> 24 hourThis NSI Tork smart plug was easy to install and looked exactly as pictured. It can control 2 devices but right now we only have a lamp installed. Once we downloaded the app, It took 5 minutes to set up and link to Alexa. We already had the Alexa system but if you dont you will have to buy. I use it for a lamp and its as simple as Alexa, turn on living room light and it hasnt failed yet. Been about 1.5 weeks. I do notice there is a couple second delay but no big deal. I normally use it when I come into the house via voice, but its nice you can control remotely in case you need a light on when you are away from home.

> 24 hourSo, 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.

> 24 hourI do not have Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, so I cannot speak to how it integrates there. I do have Apple Homekit and a Lutron hub that handles my Z-wave devices. I have automated Lutron window shades and Sonos home audio. This is my first automated wall plug. It does not integrate with anything I currently have, so I had to download the Tork App. I have multiple 5ghz wifi routers in my home, but this device requires 2.4ghz. No big deal, but I had to make sure my phone was on 2.4ghz network that I wanted the device to pair to first. It was fairly easy to pair after that. On set up, turning on and off was simple. Could not figure out if there was any Siri integration. Doesnt appear so. Setting up scenes and automation was simple enough. I could not figure out the Random automation where I could make light come on randomly when away from home. Taking off a star because it doesnt integrate with Homekit or Smartthings, and requires its own app to control.

> 24 hourWe have so many brands of plugs like this one, and this one is awesome. It synced perfectly with Alexa and never has glitches like some others do. Easy to set up and I love that it’s two sided. We have two lamps plugged into it and it works like a charm. Highly recommend!

> 24 hourThis smart plug is one of the better ones that I’ve used. It’s a very easy setup and connects to Alexa with ease. I’m using it for the lamp in the living room so when we come home, just a simple command to Alexa and you have light. This is especially helpful when you have your hands full and unable to flip a light on. I’ve had not one issue since connecting it. Overall I think it works as it’s intended to and I would recommend.

> 24 hourThis 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.**

> 24 hourBoth sockets are on one controller, so Im not sure that I wouldnt rather have a smaller unit with only one socket. The app on the iPhone is easy enough to setup and use, but you need to create an account with them. Not sure why. No login and a smaller single socket design or ability to control each socket would have resulted in five stars.

> 24 hourI received this for free in exchange for my honest review. I am in the business of installing and setting up smart homes. I personally prefer to keep things as simple as possible, so I dont typically use all in one proprietary systems. I actually use products similar to this, that are controlled via a separate app, like Lutron, Leviton, TPlink, Insteon, Sonoff and more. They all work similarly to this. The instructions are pretty clear. Plug it in, push the button wait for the light to flash rapidly and connect to the app. Just be sure your system has a 2.4GHZ wifi as this plug and all the other ones I have ever used will only work on the 2.4ghz frequency. It may have an issue if you use a wifi system that has both the 2.4 and 5ghz networks named the same. I did not have that issue as I have my 2.4 and 5ghz networks named differently specifically for this reason. Here is the interesting part. This is basically a generic smart plug, meaning it can work in different software programs. Per the instructions they have you install their app Tork. The app is similar to any other generic smart plug app. you open the app, register, or login, and pair your device. I went through the directions just to be sure that it functions the way they say it should, and the setup went without too much trouble. I did have to reset the unit before it fully paired but that was my own fault as when pairing the app gave no indication it had found the device so while it was searching I reset the device and it had found it so it ended up cancelling itself out. not the apps fault but my own for being impatient. Once linked to the app, I could set up different functions for the device scheduled program, countdown timer, random function and repeat function. I can also see a history of the on off states. the setting screen lets you rename the device, check its network, create a group and check firmware. I also found that you can link it to alexa for voice control which works well. just add the smart home skill per the instructions and away you go. Since this is a more generic device, it also works with the Smart life app, and linking it in the app was basically the same as in the App that is made for it. I did not try to pair it with any other apps, but I may attempt to do so in the future. Simple to use, and it works just fine. This plug does not turn on each side independently, both sides switch on at the same time. Pretty much perfect for where you want two devices connected and able to turn both on and off at the same time. I myself use it for some side lamps and it works well. If you want a simple to use smart plug this is nice. it is also not as tall and bulky as some of the other ones out there and it only uses the half of a socket leaving the bottom or top plug on your socks free for another plug in. I can see you could have two of these stacked and they would fit fine. It also has the added benefit of having both plugs on the sides, making this a much slimmer option when it comes to plugging in things to it behind a couch or bed. I definitely feel this is a good product and well worth the value. I would definitely use more of these.
