SONOFF S31 WiFi Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, 15A Smart Outlet Socket ETL Certified, Work with Alexa & Google Home Assistant, IFTTT Supporting, 2.4 Ghz WiFi Only (2-Pack)

After thunderstorm power outage, the products turns off on its own and doesn’t turn back on. Scheduling on the app doesn’t quite work all the time.hopefully Alexa can take over this. Wouldn’t recommend to put on always need to tbe on device.

Bn Link used to sell these with a power meter but I contacted them and they don’t offer the meter option anymore because of a chip shortage. These are a couple bucks more but the power meter is the feature I really like.

These are great products to control devices and monitor power consumption remotely. I flash them with the Tasmota software package and then monitor/control them with Node Red. They appear to be certified to the equivalent of UL, though it would be great if they went with UL directly for the US market.

I use for dehumidifier, Steamer, Online media box. I use for coffee maker to start 8 am. Surprised it made coffee 12pm lunch time. Too many ads in the app. For 4$ each. And Wi-Fi. CAnt beat the price but not perfect.

My intended goal for purchasing a dozen of these ugs was to integrate them with Home Assistant. I was able to successfully integrate them without too much fuss. The plugs work as designed and advertised. Additionally, I am able to either use the eWeLink app to see the each plugs overall power usage and control each plug. I plan on flashing these with ESPHome firmware so I reduce the need to rely on the Sonoff cloud. These plugs do have a LAN Mode option which enables them to reduce the need for the cloud, which I really liked. Overall, plugs are a 9/10 on my rating.

I am sure that others have been able to connect to this device, but I cannot. I followed the instructions exactly. I changed my wifi settings to 2.4. I have the router four inches from my phone and the device. I had order four of these devices awhile back but just got to the point where I needed to install for smart plugs so I tried just now to connect them. I went through every one and nothing. I have connected plenty of smart devices in my home. I am afraid that it was money wasted. If you buy these, I hope you have better luck than I.

Using them with Alexa, very reliable, never had a failure/need of reset. Easy setup and Alexa integration with the ewlink app. In the ewlink app you can turn on some features that Alexa do not have but still works with Alexa, additional bonus. E.g automatically turn off the device after xxx time has lapsed since power on, power on state, timers and loop timers. Very useful for my setup, controlling a water pump for my house remotely.
