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

My router does not let me choose between 5 GHz or 2.5 GHz. Make sure yours does before you order this. I didn’t read the product description well or check my router in advance- trying to help others not make those mistakes. Gave 4 stars since it wasn’t their fault, but I wasn’t able to use it and properly review it.

OK, I have not tried to make this work, but I am already lost. The first instruction in the tiny, confusingly layout manual that I was reading (with a magnifying glass) is: if you cant read (this tiny) manual, to go online and download the manual in pdf. I did that, and after 10 minutes of searching the site found a video on how to make this thing work. WOW! I cant hear as fast as the instructor is talking. Understand, I have been in the electronics field for 40 years. But this video is baffling. It shows things so fast that I gave up watching it. I will try to read the manual and update my review soon. UPDATE: OK, I downloaded and started reading the pdf manual. Set up was not as bad as I anticipated. I downloaded the third party app then linked with the Alexa Skill app. Things work fine. My biggest complaint is that shape of the plug. It can only fit one plug into a dual outlet - and it is surprising how many outlets are oriented the wrong way for using the plug.

I’m so excited receiving this. I bought another smart plug from this seller and it was great. However, two of the plugs won’t work. I mean they won’t connect to wifi no matter what I do. The other two are working perfect fine so I’m guessing maybe these two are defects. I could’ve give five stars if the two plugs are working.

Once it was programmed it worked ok but it was difficult to download

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 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.

Good product. Handles AC & washing machine. No problem. Excellent connectivity. Great price. A+

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.

Let me start out by saying that all I ever wanted was to be able to tap a button on my G7 Android to be able to turn on or off a lamp without having to fumble around with a switch or knob in the dark or travel back into a room I was just in for the sole purpose of turning off the lights. I assumed I could use my phones bluetooth to create a direct signal between devices in close proximity the way my phone and bluetooth speakers do without involving any third or external party. It would appear that I was mistaken about that. All the devices that I could find seem to want to force me to use wi-fi or dual wi-fi/bluetooth with Google Home or Alexa. I also learned that some kind of hub, whatever the hell that is, seems to be essential as well. That being established, heres my review. Installation took a few tries. First of all, I had to disable the 5g part of my wi-fi, a PITA in and of itself. This whole 2.4g only situation is just flat out stupid. Kudos and thanks to the reps at Comcast for helping me with this. Then, once I figured out that powered off meant the blue light was on and figured out the difference between between blinking slowly and rapidly as well as discovered the plug has to be removed from the outlet for a few seconds after each unsuccessful installation attempt, I was able to get the wi-fi working but I still dont completely understand how I did it and couldnt really explain it if my life depended upon it. Interestingly enough, once the installation was complete, the plug worked fine when the 5g was re-enabled. Bluetooth, however, was a completely different story. First of all, the bluetooth instructions are vague and seem incomplete. Theres something about blinking lights and the HBN app finding BLE devices. It was never able to find the plug. I dont know if the plug was supposed to somehow be switched to bluetooth mode or some kind of hub is required as seems to be the case with Google Home for bluetooth to work, but both the HBN app and Google Home were never able to find the plug using bluetooth. Both work fine with wi-fi which, at the moment, is workable but not preferable. The physical dimentions of this plug limit where it can effectively be used. It cant be used in the bottom section of a typical two-plug outlet without blocking the upper socket. Any sockets directly to the left and right, such as on a power strip, will also be blocked. If anyone can tell me if a bluetooth-only smart plug or bulb that will work with my Android without some kind of third party like a router or hub the way my speakers do exists, I would love to hear about it or an explanation as to why such a beast doesnt...as well as exactly what a hub is and why its needed. - [email protected]
