SwitchBot Smart Plug Mini 15A, Energy Monitor, Smart Home WiFi(2.4GHz) & Bluetooth Outlet Compatible with Alexa & Google Home, APP Remote Control & Timer Function for Home Automation, No Hub Required

These work exactly as intended, and the app is very easy to use, with one notable exception. Theres no timer condition in th scenes tab. You can set different devices to turn on and off following a schedule, but theres no way to tell a device to turn off after X amount of inactivity time.

Even though this product has a great rating on all other points one thing that is very clearly most important is the amount of scheduled settings the on/off may have is only 5 and its very greatly important to have about 100 scheduled on/off instead... this product fails in that regard and is very important to be changed by the programers that made its schedule limit so low as being only 5. Major bumber.

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

You get what you pay for with this cheap device. One of the two pack worked while the second one might be measuring my BO level for Switchbot Corp but its not reporting any electrical data to me.

Works great app is very easy to navigate no complaints I recommend

Doesnt connect to my wifi no matter what settings I change. I cant even bypass this step either. If you buy this product throw it in the garbage where it belongs. Cant even use it when I got it. Fix your app its broken.

It doesnt get better than this! Well, better for them- worse for you. The product is cheap because it harvests your private data and ferrets it into their database. You are the product and this is spyware to a level not seen since facebook was introduced. In order to simply switch your plug on and off you need to create an online account, agree to anything and everything in their TOS, give them your wifi password, provide your location whenever you use the app, and when you don’t(!!), agree to marketing emails, navigate past their online store in the app, install a widget and update your device firmware to the latest no doubt network sniffing version. I feel sick. Its a data-grab and theyre taking the maximum possible leveraging your desire to turn a device on and off with a timer. Theyre going to sell your data to everyone and anyone, and if they say they arent that just means whoever buys their company will inherit the database and do it for them. No no no no, no no no. NO. NO. What am I saying? No means no. Hands off my private data. No you cant have my wifi password. No of course you cant follow me around. It absolutely is not your business where my product operates. Im not subscribing to marketing emails and accepting a terms of service in order to use a product I purchased. Its a plug. This is beyond invasive. Imagine going to a hardware store and purchasing a plug splitter only to find a staff member followed you home, and is sitting in a car outside logged into your wifi and waiting for you to leave so they can record your every move. The people you meet, the protests you attend, the stores you shop at, your gynecologist, storage locker, bar, significant other, and other, your office. Would that bother you? ***** On the other hand - if you are willing to totally sacrifice your privacy, the switchbot range of devices do a pretty good job. That is the parts of the app that were designed to serve you and not them.

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!

I use it for the grow light on my succulents. It turns the light on and off just as I have it set.

After an extensive, thorough & exhaustive search I finally found only 1 smart plug that operates via Bluetooth & doesn’t require a constant WiFi connection - the SwitchBot Smart Plug Mini 15A. Using Bluetooth provides better reliability, unlike WiFi that can drop the connection or go out at any time. The app set up wasn’t as slick as I’d like, but it didn’t take very long to set up & add schedules (15-25 min.). Hopefully this app will not follow in the footsteps of the horrible & unreliable Avi-on app required for an older model GE Bluetooth Smart Switch (Plug-In).
