Good purchase, very convenient

I have bought multiple Gosund products because of lower cost, and they generally work, but I have been having problems constantly lately that they go offline when our Internet drops. Ive been using 2 of these for 3 months and they havent gone offline even once. I just configured the other 2. They just did a software upgrade. The app told me it was available and it gave me the option to apply it to a single device or all devices. I havent seen a single upgrade for the Gosund outlets in 4 years.

Very easy to set up. I use it for a lamp that has the switch in the middle of the cord which is under my couch. This makes it considerably easier rather than bending around like some kind of ventriloquist.

What a game changer! Light timers simplified, easy to use app, no noisy grinding timer noise. Lights can be turned on and off without messing up timer schedule. You need these in your home!

Great scheduling features in the app, exactly what I needed. Highly recommended.

Easy to install and works well.

Good Wi-Fi distance. Easy to set up. But I cannot purchase more until a firmware update is produced so that if there are Wi-Fi glitches due to power outages, product reattaches to Wi-Fi. It will reattach if its a momentary lapse, however if power fluctuates and your Wi-Fi goes off and on several times, it gives up. This would be a catastrophe if such a thing happened while away and a schedule was set up for light timers etc. In other words, should such an event happen AKA trees intermittently touching the power lines etc during a storm, it wouldnt reach out at a dedicated time frame such as repeatedly 1/2/3hrs later etc to try and reattach. This type of event happened One night when internet went in and out several times during the night and the next day none of the outlets were found in the Kasa app. A couple months later ( currently ) a similar event occurred and two of them were not recognized any longer but I was home. I let it go for 2 days and they never came back online until I manually unplugged and replugged in the units. Until such is resolved I dont feel led to buy more of the apparati such as the light switches etc because if they were to go out in similar manner Id have to flip the breakers off on the house to reset them or take apart the light switch. Just food for thought for all and the manufacturer.

Actually pretty easy to set up. Challenge to the pros, get at me when you set up 3 at once ;). 1. Install TP-Links Kasa app on your phone. 2. In the app, click the + to add a Smart Plug, then Smart Plug Lite / Mini 3. Plug in 1 of these into the wall, it should start flashing blue and orange without you touching it. 4. After a time, the app will prompt you to join the smart plugs network *note* Each plug has its own WiFi network at first youll need to connect to wirelessly using your phone. This is a different network than your existing home wireless network. 4.1. the plugs default network will be called something like Smart_Plug_0123 5. After connecting your mobile to THAT network, return to the Kasa app so it can speak to this device wirelessly. 6. After initial talks between the plug and your phone, the app will prompt you to teach the plug which WiFi network it should use instead of its own default network. Specify your home network through the mobile app and enter the password you use for devices to connect to it. 6.1 The app will send the WiFi name and password over to the plug, which will then be authenticated and joined to your home network in the background. 7. On your mobile, rejoin your home network (the normal one you started on) and validate your plug is now on that same home network as well. 8. Using the Kasa app, try turning the outlet on and off. If it works you should hear a click as it turns on and off, indicating the internal relay device inside the outlet is switching on and off from your apps instructions. Power usage note: Even when the relay is switched off, this device uses 0.5w at idle. This means plugged in 24/7/365, one outlet will be responsible for a yearly usage of 4.38kW. That is, 0.5w * (365*24) / 1000.

The product is excellent, connected fast and entered the network without a problem.
