KMC Smart Plug Duo, 2-Outlet Wi-Fi Smart Plug, 2-Pack, Multi Plug Adapter, Independently Controlled Smart Outlets, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant, No Hub Required

Amazingly Simple to use Smart Plug. I already had SMART LIFE app on my phone for other devices. So it was very easy to setup. Although, the unit came with excellent Manual, I would need not just any glasses to read but 100x magnifier to read it, it is that small. Easy steps to connect 1) Have your home wifi password handy 2) Download Smart Home app from app store (register and log in and write down your password somewhere safe) 3) Plug the Smart plug in an outlet 4) Hard Press any button for about 5 seconds and the light will start blinking 5) Open Smart Home app, and it will automatically show the available device, Smart Plug Duo 6) Click to connect, it will ask for your wifi password and take few seconds to connect if it doesnt try this step again and it will work. 7) test it out by plugging in anything and enjoy. 8) be creative. I am going to use it to turn the lamp on if there is any motion detected on my outside camera. You will have to use IFTTT for this. 9) it automatically connected me to my ALEXA and Google Home service. But you may have to provide access to it and can use it with your voice commands which is awesome. The response time for the switch is pretty fast and you can turn on or control both at the same time. I am so far pretty happy with this unit. Will keep updated as I use it. I was hoping to connect this in my yard to automate the outside lighting but cannot due to its size. I need a single plug as I have rain cover on the outlet outside. I got this unit for free for review but I would have happily paid for this as it is very functional. If you liked me review and learnt something from it why not like it. Thanks.

This smart plug duo, 2-Outlet wi-fi plug by KMC gives the user 2 independently controlled smart outlets . KMC says that the device will work with Alexa or Google Assistant, requiring no hub. Furthermore, with 2 smart outlets, the user can independently power and control two devices. The manufacturers add that the plug will easily link with Alexa or Google to control devices by voice. The KMC Smart app will, the makers state, allow the user to automate connected devices based on conditions like time, sunrise/sunset, weather and more. Set up, the makers say, is easy: simply download the KMC Smart app and follow the in-app instructions to get started. With a few taps the user also can share control of their devices with family and friends. UL/ETL Certified. Lifetime Warranty. US-based Customer Support. Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking that hard when I ordered this item from Amazon Vine. Because actually, I can more easily take a few steps to start my teas maid than learn how to use this device. And nothing in my kitchen is that far away. Want to use the toaster? Fine. Just put the bread or whatever in, turn on. Similarly, for the toaster oven. Am not saying this device wouldn’t work for some people: just saying I dont seem to need it.

These are excellent smart outlets. Each unit has 2 outlets and 2 buttons. Each button is used for manual on and off. If you hold down both buttons for a few seconds you will go into pairing mode. That is it for the physical side of things. So easy, and fool proof. The software side follows the same suit. You download Smart Life. Sign up. Put you smart outlet into pairing mode, then sign into your wifi. It took me about 20 seconds for each unit. I renamed each outlet and set timers. This is as frill free as it gets, but that just makes it more simplistic and fluid. The app is fast with absolutely no issues. I was pleasantly surprised as this is rarely the case. Great, affordable smart outlets, that work super well.

saves me turning off the Christmas Tree and all!

countdown timer not working in smart life app. I use this feature a lot with my other smart plugs for some reason it won’t work on this product

I use these for my Christmas tree and star on the tree. Love the timer so I dont have to unplug or plug them back in. When I get up they are lit up and just when I get ready for bed they are off. Awesome!

These are some cheaper than the ones for Alexa. But be patient when setting them up from the Kmc app and linking it to the Alexa app. Took several tries till both work together.

The KMC Smart app is creepy. It absolutely demands Location on your phone to be On / Always or it won’t proceed with device setup. There’s no reason for that; this isn’t a thermostat. I suddenly didn’t trust it. I decided to switch my phone to our guest network, turn on Location, activate the device on the guest network, then turned off Location and switch my phone back to the private network. The device works and can be controlled with the app, but I’m going to get rid of both and replace them with a Z-Wave outlet controlled by SmartThings. I had tried this as a smaller, cheaper WiFi alternative to Z-Wave, but it’s not compatible with the SmartThings app and as mentioned doesn’t seem like a trustworthy app from a privacy perspective.

I bought a few pairs of these and after a struggle (if you unplug them from the plug you synced them up with I would have to do it over), I got a few to work. Ordered these cuz they were on sale and . . . Christmas. When they got here, not only can I NOT sync them to the app on my phone, they actually DELETED some of the plugs I had previously set up! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Do you use KMC app or Smart Life app? Online says KMC and the instructions say Smart Life. Either way, you have to download yet another app before you can use this. Since it says it works with Alexa or Google Assistant, I thought it would be just a plug it in and talk to Alexa. Goes to show you Im not as tech savvy as I hoped I was. I would use the KMC app as that is the manufacturer of the plug. Then you have to decide which device you want the plug to use. Since all our lamps are 3-way, I cant see the plug knowing how to use 1, 2 or 3 settings. Since there are no other devices I can see that would need voice control in our home, I dont plan on using this plug. It will be a good Christmas present for my youngest son who is much more tech savvy than I.
