These smart switches work reliably and are simple to set up. The only negatives Ive found are the 4 timer limit per switch, and the fact that the app requires an email address and account to work. The devices are also compatible with Tasmota and I believe ESP Home, so there is always the option of going that route, I suppose.

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 plugged one of these into the line between the wall and my freezer. Tried to get it and my phone to recognize each other and my phone said NO DEVICE PRESENT, tried another phone and it was the same way. Neither phone would recognize it as a Bluetooth devise which the ad said and the person that answers questions on there site told me when I asked. Only out a few dollars but only because I checked and tried several times with my phone, after awhile the device shut the electric power off and also the freezer (because I checked I didnt loose all my stuff). I would say YOU CAN NOT USE BLUETOOTH which is what I wanted to set these up as.

Although instructions could be a little better, this is a great space saver. Most timers are so bulky and cover half the other outlet. This little timer fits perfectly. I like I can control it by my phone.

I absolutely love having this around! I have lots of lights that I use for decor and in order to save money on electric I decided to buy this smart plug to set up a routine of when they turn on and off! I can even pair it with my Alexa and turn them off then, it’s inexpensive and has an app that’s easy to use, the company has wonderful customer service as well! Hope you all enjoy it! I sure do!

In a house with no overhead lighting these are the best to have automatic light on night. These are so easy to set up and use. Will definitely continue to buy these in the future!

The Good: This is indeed a smart outlet plug that connects to an app on your phone allowing you to control your outlet power remotely. It’s a white box that plugs into a 3-prong outlet and lets you plug in (1) 3-prong power cord into it. It has a button on the side that you can use to connect its Bluetooth and as a manual ON/OFF switch. The size and shape does not block the other outlet socket. The Bad: The app certainly looks like an app, it feels like an app, and even smells like an app. But it is the furthest thing from a good app. It’s just terrible, and kind of has a resemblance to the Hue Philips app. They clearly took inspiration. When you open the app you have to create an account. And I’ll tell you right now, you better remember your password or your account is gone. I forgot my password, so I tried to reset it but was informed my email didn’t exist. I tried to make a new account with the same email and was informed I already had an account. And I always thought I was indecisive. If you forget your password, the app forgets you made an account. If you try to make a new account, then the app remembers you made an account, until you try to reset your password. When you add a device to the app list then close the app and reopen it, the app will forget you added a device; it might even sign you out. I eventually got my device to fully connect, and once that finally happened it was smooth sailing. I was able to setup some automatic timer schedules, and I’ve been using it daily without issues. In conclusion, the device works great. The app sucks and has a high potential of giving you a hard time. If, and it’s certainly possible, you get your device fully connected you’ll have exactly what you were looking for.

Warning this will be a run-on sentence So the switchbot software you download from Play Store requires you to sign up with them giving your email address so they can confirm it then you have to agree to being tracked by location its completely ludacris switchbot needs to know your location your software your phone your everything if youre okay with this go for it And also study the picture of the device for receptacles it protrudes from the wall about an inch and then when you plug a cord in to that it protrudes about another inch and a half so youre sticking out from the wall about two-and-a-half 3 inches...... great you cant put it behind anything yeah stupid design at least if youre going to steal everybodys information put the plug on the side huh then you have to go and find the Bluetooth device and and enroll it by pushing a button on the device itself the software cant find it on its own then you have to enter it into your Wi-Fi so you have to give your password for your router This is where I stopped the process uninstalled it and got rid of it like I said they do not make clear on the instructions that you cant just use it straight up Bluetooth this software is extremely intrusive and takes up half of a gigabyte of storage?.? seems more than a little a little sketch to me Returned it ..............definitely

I have only had these for 2 days, so cant review the longevity, but the devices seem like great quality and the setup was so simple. The app took no time to get from the app store (android). The signup was simple and only took an email address and PW ,then a verification code (-1 minute). I ordered 3 SwitchBot plugs and had them all plugged in and monitoring, with power on and off schedules in less than 20 minutes for all. PLUG 1. In our entertainment area, we have a 65in big screen, with a full size PC (mini KB/mouse) and audio all plugged into a power strip that plugs into one SwitchBot jack. I set several schedules to automatically power on in the early evening (just before we get home or are around to watch shows or surf), and then power off later every night. PLUG2. We have an attic fan that pulls air from the garage into the attic to vent/force both to the outside. The fan is a modern and powerful fan, but a big draw on power (want to monitor that). I set it to turn on in the late morning and off at 10 pm (fan has a thermostat, but I wanted to have it run for set times too). PLUG 3. The last one is hooked up to an extra frig/freezer in the garage just to monitor power consumption. I am not too knowledgeable about electricity, but want to monitor the power consumption info and figure out what it all means in the app. It gives real time KW, amp and volt readings, and exportable historical data. So far I am very impressed and highly recommend. A total bargain for these and what you get. I am exited to look at some of the other SwitchBot products.

First off, this will only work on WiFi if you’re in the same exact room as your router. If there’s a wall in between the plug and your router, the signal is too weak (meaning they use a ridiculously cheap and inefficient WiFi antennae.) Second, the plus seems to severely reduce the power coming from the wall outlet; either that or the power reading feature is completely inaccurate. I have my iPhone plugged in and charging via 2.0Amp charger; the SwitchBot app says it’s only pulling 0.1A, or about 4Watts, which is not right. I got this smart plug to be able to charge my EBike battery, which uses a 2.0A charger. However, when I use it for that, it’s only pulling 0.1A which is not enough to charge the battery in the time it’s so poised to take. (Takes 10+ hours rather than 5hours, like it does when just charging from my wall outlet). Don’t buy this plug at all, I’ll be returning mine. Thanks for the inconvenience, I guess.
