OHMAX Smart Plugs That Work with Alexa, Google Home, and Smart Life Apps (4 Pack)

The product will only function on 2.5 ghz WI-FI. Most homes (myself included) with new equipment will have 5 ghz WI-FI rendering the product useless. They do provide directions on how to “split bands” on your router to create two separate WI-FI networks in your home, one at 5ghz and one at 2.5 GHz. However, this is not recommended by my service provider (Xfinity) and resulted in massive performance issues to the point where I had to reverse the settings back to normal in order to have a connection good enough for work. Don’t buy this product if you have standard 5 GHz WI-FI.

Quick easy setup with Smart life app that I am already using with the original round plugs (prevented using second outlet). These allow use of the second outlet.

easy to install

I wanted to have outlets the turn on and off based on some complex conditions. I like the Smart Life app so the ability to use these with the Smart Life app was one reason I chose them. I was also able to use these with IFTTT, and I found that creating Smart Life Scenes and controlling and combining them through IFTTT applets provided the complex control I was looking for. But if you just want to have them turn on and off at certain times that works great, too! The other reason I chose these was because other people said they recover well after a loss of power or Internet connectivity. As it happens I had to take my Internet down for maintenance recently and the outlets did recover without any need for me to reset them or do anything. I have found these outlets flexible and reliable, and I am completely satisfied with them.

I was able to add these plugs in EZ mode using Smart Life without any problems. I didnt even have to break my mesh network into separate SSIDs to ensure it negotiated for the 2.4ghz connection. That feat shouldnt be amazing but over the past year this is the third set of supposedly standards compliant smart plugs Ive worked with and these actually connected and didnt waste my time downloading and learning a new app, troubleshooting through all the hoops to troubleshoot, breaking my mesh network, and generally being inconvenienced only to find they still wont connect. These gosund smart plugs just worked. Outstanding! The flat top, though initially a space consuming drawback, is also nice as I can rest my phone on top while it pairs with my wifi and smart home environment. Thank you gosund!

bought these casue they said smart home.. but these are gosund app devices. i did have the gosund app on my phone but like the smart home app better. i had no problem programming them and having them hooked up to Alexa. i would buy them again.

I got these to control some items that plug in behind books on a bookshelf. I downloaded their app to get started, but I could never get the device to connect. However, it is a Smart Life device, so I thought I would try their app. It already controls a few lights in the house, so it is more convenient for me to use that app anyway. With Smart Life, it does recommend switching the router from 5G to 2.4G (same as their native app). My router is supposed to switch, so I skipped this step. It had me change the wifi from my default router to the Smart Life Wifi and just a few clicks later, I was up and running. To add to Alexa, I also used the Smart Life option. It is now controllable by voice. The Smart Life app also has a toggle button to turn it on and off and the unit itself has a physical button. The app also works with timers and you can have it send a notification when the timer routine has been executed. I didnt find the routine to be perfectly synced with the phones clock, though. It took anywhere from a ten seconds to 40 seconds for the routine to complete. Not a big deal if you are setting it to turn on lights when you arent home or that kind thing. All in all, I am very pleased with these. They work great with Alexa or the Smart life app, which is exactly why I wanted them.

Works well with the Alexa app. Easy set up. Good range as I have them working with outside lights quite a distance from my house. Thank you.

Easy set up and functional. I’m pleased.

Its nice to be able to control some outlets when you are not around. If you still use light switches to outlets there is a delay turning on since it has to reconnect to internet.
