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

Work great, easy setup

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.

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.

This is perfect for something like turning on and off two nightstands as this has two outlets. It also is three pronged, for devices that have a ground connection. This does require to setup an account under the Tork app. I was able to link it to my Google home and create a name to turn it on and off. Nice wifi outlet that doesnt take up very much room.

The first thing you have to know going into this is that this is ONE remote outlet with two plugs. That is, it offers two places to plug in and control as one unit, and not independently like some multi-outlet WiFi plugs. I have a pair of plug in light fixtures above my living room book shelf that are the main lights for that room. In the past, I used a timer with an extension cord so that I could have two plugs (one for each fixture) coming out of the single outlet. With this, I can easily plug both fixtures directly into the smart plug which eliminates the mess of wires that used to be required behind the shelves. As long as you go into this knowing what it is (dual plugs attached to one remote control), I think you will be happy with the performance of this product. If you need two independently controlled outlets, this isnt the product for you. For me and my setup, it works well.

This thing is great and works as advertised. Setup was super easy, the instructions are a little light, but you dont need a whole lot. One bit of advice is it says to hold the button for 30 seconds to reset it and the light will blink. When I first turned it on the light was already blinking so I thought I was good. Not so much, I couldnt get it to recognize at first. It was blinking green only when I first turned it on. Once I held the button for 30 seconds the light flashed greed and red at the same time, and I was able to proceed and finish setting it up. The whole process took about 10 minutes including getting it out of the box, and 3 or 4 minutes of that was waiting on it to download and install a firmware update. The App works OK, I didnt/dont use it once setup is complete. It was easy to add to google and I can control it with google just fine. I did not try Alexa (sorry Amazon) but I expect it would be just as easy. Be aware that the two outlets are switched together. Thats exactly what I wanted, so just be aware of that. In my particular case I use it to turn off/on my AV receiver in the basement that loses sync with the TV every now and then. It works great for that. Being a piece of AV equipment I was a little worried about noise and if the device had enough power capacity. Turned out theres nothing to worry about. It handles a large AV receiver just fine and does not add any noise to the circuits. (Im super picky about that.) All in all its inexpensive and does what it says with no fuss. Thats a win. Oh the picture above is the device in the google home app. Dead simple.

I have 2 lamps sitting on our Fake Fireplace with unsightly cords that had to hang along the sides because that is where the controls were located. Now I can hide the cords and just say “Alexa – Turn-on fireplace lights” and with her pleasant little voice she say’s “Okay” and it’s done! Not only that, I have 3 plugs with only 1 outlet on that wall so this was the ideal solution. They weren’t too hard to set up although AP mode was easier for some reason. The plug is sturdy and doesn’t stick out too far and still allows for another large 3 prong in the same 2 plug outlet. I’m actually going to purchase another one for a console table I have with dual lamps. You can’t beat this plug for this type of lamp where you have to fish around the cords to find the controls. Love it!

This really helped me in my home automation. I wanted to automate our bedside lamps, but the way I was doing it robbed me of outlets. I need to plug in the lights, the USB charger, the variety of other things that want to be recharged overnight. This freed up an outlet, I plugged both lights in, and has another available wall light, and a single unit managing the bed lamps. Setting up and configuration was easy. But do think about names carefully. My lamp was called John. Which worked perfectly. Until I heard my daughter saying Alexa, turn on John. That was not a good place to be. Dad would have been at least as bad. My light is now his my wifes light is named hers. Always think before you name things :)

This was very easy to set up and get running. We have been using it for over a week now with absolutely no issues. It is great being able to turn the lights on before pulling into the driveway.

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.
