NSI Industries TORK WFIP2 Smart Dual Plug - Indoor Standard Wi-Fi 3-Prong 2 Outlets Plug - Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant - Remote Access with Smartphone/Tablet App - No Hub Required

So, this is a great little plug, but its mostly just one plug. The app works fine, but it turns the switch on or off, which means that both things thatre plugged in turn on or off, so you cant control them separately. Its fine if there are paired things youd want on at the same time--say, lights, or a TV and a soundbar--but that could be achieved just as easily by plugging a power strip into a single plug. Further, you need to download an app to use these, which is standard, but Im getting fatigued by having so many apps. I control them with google home mostly, but even still, I think Ill just stick to one brand going forward to make it simpler.

Im using the latest version of the Android software. It took a few tries, but when I used the Smart Life app (which I use for other smart plugs), things worked. Two critics who gave it three stars said that they did not like the fact that you cannot control things independently. They did not see the utility of having one device controlling two sockets. What a failure of imagination. I can see that some people could find that useful. For example, you might have two lights that you want to control together. So you either want them both on or both off always at the same time. Having it all controlled by one switch saves you the hassle of having to switch one and then the other off. Alexa, turn off light 1. Alexa, turn off light 2. This is better: Alexa, turn off my dual lights. So that would be a useful feature. Thats just one example. Another possibility is that theres a part of your house where you only have one plug available and you dont mind the two devices going on and off together. Example: your PC and your printer. Or your TV and your mood lighting.

This wifi plug works well with Google Home. I needed to download the vendors specific app, and put it onto my 2.4Ghz wifi network, then I could sync it with Google Home and so far it seems to work fine. Since this is a dual plug with the plugs on the sides, it does take more room than a single plug would -- just be sure you have enough room for it. It seems well made, but I will update this review if there any problems in the future. ** I received this in exchange for a review, but the review is based on my own experience with the product.**

BUYER BEWARE – This may not connect to your WIFI router. I have never had any problem connecting phones, tablets, TVs, computers and Amazon smart devices but this TORK Smart Dual Plug is a problem. Apparently, it will only connect if I go into the settings of my router and set it up to work at 2.4 GHz. And if I were to do that (which I cannot and will not do) then all of my existing devices would need to be reset. I counted and I have 14 devices using my router right now. What were these people thinking? Needless to say, it is going back. A few more comments: 1- The listing on Amazon should be changed to say it will only work on 2.4 GHz WIFI routers. 2- The instruction that came in the box were very confusing. Somewhat worthless. 3- The instructions on TORK’s web site are also of no value because they show a different plug that looks nothing like the Smart Dual Plug.

Work great, easy setup

I have had no issues with this NSi Industries TORK WFIP2 Smart Dual Plug, but I got it knowing what it could - and could not - do. This has two plugs that operate with one remote, so if youre looking for something where you can operate each plug separately, then youll need to look elsewhere at other products. This is perfect for items that you turn on and off simultaneously, such as two lamps in a room, etc. Its not intended to do anything more. You download their Tork app to get started, and you can use it with Google Home. Its super convenient for the times where you always use two items at the same time, and need them both to operate off or on as needed. I use it for two lamps that I always turn off and on at the same time, and it works every time. Again - not everyone with a Smart home will need this, so youll need to carefully consider if you have 2 items that you always want to operate at the same time. If not - keep looking. If so, this is an easy and simple solution for those of us that want to operate two things at once and dont need the plugs operating independently from each other.

I’ve tried a few of these WiFi outlets and this is definitely one of the better ones. It’s a pretty straightforward concept, plug in, pair, and configure to your liking. I had no issues with pairing and I got it to configured to some mood lights in our entertainment center. I’ve even been able to configure this with voice commands However the commands are pretty limited, mainly turn on and off. I’ve been unable to get it to dim. I would have loved the ability to integrate it with apple home app but I’ve been unable to. Overall, it’s a solid plug and works well with the apps it can configure to.

I have purchased 2 of your WFIP2 WI-FI SMART PLUG INSIDE DUAL RECEPTACLE but they operate differently... on one device I can control each plug independently and the other device controls both plugs at the same time. See picks. I have reach out to NSi Industries but no luck, ...on the other hand Smart Life customer service is great!

It is controlled by the Tork app. After a huge amount of effort, I finally got it to work. I did manage to get it to work with Google Home Assistant. After a few years of flawless use, it lost power or its memory setting and I had to reinstall everything over again. Now, Google Assistant will not recognize the Tork app. NSi does not exist on the internet any longer either. I wouldnt trust another Tork product.

They work okay, but why are they linked together. They can only turn on and off together, rather than being set up individually. I can see if someone wants to turn on/off lights at the same time, maybe, but you can do that with individual ones by creating a group. I just cant see a situation where this is better than two individual switched.
