These work but could be better

Easy to use and priced right!!

These replaced some smart power strips that were essential to my home automation routines. Unfortunately, those crapped out after a couple years or so. Hopefully these will last longer. I much prefer that these live on the wall, plugged directly into outlet, whereas the others sat on the floor — but there are definitely advantages to the power strip type. I also like that one outlet is always on for devices that I don’t ever need/want to automate. Best of all, while my old ones made an obnoxious buzzing/whining sound, these are much quieter. (I think the old ones were quiet initially, so time will tell how these hold up in that regard.) For the price, these are tough to beat.

Great product great price

This would be a five star review if they didnt raise the price every time I go to order more. Of course, I want to order more because they work great, and I love being able to monitor energy for each of my aquariums. No longer the value I found when I first ordered them. Also, a huge bummer is that the outlet doesnt revert to the last state after a power outage. It all reverts to OFF, so I need to manually turn my aquarium filter, heater and lights back on after the power goes out even briefly.

Flash these with Tasmota OTA with Tuya-Convert and set them up in Home Assistant to monitor power. Use the power draw to build automations, for instance, when energy is no longer being drawn, your washing machine is done (check the amperage of your washing machine first, of course). Three of the four outlets are individually controlled, one is always on. These outlets are SO cheap. But a handful.

Kind of a pain to have to clip off the plastic peg in the back. It was in the way and I couldn’t plug it in otherwise. It should be easily removable. The directions are faulty, the app they tell you to download is incorrect. The correct app is called “Smart Life”. I already had that app for some other devices I already own, so once I realized that thanks to another reviewer, it was quite simple to add this device. My other complaint is that the plugs are much too close together side-by-side. It’s very difficult to plug three things in altogether, especially since one of the items I needed to plug-in has a wider plug than most. I was able to resolve that by using a converter from two prong to three prong, even though my original plug was three prong to begin with. But it extended it out far enough that I was able to make it work. Alexa was easily able to discover the device and from that point programming was simple. Without the stupid plastic bag on the back, faulty instructions, and needing to jury rig one of the plugs in order to use all three, I would have given this five stars. If I didn’t happen to have that plug converter on hand, I would have only been able to use two of them. And even then it was pretty tight. hopefully this will get resolved in the future models.

Tried to attach the both devices to existing wifi and smart life app. Added another brands plugs within 5 minutes while over 30 minutes of trying did not work. Ive setup 80 iot devices, so the procedure is not new. New out of box but it wont connect. The receptacles are pretty tight though, which is nice. Unfortunately will have to return.

These randomly shut off, there doesnt appear to be a rhyme or reason to it. Otherwise theyd be great. So unfortunately you cant use them on anything where random shut offs are an issue, which is many things. Im pretty disappointed because I bought many at first thinking they were a great value, but not a great value if I have to replace them with something else.

The app or connection is failt.y. the off and on functions would fail quite regularly. I had to put back my manual switch off plugs. Didnt return bc its not worth the aggravation for the price
