Great and simple product with a pretty user friendly companion app. Should have definitely purchased more to reduce the bills/automate a few processes around the home.

Overload protection trips from 6.5 amps of current I have tried 8 of these and they all do the same thing.

I am really enjoying these Mini Plugs. I got these to replace iHome plugs that the company stopped supporting. The majority of my smart devices are Z-Wave and Zigbee but for those that dont have a smart hub Switchbot is a good option since the plugs connect directly to cloud via Wifi. They can also be managed via bluetooth if the cloud connection is not available. I recently transitioned from Wink Hub 2 to SmartThings. Switchbot plugs have a direct integration with SmartThings, when you add the plugs to the Switchbot App they will be available for control and automations in SmartThings. I find that operation of the plugs is just as fast as my local control devices. The only drawback is if the cloud goes down then the plugs are only controllable via bluetooth which is much slower. Each plug tracks energy consumption whoever in SmartThings you can only see energy consumption the power meter isnt populated. The Switchbot app provides additional power details: Power, Current, Voltage, Historical Usage. If you use the Switchbot hub these will also integrate with it, so these plugs give you several options for control that other plugs dont provide. Even though I prefer local control (Z-Wave and Zigbee) I am enjoying these plugs as an additional option... and they are priced well.

app is complete garbage, it doesnt work half the time and the plug itself were not working right out of the box.

Great smart switch

These are a great way to find out what your bigger power wasters are in your house and/or have a controllable power switch. I only gave it 3 stars for ease of use because I had to contact customer support to find out how to delete the power usage history when I want to move the switch to a different plug/device. Plot twist: you cant. However, if you hold the button for about 20 seconds it will completely reset the SwitchBot. Then you just delete and re-add it in the app.

Product is great but the response with hub is slow

Ive tried a lot of different smart switches and these are top of the heap for me. The app is very intuitive and they work reliably.

I got these to turn on a light in my bedroom at a certain time because I work overnights and my room is dark (I use blackout curtains) when I need to wake up. It definitely helps!! I already had the app because I have the automatic curtain open/closers from the same brand. I already knew how to set it up bc of that but the app is super user friendly for anyone using it for the first time!

The first thing that I noticed about this was the maker...it was interesting for me to see Monster throw their proverbial hat in the smart home ring but I think its great. The second thing I noticed was the MSRP but it was actually very reasonable. I remember a few years ago anything like this would be triple or more. In addition to this being Smart, it tracks energy usage. I am not sure how accurate it is (and I dont have a device at the moment to confirm it), but the math seems to make sense and add up. This was simple to install, it has been pretty easy to integrate with my existing system. I like the simplicity, the features, and the value. Pros: Easy to install Great value Tracks energy usage Works well Cons: I wish it took up a bit less space because it is sometimes more difficult to maneuver around it
