Mini Smart Plugs and Smart Outlet Extender

Absolutely hate the app.

Want to make your home into a smart home, but you rent and dont want to install electrical switches and outlets? Then here ya go, but you already knew that so let me tell you its easy to set up on your phone. Easy to link to your smart speaker (I use a Google Mini on my G-Home account) and talk to Alexa or say Hello Google this outlet makes it work. And if you have a streaming stick, this Surge Protector has a USB port to save that plug as well. (one of them is Wi-Fi also) With your light bulbs and controller you can get your apartment voice control ready at a super low price point, and this is one of the tools that make it possible. I have two and want a third one for the kitchen.

Takes both wall outlets when plug in and when unplug out of it you need to hold on to it only held on by wall outlet (pic) usb not fast changing like old usb charging 5 w for iPhone and works with smart life app (pic) works great lets you know when it comes unplugged. The app they want to use never got it to work.

Im not really sure why but I keep having the issue where I find a light or fan or water pump is or isnt running when it should be. I use these to control aquarium and terrarium equipment and so far I havent had any catastrophic failures due to missed on/off timers but if you plan to use it and need it to be reliable I would possibly suggest a more expensive unit. I have moved all equipment that is critical off of these timers and onto the new casa power strips. Now I just deal with the frustrating fan that is running for 12hrs instead of 30min or the light that didnt turn off and ran all night long. Other than that it works most of the time.

It was a little tricky to figure out how to get it up and going. Once you do though, it is great. I like that there are several outlets that can be controlled separately. I also like that it has USB ports. Only problem is it won’t stay connected. I have it up and going, and running just fine, but the next day my echo tells me “Sorry, the hub the device lamps is connected to is not responding. Please check it’s network connection and power supply.” Then it won’t work until I reset it and repair it all over again. Then it works for one more day, and then the same issue. I give up. I’ve repaired it about 10 times now, after it being connected for less than 24 hours each time. The app says the device is offline, and is not nearby. It is one foot to my left away from me.

I had this product a little over a month. Past the return window and the Wifi connection no longer works! Meaning it wont connect to wifi so each outlet does not turn off or on through the app on my phone. Now Im stuck with just a power strip. I have plenty of those, I need the Wifi which is why I purchased this. Dont expect the wifi connection to last long if you are considering in buying this.

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.

Only work on 2.4ghz wifi. Other than that they were pretty nice.

I got this product to go behind my plant cabinet as I plan on adding a fan and a humidifier to create the perfect environment for all my plants. After a couple of attempts I was able to connect this power strip to the app AND I was able to get a timer set so that I don’t have to worry about turning my lights on and off from inside the cabinet. It does take up two outlets, but I’m fine with that because the other outlet didn’t work anyway. Hope this helps someone make their decision about this product because it’s worth every penny of the investment.

Muy buen producto funciona muy muy
