> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThey 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.

> 3 dayBoth 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.

> 3 dayThis NSi Industries TORK WFIP2 Smart Dual Plug was easy to set up, and has been working perfectly. Most wi-fi plugs only have one plug, but this one has two, which is great if you have more than one appliance that you want to control, but the problem is that you cant work each independently. It would be much nicer if each plug was independent. Still, simple set up, and I can work two lights at once, which is handy.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

Greater than one weekBUYER 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIt 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.

> 3 dayThis 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.
