PORIK SP01 Smart Plug That Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant & SmartThings, WiFi Outlet with Remote and Voice Control, Smart Socket with Timer & Schedule, No Hub Required (1-Pack)

I got these to be lazy. I use it for my lamp. Now I dont have to get up to turn the lamp off. Im going to try it on my greenhouse lights, so I can turn them on from anywhere.

This is my second pack of these plugs they are great to add to normal devices that you might want to turn on without going near it while it is powering on. I use these for my exercise bike, my 3D printers, and even my air compressor in my basement. I can turn them on and get things started so I don’t have to wait right next to them for them to complete their start up routines. The only problem I always have with these smart plugs is they only use 2.4 GHz and not 5 GHz. I have my network running both 2.4 & 5 GHz using the same Wi-Fi name so I always end up having issues connecting only to the 2.5GHz on my phone and the plugs. So here is my work around that might help you if you are having connection issues like I do. Temporary rename your 5 GHZ network on your router and leave just the 2.4GHz network the original network name. That way when you connect to the 2.4GHz network with your phone or other device and then complete the setup normally. After the setup is completed you can go back and rename the 5GHz network back to the original network name and everything will work as normal.

These are easy to set up and work good. great buy at bulk price. Recommend.

Easy setup. Works great.

This works with generic apps like SmartLife, which is great. I can configure my temperature probe (also SmartLife compatible) to turn on and off fans at different temperatures. Setup was the typical process and not eventful. It just works. I will update this review if that changes, but for now, I can recommend it.

Even after you set it up with Smart Life and connect it still will not hook to Smartthings. This is not compatible. If that is what you are looking for do NOT BUY

This works nicely with Alexa and Echoes, and the price is great. The setup is easy, but I wanted this to control a bedside lamp. The problem was that this is so large that combined with the lamp plug, I have to move the nightstand a good two inches further away from the wall than it was before. I will put a flat plug on the lamp, but it will still be further than I wanted. Other than that and in use for items where there are no space constraints, it works very well. We also were able to use it on a lamp that plugs into our media cabinet and it works great from inside an enclosed cabinet. I wish that they were a bit smaller but still a very good set to purchase. Review of: PORIK SP01 Mini Smart Plug

The app you need to use doesnt exist

Needed four of these for lamps. Set up the first one without a hitch so I know what Im doing. Ive set up dozens of these before. All downhill after that. The other three are trash. Followed the directions to the letter and they wont connect. Waste of money and time.

These are not the first Porik mini smart plugs I’ve ordered. I have four of these configured to control old-school electric fans in my home. They are so handy and easy to use that I decided I needed a couple more for fans in other rooms. Not only do these turn the appliances on and off (when summer is over, I’ll probably use them for other appliances and non-smart lamps), but you can set timers or schedules with them. I already had the Osaio app on my phone and tablet, so this was easy enough. I did have a bit of difficulty adding these two new WiFi plugs when my tablet was connecting through my WiFi extender. I may have had the same difficulty last time. I changed to the main network router, made sure the new plugs were in visual range of the router, and also, as the manufacturer recommends, kept the device with the app pretty close (within about a yard) to the smart plugs. That worked easily. Once they’re recognized/registered, you can move them to more distant outlets within the range of your WiFi. The app recommended that I update the firmware on the plugs once they were recognized, which was quick and easy. You can initially name the plugs through the app, and when I placed them in the outlets where I’ll be using them, I renamed them so I knew what they were controlling. I’ve included a number of screen captures. The Osaio app is good—not all manufacturer WiFi apps are great, but I’ve never had a problem with this one. That said, I also use Google Home to control these plugs because it consolidates my smart bulbs, too. So when I’m done for the night and getting into bed, I use Google Home to power down everything—though sometimes I use the timers on one or two of these plugs to keep the fans going for another hour or two. I’ve just become addicted to the smart home devices and these Porik plugs work really well. The app, as mentioned, is a good one; the size of the plugs is compact (though if you have these in a standard outlet, you’re not going to be able to plug anything huge in the outlet above or below it—but there are ways around that, like an extension cord for the other thing); and these are priced VERY reasonably. My home keeps getting smarter. I wish I could say the same for myself. Though… these are a very SMART purchase
