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

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.

The smart plugs from OHMAX (or OHMAXX, depending on what part of the product page youre on) are actually Gosund-branded plugs. Thats a pretty big piece of information to leave off the page, especially since you will need to download the Gosund app (not the SmartLife app as the page states) to integrate these with your existing smart home setup. I found the Privacy Policy and End-User License Agreement to be overly dense, but overall seem pretty standard. It is worth point out that by agreeing to the terms you agree that any disputes will be adjudicated in a specific Chinese courtroom; I mean that literally, as in a specific room number in a specific court building at a specific address in Shenzhen, China. I dont anticipate ever having to end up in that situation but the sheer specificity of it stood out to me. They are very reasonably priced between $22-$28 for a pack of four depending on when you catch it, which means youre paying about $8-$9 for each plug. At that price point, as long as they work, theyre worth the price of admission, which is a big part of my rating. I had to reset the plug several times while trying to get my Alexa to talk to it, but eventually I got them together, and theyve worked wonderfully since.

These units worked right out of the box. Easy to install and easy to add or delete one of the units. I would recommend this unit highly.

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.

I had a great deal of difficulty getting into the app. It wanted me to sign up through various methods, and the Sign up using Apple ID would just sit and spin without any result or error. I finally had to sign up through email, and even that took a few tries to go through. After that, everything else was a breeze. This price for 4 outlet switches is very reasonable. I also like that you can set timers to be on and/or off, and the app does not have to be open for the timers to go off when they are scheduled. It looks like there are some automation setups that can be done as well, but havent explored those. Really handy for turning on lights or a small space heater.

I already have eight of the round-type Gosund smart plugs (and a ton of their light switches) and keep finding more uses for them so needed more. But, I wasnt able to find Gosund brand on Amazon this time so ordered these in hopes theyd work with my Gosund app as I dont want a ton of different apps for my plugs. Lo and behold, I received Gosund plugs (says Gosund on the box and units)! Awesome. Set-up was easy and fast and I like that I can now put two in a standard outlet (could only do one with the old round style). Long-term use with Gosund (I have gosund plugs, light switches, and light switches with dimmers): All work great with Alexa and the phone app, have settable timers (on/off times) and the original ones I bought two years ago still work great. As theyre on my wifi, I can turn my lights on/off from anywhere in the world. Thats handy when my dog is outside and Ill not be home before dark as I can go on the app and turn an outside light, connected to a gosund light switch, on for him. I also use the timer on one of these to turn my outside Christmas lights on/off at set times every day. And, of course, I can walk into a room and ask Alexa to turn on/off a named light (or coffee maker, if plugged into one of these plugs)... The only issue Ive found is once or twice a year theyll all lose their wifi/app connection and Ill have to go around an reset/reconnect each plug. It only takes ~30sec/plug but, thats a pain when you have ~15 units to reset. Overall, I recommend these and will never go back to the old-school timers/switches. Get these and Ill bet youll want more after trying them.

Ive used all sorts off smart plugs, these were a deal and I bought them to use for various things such as laptops etc... 1st off, i cant get it to link up to alexa, the app is garbage and it is spamming me with all sorts of ADs such as deals on products. I want to throw these out, they are useless. I had them for over 30 days but decided to write about them since its been annoying me, to let people know that these arent good. TP-Link and etekcity were some of my favorite ones that I didnt have any problems with. Stay away from GOSUND it bad hardware.

These are easier to connect than the last I used. They connected to Alexa almost immediately

I used this to remotely power on my fan in the garage. I will be using this throughout the house when Im on vacation. Youll need wireless in your house to use this product. The price is decent.

Love these little guys once paired in able to unplug them and not need to set up again range is good app is ultra easy to use and understand there is no schedule that can’t be created the over current warning is a great feature I have no need to ever unplug an appliance again I’m setup to charge at night during off peak hours I love these pods
