> 3 dayHi … I am a big fan of smart plugs and the convenience they offer. The smart plug brands I am using in my house are Amazon, Wyze, and now SYLVANIA. While I have found that there are some differences in how the manufacturers have organized their apps, all of the plug I own, irrespective of brand, perform their core functions equally well. The smart plug industry, and market, has matured to degree that a shopper can now select a plug based on price and still be pleased with its quality, functionality and ease of use. And all of this applies to the newest smart plugs in my collection, the SYLVANIA Smart+. Here’s how … I easily located the SYLVANIA Smart+ plugs’ app on the Apple “App Store” and dropped it onto my iPad. Following its straightforward “Do this first; do this second … “ format, I connected the plugs first to my Wi-Fi network and then to my Amazon account to enable voice control via my Echoes. It was a one cup of coffee long process to get the SYLVANIA and Amazon apps up and coordinated, the respective passwords squared away, and the first plug turning a lamp on/off via my kitchen Echo. Nice! As easy as this process was, I do recommend taking a few minutes to review the basic, but still helpful, “User Manual” that SYLVANIA includes in the box. Notably, there is a group of QR codes included in the pamphlet that link to a collection short videos (under 2 minutes) that show you how enable the plugs to be used with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. I thought that this was a nice touch and thoughtful inclusion on SYLVANIA’s part. The Verdict: I am very pleased with these Smart+ plugs and the value that this four pack presents. The plugs were easy to setup and voice control via my Amazon Echoes has been trouble free from “Day #1”. Being able to access these plugs thru the SYLVANIA Smart+ app via my phone, or iPAD, from anywhere I can access the ‘Net is the proverbial “cherry on top” and make them very easy to recommend.

> 3 dayI went with a Sylvania because it’s a known company hoping they’ll do better than the other plugs I’ve purchased and so far they’re doing well. Not that hard to setup or link to Alexa but only time will tell.

> 3 daySYLVANIA Smart WiFi Plug WiFi plugs are a handy thing to have around nowadays. I have an Alexa home and she controls an awful lot of things. With these she can control more. I have set up smart plugs before as you might imagine. I had no issue-espresso with these at all and got a pair up and running to control two lamps as a pair. I found the installation easy and normal to what I’ve experienced before. This four pack is a bargain to me and as such and with an actual brand name, I do recommend them.

> 3 dayThis product would not connect to my WiFi network. I followed the instructions for set up and all the trouble shooting guides, but these didn’t work at all. No problems with other smart devices on my network except for these plugs.

> 3 dayThese Sylvania Smart WIFI plugs make it easy for Alexa to control the television, lights, coffee pot, and so much more. The Smart plugs are easy to use; just plug them into an outlet, plug in the device you want Alexa to control, and thats it.

> 3 dayThese worked fine for about 6 months... specifically up until exactly 7 days after the product support window closed, then all 4 quit working the same day. Its obviously a Sylvania server problem, but never had that problem with my other off brand... and thats the last time I consider a brand name over something else.

> 3 dayThese arrived as pre-owned products and then would not connect to our devices. We plan to try them at another location. But all signs point to the fact that these dont work at all except as regular outlet expansions (1 to 3).

> 3 dayGo read the reviews in the app before purchasing. Wasted two hours of my life, trying to get at least one of the four to connect to wifi through the app to no avail. Returning, and never will I buy another Sylvania product. Youve been warned, dont waste your time or money.

> 3 dayBought these because Sylvania Smart+ plugs are specifically listed as compatible. My goal was to add more control over lights etc. via Smartthings scenes and automations. At this point, can control these using Sylvania app only, another separate app. Not Smart.
