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

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.

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.

I could not set both on and off times. I would enter an on time and then go try to set an off time and it would change the on time to match the off time. Apparently you can only use it as an or an off switch but not both. Only one would connect to the WiFi out of the box.

Incredibly inaccurate. I have a computer with an i7-4790k CPU and a GTX 1070 GPU, a combination which should be pulling well over 300 Watts from the wall when both are at full load. I ran a stress test to max out the power draw from my computer and this smart plug claimed my entire computer was running off 50 Watts. At idle it claimed my desktop computer uses 10 Watts. Anybody who knows gaming computers knows how ridiculous these numbers sound. Additionally I have a lamp with a 23 Watt bulb in it, the SwitchBot claimed this lamp was pulling 6.5 Watts from the wall. Update: I returned the SwitchBot and bought a Poniie PN1500 for nearly the same price. The PN1500 measured just over 300 Watts when stress testing my CPU/GPU at max load, and measured 24 Watts from the wall to run my 23 Watt light bulb. Much happier with my PN1500, with the caveat that my use case was exclusively to measure power consumption and I didnt care about the smart plug feature.

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.

The Switchbot Smart Plug Minis are a great value when you buy two. I paid less than ten dollars each. They also do more than other smart plugs I have. I love the energy monitor feature. I can control them with my Echo Dot, or my Google Hub, which is important. They integrate well into the other smart home products I bought previously.

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.

The instructions are not good for working with Alexa. At first I thought you needed a hub despite it was advertised as not needing a hub. After further research I figured out the secret. You have to download the Alexa App and do your final sync and setup there. It now works perfect with Alexa on my Firestick. I think most of the bad reviews are because its not very clear how to do setup for Alexa. I was almost going to give up thinking I need a hub and was ready to leave a bad review.

Havent used switchbot products before and this is my first foray into them. Ive been wanting to supplement my VESYNC/Etekcity smartplug for a long time ... teseted some Tuya/Smartlife plugs that I found a little basic compared to my Vesync one. Finally decided to get these switchbot ones since they were rated for 15A. So far, Im not too impressed with the plug. It has been going into overload protection with the dehumidifier that I have plugged in drawing ~675 watts and 5.5amps. Initially, I thought it was a fluke and powered the plug back on. But, it did it again 3 times over the course of last night. My vesync and tuya plug, neither one did this and they have overload protection as well. My thinking is that these plugs are all made in China anyway, why is the sb one so sensitive (Ive had my dehumidifier running on the vesync for over 2 months without issue).

App to make product work crashes and does not allow device to work
