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

I got these for automating some sump pumps and also Christmas lights. Setup was a breeze with the Smart Life app to connect to wifi, set schedules and an ifttt program. Only complaint is that the WiFi plug is so big itll block the other outlet on the wall unless its not a grounded cord youre trying to plug in.

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

Works good

I just got a 4-pack of this model for $20. I see theyre now down to $17, so its hard to pass them up ... theyre so cheap! Despite the low price, Im still disappointed. I read a lot of the Q&A on Amazon, and learned nothing. There are a LOT of conflicting answers there (and a lot of people who waste your time saying I really dont know). I could not find any comprehensive FAQ on the manufacturers website. So it was really a matter of buying a pig in a poke. Be that as it may, I decided to get the 4-pack and experiment. They got here quickly and in good condition. So I started experimenting. First, the manual in the box has tiny print --- I literally needed a magnifying glass. And the illustrations are blurry (even with the glass). I found an online PDF manual, and its exactly the same. Even if I view it at 200% on my PDF reader, the images are still so blurry that I cant make out what they are showing. I tried to work my way through the procedure anyway... I installed the app on my phone. Its a few steps and takes several minutes, but the instructions in the app are MUCH better than the printed manual. I was able to get the plug to communicate with my phone using my 2.4GHz home network. So far, so good. I can manually turn the plug on and off from the phone. The countdown function seems to be OK. There is a timer function, but entering the data is really laborious. I created a schedule with 4 or 5 times & commands, and it seemed to work OK. But when I went further with testing, I discovered something very unsatisfactory. If you remove power from the plug (e.g. a power blink during a storm, an outage of several minutes, whatever, when you restore power to the plug, it goes to an ON state. That is true even if it was OFF when it lost power. That is true whether it was turned OFF by a manual command, by the timer, or by the countdown function. In every case, if the plug was off, then lost power, when power came back the plug always turned ON. This is bad! Inconvenient at least, and maybe in some cases dangerous at worst. I had hoped to use these in a rather specialized kind of security application, but now its obvious that I cant because they are not reliable to stay in the correct state. Thats why I say they can be used for hobby application, but NOT for anything serious. (Imagine if youre out of town for a week, and on the second day the power blinks ... when power comes back the plug turns on, the coffee maker turns on, boils dry, and burns up. Or the plug turns on a space heater, which the cat has knocked over, and it starts a fire. The (bad) possibilities are endless. The listing says this can do something with Bluetooth. Honestly, I dont know what. I did not try it, because (a) reading the manual is a pain, and (b) this plug is NOT acceptable for my application (or any serious application). The listing says you can control the plug, via internet, from anywhere in the world. Again, I didnt try it ... didnt even try it from the corner coffee shop. Same reason: not acceptable for any serious use. A good smart plug would always remember its former state, check for any schedule or countdown, and THEN decide whether to turn off or on when power is restored. This plug isnt really smart. Its more like a dull normal plug. I would not plug ANY appliance into one of these, simply because that appliance will turn ON any time theres a brief blink in your AC power. VERY BAD. Hey, if you want a $5 toy, go for it. If you want to sit in the bathroom and turn the living room lights on and off, go for it. More power to you ... whether you want it or not.

Had an issue with my first plug. Customer service replaced it very quickly. Second plug works perfect. App is easy to set up and use.

Someone 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.

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.

I bought a single pack back in October to use for a strobe light during halloween - I found it was VERY easy to setup and schedule. Integrating with with Alexa was a breeze as well. I tried an Amazon brand plug when it was on sale, but had nothing but issues with it. On top of the Amazon plug not responding, I didnt like having to go-to the Alexa App for that plug and SmartLife for the other - 2 different apps depending on the plug I was controlling was annoying, so I bought a 2-pack of the HBN plugs and now have 3 of these. I use 2 of them to control the lights on my two fish tanks, and the other will be a holiday plug - CURRENT-ly; get it, current :-); I have it turning my Christmas tree lights. Pairing and setting up a schedule in the Smart Life app (just make sure you switch your phone to the 2.4GHz network or it wont see the plug). There are a lot of simple schedule options - have a planted tank that has a scheduled times to be ON and OFF so the plants to get enough light. My other tank has no plants, so too much light would lead to algae - so I have setup so that Alexa can turn it on demand, and set multiple times that turn the lights OFF if my kid, wife, or even myself (Mostly my kid) didnt turn them back off. And at any time I just ask my Echo Show, Alexa, or google phone assistant to turn on the fish tank lights, or turn off the Christmas Tree :-)

I needed a way to turn off my bedroom lamps, which I can’t reach well from bed. I’m of an older generation less well-versed in modern options, so I googled lamps that turn on and off with clapping. (Shoutout to fellow children of the ‘80s.) This smart plug came up in searches and I thought, well, duh. I bought two and they work great. I had no trouble setting them up with the app on my iPhone 13. They’re easy to use and the app is seamless. I’ll consider this brand again when I need more smart devices.

After posting my original review below the company was quick to contact me. They sent me 4 new products which work great. They continued to follow up with shipping updates and I did not need to do anything. Great response time and customer service. I purchased a box of 4 of these a few months ago. I had not had a great use for them as of yet as I was just getting things set up with my Alexa at home. Today when I tried to set them up I discovered that none of the 4 work at all. When I plug them in the light turns on for a few seconds and then goes off. The on/off switch on all 4 do not work at all and therefore you can not set up the device. I then looked at some recent reviews to see if others were having the same problem in case I could trouble shoot to fix it myself and discovered others also received some that do not work at all. I am very disappointed.
