Smart Plug Mini 15A, WiFi Smart Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home Assistant, Remote Control with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL Certified, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4-Pack

Easy wifi, iPhone, and Alexa integration. I bought 8 for my Christmas window candles. It was easy to create a Christmas light “group”. They are on a timer and it’s so cool how great they come on and off at the same time!!! Easy to rename and use elsewhere after Christmas.

I 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.

Trying for hours and could not get Leviton switch to work after outage. Ordered this and plugged it in and it connected immediately.

The smart plugs are working fine now but the set up was difficult and the documentation poor. 4 of the 6 plugs would not work with their Auto Scan set up and had to be added manually. That wasnt difficult but the documentation was not good so there was some trial and error. Also, where you have to select the model of smart plug there are about 8-10 choices and none of the info listed matched what was printed on the plugs. Again, poor documentation, mismatched information. Two phones could not scan the QR codes on the devices so that was not an option for set up. Needs work.

Have 3 setup to control the lights in my house works great with Google. Even gave them funny names donest really mater to how they function but it makes me have a laugh so I love it. Amazing stuff even had one for my Christmas tree nice to watch you tree light up when you walk in.

There are about 8 different “Smart Life” apps in the AppStore. All seem to do the same thing. Possibly the hardware is sold under different names. Ultimately I scanned the QR code which took me to Tuya.com, and I downloaded their version of the app. No mention of Tuya in the docs and no mention of HBN in the app. Setup - it was not obvious how to get past the screen where you confirm the flashing LED. The “next” button isn’t highlighted... you have to tap the tiny line of text that says “confirm....” Also, the illustrations in the app don’t match the plug. The app shows an LED on the face of the unit; in reality it is inside the button on top. So is my unit older or newer than the app?? Once set up the modules are very easy to use, with no issues so far. They boot up much more quickly than WeMo modules (and are less than 1/4th the price.) Recommended.

I like the size of these plugs. Not super bulky and in the way of other plug in outlets

Once I got these working, they are great. I got 3 out of 4 working. The problem is when pairing, the light is suppose to flash, but if it is it isnt noticeable. On two of them, I said it was flashing even though I could not see it and I managed to get them hooked up. On the last one, I finally gave up after trying over 25 times. Why do most of these things say, it will flash blue, or green, but it is usually in red. Another problem with all smart plugs, why cant you design for two to work on one wall receptacle.

This was 1000% amazing. I bought it in January, and it died in April. When I unplug it from the wall I hear somethings loose inside like it broke. It worked yesterday and then it just didn’t. However this is such an amazing product that I ordered another one. Since I gave the review the Company reached out to me and offered a full refund. I’m more than happy to try it again because it really is a great product.
