If this is a surge protector, I wouldnt know how to reset it. Im use to them having a button that you can press to reset it and I dont find one on this device. Now for those that cant see like myself. This strip has a power cord coming out of the end of it. If you have the cord coming out of the left side of it! You will then have two rows on the front of the strip. across the top front you have the power/pair button in the upper Left. To the righ of this is an LED for the USB to tell you when the USB are on or off. To the right of that you have 4 USB A Female ports. Now to the bottom part of the front of the strip. You have 4 outlets 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each outlet has an LED above it to show when that outlet has power. The ground plug will be at the bottom of each of the outlets. You will not be able to connect this to any Zigbee Echo device and be able to take full advantage of what it can do. If you try, you will only get one plug that the Echo will see. Ive tried this with an Echo 2nd gen plus and 4th gen with premium sound and Zigbee hub. So Im guessing this will be the case for any device that is an Echo that has a built in Zigbee hub. I also tried connecting this to an Samsung Smartthing 3rd gen hub and again, it only saw one plug. You must connect this to a Tuya Zigbee hub for it to work fully. Now when connected to an Tuya Zigbee hub! You will then get 6 devices and at that point, the Echo will be able to access all 6 devices. You will have 1 device for each of the AC outlets and 1 device for all 4 USB ports and the last device is for the full power strip itself. Using an Echo I was able to turn on and off each plug along with the USB ports and the full strip. The USB switch is for all 4 ports, you cannot control just one of them. Other things to be aware of in my testing. If you turn off lets say AC outlet 3 and have outlet 1, 2 and 4 on then tell Alexa to turn off the power strip! and then have Alexa turn it back on! At that point, all the outlets come on all 4 of them along with the USB plugs. Now in the same case if you manually turn on the power strip! Again, all 4 outlets along with the USB come on. Now if in the csame case you have only outlet 3 off and everything else on! The power goes out in your house and comes back on! in that case! The power strip will only turn back on the outlet that had power to start with. The only thing that I can see that would be an improvement for me and I would guess other people would also agree is if this power strip would have a flat wall plug and not one that sticks out of the wall so it could then be used behind couches and cabinet and the like.

Great product. Arrived in hood condition and set up in under five minutes. Definitely would purchase more to replace others.

Disappointed because the actual item was exactly what I needed. A smart plug with a long cord. However when I downloaded the apple app it asked for some strange permissions. Allow connections to all Bluetooth items being one of them. I thought it was weird but I agreed. I later sat down to link it with my Alexa so I could have her control my power strip. That’s when I got this warning. The strip won’t show up at all on my Alexa plugs. I HAVE to install this skill to get it to work. Through further investigation I found out they sell multiple smart plugs under different names. All the same app. Smart Link. DO NOT BUY THIS! It is data mining. Even deleting my account it was strange and I had to submit a code via my email. I am concerned with what they already got from me thinking this was a legit company. I’m going back to Kasa/TP link which I have used for years. Never had any issue trusting them!! Disappointed that my option for a refund is to return this item and allow them to have product to fool someone else. Please do not get this or any smart plug on here that requires smart link app! I’m shocked when I searched for smart plugs again on here the majority have the same app.

So easy to setup after other devices failed over and over. I love the smaller size, it is perfect. Great buy!

Works really well when you want to have a timer to turn on and off your lights. The app is not as popular so you may only have a few things hooked up to it.i hope they invent more stuff

Love this!!! So cool to be able to control each outlet separately , or turn on/off all at once. Exactly what I was hoping for!

Junk, unmitigated junk. No matter what time I set the timers to, they all turn on at 6am. If you take the control device (my phone) outside of Bluetooth range, you get spammed with connection errors and cant control any of the outlets. WTF good is this app, if you cant control it while away from home? Im so sorry I invested in these outlets and this app. Wasted money and time. If you look at the app reviews, you will see Im not alone in my views on this.

Was easy to configure. Much cheaper than buying individual sockets. Use it for lights, stereo, subwoofer so alexa can turn it off when not playing music.

It was easy to set up. And it was a good price.
