> 3 dayUsing a raspberry pi 4 I was able to flash these with tasmota in just a few minutes then integrate them with HomeAssistant with ease. No soldering needed, the are ota ready for flashing. Will definitely be buying more for myself and family for home automation using HA. Knocking off one star as it’s not the best looking wall plug out there and looks a bit cheap, just need to hide it out of sight.

> 3 dayI like the fact that you can turn off the plugs separately and not all at once

Greater than one weekI had bought these couple of years back, and happy that they are still allowing to flash tasmota through old firmware (which is a good thing).

Greater than one weekI am using this for a fan that I can control through Google. Works well. My only complaint is during setup it can take a it to get into discovery mode, but after that it was smooth sailing!

> 3 dayThere was some confusion with which app to use. We finally connected with one that worked with Alexa. I would have given up trying to figure it out, but luckily it was my husband setting everything up. Product works as advertised. I just wish that there was an easier process for setting it up. It became the most time intensive setup for a smart device either of us have had. I had to read through the reviews to figure out what we were doing wrong...

> 3 dayI ordered the 2-pack of the Smart multi-tap outlets, and just plugged the first one in this morning. The very first thing that I did was download a bunch of Smart Device apps, most of which were mentioned in different reviews here. 1. The KMC Smart App has a low 3-Star rating, but thats what I used to connect to the device. The instructions in the app kind of suck because you have to fail at your first attempt before it tells you that another option for attempting to pair the device is to turn on, wait 10 seconds, turn off, turn on hold the button until the light blinks fast, and then you can pair with the app. Its something like that, but dont quote me. lol 2. For giggles I tried the Smart Life app that someone in a review recommended... AND... it looks almost identical to the KMC Smart app. I wouldnt be surprised if there used to be a different KMC Smart app that earned the 3-Star rating, and the app I downloaded is now simply a customized for KMC version of Smart Life. 3. Someone complained about network security because you have to share the WiFi password with the app, but you HAVE TO do that so the app can send the password to the device. The device uses WiFi as the interface if you want to access the settings, so it needs a password. If youre concerned about security, which I am, I turned on the Guest WiFi network with access to my home network disabled, but it still has Internet access if I use any cloud services down the road. 4. Some people claim that all switchable plugs turn on and off together as one unit, which is why I state that the device is buggy. It seems to be a problem in the firmware of the device. Once I got the app connected to the device, which was annoying, I used the app to turn off the second plug. It went from green to black, and then I lost my connection because it also turned off the third plug, which was powering my router. The first plug stayed green, and never turned off, so Plug-1 is independent, and Plug-2+3 may be tied together. If the problem is that the device or the firmware, then its either the app or user error. Its probably user error in my case, but if not, then the issue may be random, so just be prepared if it is. 5. My main reason for buying this Smart Plug was to monitor the electricity usage of my home entertainment system, so take the following with a grain of salt. Anyone who has ever taken a physics or electrical engineering class should know that the measurement for power in Watts is the total after multiplying Current in Amperes to Voltage, AC or DC, doesnt matter. The app is telling me that the current draw on the 3 switchable plugs, or maybe going into the device itself from the AC outlet, is 2200 milliAmps (2.2 Amps). It also shows that the voltage varies from 119.4 to 120.4 Volts AC, and the voltage seems to be fairly accurate since the power transformer is maybe 50 feet away from my home. However, and this makes no sense to me, but the app states that the Power being consumed is 189.1 Watts. Dumb it down, and 2 times 120 doesnt equal 189, so Im confused. Considering that the majority of AC Voltage devices designed and manufactured in China use an 85 VAC to 140 VAC range in their designs, which makes sense from an engineering standpoint, I cant help but wonder if some programmer didnt set 85 as a static value when writing the code to do the power calculation. Divide 189 by 120, and you dont get 2.2, so I have no idea where the device is getting its numbers and measurements from, but if the Power calculation is wrong, then obviously the KWh measurement wont be right either. Again, I simply want to monitor the power consumption of my home entertainment system, so I took off a star because I cant find any documentation to explain why Power doesnt equal Current times Voltage. Im also using two power strips in Switchable Plug 1 and Switchable Plug 3 because the plug spacing isnt sufficiently wide enough for typical 3-prong power cord male plug ends, so having Switchable Plugs 2+3 tied together is a bit irritating, but I didnt deduct any stars since I knew from reading the reviews to expect it. Otherwise, if I can get a few years of use out of the Smart Plugs, I think they are a good value, even with all their quirks. lol

> 3 dayProduct continues to auto shut off after about 10 15 min of being on. The company forced an update onto it and it now has lost the ability to control 3 separate plus it has now became one plug. The reason i bought this unit is to control several items on one plug. Also they told me that it needs a strong wifi signal to work. One is literally 1 foot from the router and losses wifi signal. The other is also in the same room about 5 feet away. If you enjoy you lights acting there is a ghost in your house feel free to purchase this productother wise i would search elsewhere.
