Mini Smart Plugs and Smart Outlet Extender

I purchased this unit to be installed in our TV nich. This way I could remotely power on/off outlets as the regular plug is behind the tv and shelving system. Whenever I need to power down an item I can... The only downside at least for me is, it only seems to have remote/smart abilities on half the unit. I am fortunate enough that I dont need all of the outlets to be smart.

I was very excited for it but had to return it for a surge protector. The Bluetooth surge protector was more expensive, but I needed to make sure all my items were grounded. Maybe it would be best for small items but not something you’d want to possibly lose like a cell phone.

So, reviews are paid nowadays. So, Im staying away from sensationalized words. It was delivered in a bag in bubble wrap. It powered on. It synced. I agree with the price. Amazon is like a huge bargain bin. I got lucky.

I actually purchased this so I could turn a window AC unit off/on when I was not at home. I have 2 cats at home and our new rental heats up rather quickly. I could see the inside temp and if the unit was actually off or on thru my PetCube cam. It worked great! Fast-forward to a few days later and our fridge thermostat has gone out so this plug is keeping our fridge food from freezing using the schedule feature. I need more of these in my life!

No issues with it working, but set up was very difficult for me. It was hard to see the necessary blinking light during the pairing process. Once set up it works well.

The White-A model is always $2-3 cheaper than the White. The description seems the same, so I posted question to ask. I dont get any answer and decided to order both to check out myself. As you see from the pictures, the top is White-A and bottom is White. They are identical in size, color, function, packing and the printed model # on the back. Wondering why they are price different!!

First off, functionally I had no issues with this smart plug and has performed well in the time Ive had it. Aside from that, getting it to a point of being functional was quite a chore. The minimal documentation included was barely adequate but provided clues to setting up the app. Registration is required to do anything and if I were to rate that alone, it would be one star. Register on my phone? No. Register on my tablet? No. Register on my computer? Not quite. It actually took trial and error and then a combination to create an account. (I would think this would be the easy part so I would consider buying more of your product Gosund.) App installed (finally) and with that came the tedious task of actually connecting the smart plug to it. Again, documentation is quite poor. What it didnt tell me was that I had to be in near darkness in order to see the indicator blinking. Needless to say I wasted a lot of time trying to get the dang thing to blink in normal lighting conditions. Other things that the documentation doesnt tell you... you have more switches in the app than what are available on the device. I had 5 for a three outlet switch. (6 outlets but three are always on.) One of the extra is for all three switchable outlets and the other extra is to turn off the USB charging ports. And since it doesnt tell you which is which, its more trial and error for you to get the name right. The USB ports also have a light to indicate they are getting power but its only slightly more visible in normal lighting so if youre checking them, best do it in a dark room. Once connected, the app seems to work fine for turning the switches on/off. I would like to point out that the app appears to be one big, and quite unnecessary, advertisement. The plug functions are buried. somewhere.... and what appears to likely be a design error or change, the switchable plugs are on the right-hand side of the outlet (looking at it) and not on the left as the documentation and app depicts. Each switchable outlet has its own LED to indicate its on/off status. The LED on the non-switchable side never turns off. The app does have schedule and countdown capabilities like other smart plugs for remedial scheduling. In relative terms, it was fairly easy to add the skill to Alexa. While it was tedious, it was nowhere near as difficult as setting up the app. Be warned there are two places to change the names of the switches but you have to edit the name in the smart plug screen for Alexa to recognize the new name. (The other names are apparently ignored.) I have only done remedial on/off with Alexa at this time but it does function. Overall I will be avoiding Gosund products based simply on the poor app usability and documentation.

Great product

Great disainer

Does exactly what is expected of it. Have multiple Alexa timed items and several non smart items plugged into this surge and they work flawlessly.
