Easy to set up

After spending an hour with tech support it finally start to work . Easy to use now.

Could not get it to connect. Have an Amazon smart plug and it was not an issue to set that plug up. I guess this one is cheap.

This item does not work after having for less than a month. I would never recommend !

Easy to install and works very well

can not connect with alexa

This is a great smart plug, functionally speaking. It works just like the [much] more expensive ones at a fraction of the cost, making it a great value. The one irritating thing, and its not unique to the Tenda, is that in order to set up the plugs you have to download yet another proprietary app, Tenda Beli. I have a lot of smart plugs and smart light bulbs around the house, and it is getting to be more than annoying that every brand has their own proprietary app in the App Store. Its even more annoying because every app works just the same. Just. The. Same. And I also know that the brains of all these smart accessories are made by the same one or two Chinese companies, so theyre all really no different inside. Anyway, once you download the app, you go through the usual process of registering, verifying your email, then logging in. Once logged in, download the Tenda Beli skill to Alexa, set it up/log in, and you should be good to go. Note that you only have to do all this for the first plug you install; additional plugs are automatically identified. Once set up, they work as expected. To me, its worth a little setup irritation for the money you save with these plugs.

These are very well made switches. The size is good – they do not block the adjacent outlet, and the manual switch on the side is easily accessible. I am relatively new to Wi-Fi based smart switches, and they all seem to have some quirks, but if you are persistent, they will work just fine. Configuring them requires installation of the Tenda Beli app on your smart phone. Keep in mind that the way these switches work is that they have their own little Wi-Fi “hotspot”. The app will have you sign on to a Wi-Fi network, then connect to the switch hotspot, and finally connect the switch to the Wi-Fi network you first accessed. Understanding that is helpful if you’re watching your phone disconnect from and reconnect to Wi-Fi inexplicably. You also need your phone to be pretty close to the switch for configuration as the hotspot range is pretty weak. For one of the switches I had to manually connect to the switch Wi-Fi hotspot but once I figured everything out it went well. One downside is that there appear to be many different apps controlling these switches. For example, I now have the Bali app for these switches, the Meross app for my garage door opener, and the Smart Life app for two different brands of outdoor switches. While these apps integrate with other apps and services, keep in mind that you are going to be juggling a bunch of apps to get things working and you are unlikely to integrate much. With a Smart Things hub, for example, you have a single place to go for programming, troubleshooting, or integration. With these Wi-Fi based apps, you are on your own. That being said, integration with the Alexa app was simple and worked well. If you are looking for a simple way to say “Alexa, turn on the bedroom lamp”, this is the ticket. If you want to control various elements of your home from the same app, you may want a hub based Z Wave or ZigBee solution. But for a simple way to get into the world of voice commands and home automation, these Tenda switches are an excellent starting point.

Setup impossible. Won’t connect to WiFi, Tendi signin was not recognized, connecting to Alexa was ridiculously complicated. Don’t waste your money and, especially, your time.

Will not connect
