> 3 daySomeone gifted me one for our bearded dragon’s cage lights and it works amazing. This is the reason why I bought this one for our other bearded dragon. It does take forever to figure out how to set it up even with the instructions but once you get it going, it is great to be able to manipulate through your phone.

> 3 dayGet the 4 pack. First one set up quick and easy. The other 3 for some reason decided to not want to work so well. After giving up the first night and trying again the 2nd day, they finally started showing up in the setup process. No problems since then.

> 3 dayI purchased these quite some time ago with the intent of utilizing them on lights in my boutique that I have to manually turn on and off. I wanted the Alexa integration to put them on a timer or a command. I tried on several attempts to connect these when first received and they would always time out and not work. It was so frustrating. The manual also doesnt give clear instructions on which plug you are to choose when utilizing the app. I moved to a new building and took another chance so these could work as intended. It took several tries (and curse words) but I FINALLY got them paired and they are now working on a schedule.

> 3 dayI like the fact that I can handle a lot more devices power wise, but the Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping. So I can’t depend on it in my Automated household.

Greater than one weekIt took me a couple of days to get the bugs worked out, but now that I’ve done that they’re working perfectly. By the way, they do allow you to program a light to turn on and off multiple times a day.

> 3 dayWanted something that could control our non-smart bulb lamps. These were the right choice to go with, easy to pair with our wifi and alexia. Definitely a set and forget item. Have had zero problems with them since we installed them.

> 3 dayI bought my first Echo (the original) in February 2016 and (anticipating smart home use) ordered a couple of then available WiFi plugs at the same time. Those were from an American company and are still in service. The problem was that they were too large and they did not have high wattage capacity. I recently bought an air fryer but, while it was not cheap, it had no on/off switch and each time I used it I was obliged to unplug it...very uncool design. So I bought one of these switches to use as an on/off switch for that appliance. The challenge was finding a WiFi switch that would handle the current. The fryer is rated at 1700 watts..yeah, I know thats not current...and these switches are rated at 1875. So I took the plunge. I bought a pair and I use the other one with a radiator-type space heater in my den (1500 watts). They are both working very well with these switches. But thats not all, the switches were the easiest to set up of the (now 15) switches I have in the house AND they automatically connect to Echo/Alexa. They can be switched on/off physically by pushing a button, or with the phone app, or by commands to Alexa...Perfect !! So of all the switches Ive bought in the past four years, these are (surprisingly) the best...also much cheaper than their domestic counterparts. If my opinion of them should change, I will make an addendum to this review, but at this point I am totally satisfied...great value, ease of use, AND high wattage capacity. 7/8/21 Addendum: Just bought #3. All of the above still applies. Im using it on a large fan which has high start-up current but moderate running current. The plug is working just fine with it...both from iPhone & from Alexa. Still the best value in a plug that does not require a separate HUB to function.

> 3 dayThis is an update to my original review. I have seen in the questions and answers section that many people have problems with this device. They say things like “there is no timer, I couldn’t get it to work, it’s useless I put it in a drawer.” I will be 77 yrs old in April and I installed it and it is an amazing device. For a timer function you must download an app, on an iPhone, from the App Store. The one I use is Smart Life. The timer function is truly unbeatable. To install this you need, as stated in the device description, a 2.4 GHz network on your router. Many routers, such as mine, are dual band. No problem. If your router has only 5 GHz, I have seen on YouTube there is a way to cause the router to default to 2.4 GHz. I cannot attest to that, so take it with a grain of salt. If you have access to 2.4 GHz and use the correct WiFi password during setup you should have no trouble using this smart socket.

> 3 dayI have bought 2 sets of 4 plugs and 3 of the first 4 were an easy set up but the 4th is not working. Ordered another set of 4 and the first one I tried to set up is still not working.
