Programmable Smart WiFi Thermostat Plug Outlet, Wireless Electric Plug-in Temperature Controller with App Remote Control. Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant

I bought this to control a through the wall fan between living room and bedroom, move warmer air into the bedroom when temp drops below 67F or so. It works well for this. Off a degree or two but easy to compensate. The issue was the hit and miss owner manual. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to simply make the temp show in F instead of C. I succeeded only after finding this information in the Amazon listing. Beyond that, the instructions read like “push a button (there are two) three times then hold the “other button” for 10 seconds, then push a button three times, then stand on your head and make a noise like a chicken”. It took me an hour of frustration. I copied this information by a screen shot from the product listing. FINALLY i got it working. UPDATE 2/23: It does what it’s supposed to. BUT IT SUCKS BATTERIES. 6-maybe 8 weeks from a pair of alkaline AAA transmitter batteries. The transmitter doesn’t require reprogramming on a battery change. AAA batteries are inexpensive. Just sort of a nuisance to change them 2-3-4 times every winter. Leave the receiver plugged in. That way you won’t. Need to re-pair from scratch on a battery change.

I got the Wifi version, ordered 2 of them. One of them works very well, the other doesnt power on at all, a complete dud. The one that works was easy to pair with the Smart Life App and it works with Alexa as well. Amazon says theyre sending a replacement for the dead one and it should be here tomorrow. Im using them (well, one of them right now) to control 2 5,000 btu window air conditioners (and probably 1,000w heaters in the winter.) Make sure you dont exceed 1,100w, thats all it can take, and unfortunately most space heaters are 1,500w. Luckily, most 5k btu air conditioners only use like 400-500w on high. One criticism is that, if the unit is off, Alexa cant change the temperature setting. You have to tell her to turn it on first, then tell her to change the temp. I hope the replacement for the dud works. Well see tomorrow.

Easy to use, works well, just not for what we needed it for. We were going to plug a space heater in with it that doesnt have a temperature control, but it didnt seem to support it. Used fine with other lights and such, though. We did find a use for it, so at least there is that.

This worked exactly as described. I do wish it had better temperature difference between off and on.

This is my second one because the first one lasted a year before the piece that plugs in overheated and shorted out. Bought this to replace it and even with full batteries, the remote on the new one has to be right next to the receiver to get the signal. Not Very remote on this new one.

East to use And very nice product

Exactly what I needed. We have a window unit that will not turn off once it cycles into the cooling mode. Something with the thermostat switch. So, we bought this device in hopes it will cycle the ac unit off and on when needed. And it does exactly that. Totally worth it.

Works good when set up but the thermostat is flimsy and difficult to program. Programming is frustrating and almost sent it back for that reason. Thermostat dropped from 1 foot to a counter top and came apart and wiped out its programming, then you have to go through it all again. Once you get it set only adjust it up and down, it is so flimsy you will need to protect the thermostat life a snowflake.

Maybe mine was a defect. Everything worked great but the plug always felt loose. Anything I would plug into it, it just didnt feel like it would grab. I tried bending the prongs but didnt help. Eventually it melted and I had to put it out of commission. Sucks because it was a great product. I was ready to buy about 4 more.

I have an electric fireplace used as a space heater in the winter, but it doesnt have a built-in thermostat. I plugged it into the Hycency outlet, paired the remote, dialed in a setpoint, and placed the remote close to my workspace. It regulated the temperature of the room nicely, switching the fireplace on and off as needed. I should note the first unit I bought arrived with a damaged LCD on the remote, but Amazon swapped the whole unit out quickly and easily. Great performance for the price!
