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 dont like how these only work with Alexa and its not easy to get programed...but also, Im a little technology challenged sometimes. But the ones Ive got to use with Geeni work much easier.

Ok. After we got our tree up the power button ended up being at the back of the creed. Made It very difficult to turn lights on and off . Decided to buy another power plug to plug lights in so we could use Alexa to turn lights on smd off. It worked just like we expected. We were already using one for our living room light. Do It only made sense to use It for the Christmas tree lights lights also. Worked like a charm. My grandchildren could put the lights on and off. When they wanted.

Havent been able to use with 5G internet

So versatile! I have 3 different vehicles with block heaters, one at a different residence. (One is actually a different model for outside use.) It’s super easy to adjust on off time, or just start and set a timer to shut off for one-off use. Useable for any place with wifi; no more manual digital timers except for back up. Easy to set up Easy to program Remote operation! Different models all displayed together with Smart Life app. These only work with 2.4 GHz wifi, both networks I have them on our fortuitously set on 2.4G. 4-pack is ridiculously cheap, glad I got them.

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.

The instructions that come with it are difficult to follow…once you sign into your Google home or Alexa, the apps basically guide you thru set up. The plugs work perfectly.

If you are not tech savvy and you have a dual band router you may never get these plugs to work. Once I got the correct 2.4ghz wifi connection to show, I downloaded the Tuya Smart App (The one from HBN never worked) and from there it was easy. I give it three stars only because it was not easy from the start.

Works as expected and compatible with Google Home.. Well built and a quality product..

So unfortunately for me, I have a spectrum modem one of the newly updated ones. This does not show 2.4 ghz when you go to set up the plug. I installed the Tuya Smart app on the google play store. Once you have signed up for an account and confirmed it, click on the orange plus sign on the top right, then press add device, also make sure your Bluetooth is turned on for this (it will prompt you to do so if you forget). You now will want to manually press either plug (Ble + Wi-Fi) or Socket Wi Fi. It will prompt you for the 2.4 ghz (if you dont have one, dont worry) just put in your internet password as usual. It will tell you the device is connected to 5ghz wifi, select carry on rather than switch wifi. Follow the prompts and this should do it! It worked for me with all 3 different devices I bought on 5ghz.

I have 2 mechanically controlled Window A/C units. With the plugs I can remotely turn them on before going out to work in my garage. I did get one that would not function. The manufacturer sent me replacements immediately with out hesitation and without going through Amazon.
