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!

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.

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

The only problem that I have with this is that it automatically locks to the off position because my dehumidifier apparently uses too much power for the plug to handle. So I can possibly find other applications for the plug but I cant use it for its intended purpose.

Great smart switch

When it is connected to hub, it works great. Mine occasionally disconnect from SwitchBot hub just 15 feet away. A bit too glitchy. Also, it will not handle a/c window unit 5000 watt. This was the main reason for buying this so when room temperature reached a certain temperature it would turn off/on a/c, but it keeps tripping off. Unless you are going to use it for a fan or light, I don’t recommend buying these smart plugs.

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.

This plug is completely unreliable. Some days it works, other days it does not. Buy from a different company. I’m totally disappointed. I bought 3 of these and they are all inconsistent. Trash product, waste of money.

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).

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.
