TOPGREENER Smart Mini Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring, Mini Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, TGWF115PQM, 4-Pack

Great smart plugs, works perfectly with Google Home mini. Use one to make sure my hair straightener is off when I leave the house! Took off a star because they are large, and take up two outlets for one.

Awesome item. I got these mainly for their power monitoring capabilities. Accuracy is pretty close to my Kill-A-Watt. I was able to set these up with the app on my android phone pretty easily. Cant beat them for the price of $10/each. Bonus that the company appears to be based in the USA (Irvine, CA). --My only issue with adding these devices to the android app was the lack of feedback when it fails. I was entering the wrong wifi password and the app would just eventually count to 100% and fail. Would be nice to have displayed why and/or where in the process it failed. --I decided to test these against my Kill-a-Watt p4450 monitor. Measured voltage was the same most of the time as my Kill-a-Watt (within .4 volts on 120 volt line otherwise, probably due to the syncing delay with the app servers). I used a small load of a 24 watt incandescent bulb. Both monitors matched at 200 milliamps, although the TOPGREENER would frequently bounce up to 412 milliamps for a split second. The power reading in watts would, however, hold constant at about 24. Im not really sure what that is about but overall Id say it is pretty accurate. --Power usage of the device itself seems to be about .5 -.6 watts when the plug is off and about 1 - 1.2 watts when on. Seems very reasonable to me. On a side note: it would be nice if TOPGREENER would produce a version of this focused on the power monitoring aspect (mainly without the on/off relay).

I had low expectations for these little guys seeing as they were quite a bit cheaper than comprable watt meters with a LED readout. But the ability to connect to Wi-Fi seemed convenient so I decided to give it a try. Theyve easily exceed any expectations and I might even buy a few more. The only issue was set-up was a bit challenging, at least for me. It took probably 10-15 minutes and several tries but eventually I got it to work with the app. I had better luck with the alternate pairing method or whatever its called so you might want to try that right off the bat. Also I think I may have erred by plugging them in before I was ready to pair, you may want to wait until you have the app ready to do that. The biggest pleasant surprise was the quality of the app. (You need to have the app to get any use out of this product.) Ive used a bunch of cheaply made companion apps but this was definitely not one of them. It works very smoothly and the UI is great. Its a bit annoying that you have to create a free account with TOPGREENER to use it but I guess that should be expected these days. It prompts you to share your location but you dont need to do this for it to work. Once set up the app makes it very easy to toggle the power of your plugs, as well as view the current and historical power consumption. If you unplug the units they immediately reconnect to the app when you plug them in again so no worries there. One last thing, I noticed someone here was alarmed that the watts on the readout dont equal volts * amps. Thats because this formula doesnt hold true for alternating current. I cant comment on the accuracy of the wattage figures (which are shown to the nearest 0.1 watts) but they seem to be reasonable. EDIT: Had a space heater (1300 watts) running through the plug for about an hour and when I disconnected it the unit was noticeably warm. I dont think it was a fire risk or anything but just something you might want to be aware of, especially for even higher-wattage appliances.

I got the two pack of this on a deal. it came out to about $20 each. I like that the set up was easy. The feel of the product seems sturdy and heavy duty. I like that it is 15A and I can run a small space heater on it during the winter. I use it to turn on a lamp in the living room while I am away to let people think that someone is home. The only thing I dont like about it is the size. It is much bigger than I thought it would be. I can see how its size would be a problem if the outlet is near furniture. But once you put it on the wall, you leave it there and you dont think about it anymore.

I hooked one of these up to my old plasma TV (435 watts), a 15W LED lamp (0.3 kWh in all of December - it runs for hours every day), my central heater (not the AC - so it just runs the electronics and the overall fan - usually around 90W when running), my new OLED TV (90W - 160W), and the wifes Christmas tree (incandescent lights - about 500W) I rotate outlets around once I know the electrical impact. VERY handy The app is easy to use and seems accurate

To bad these were not designed for energy monitoring only. Do not use it on any outlet that where the device or appliance must remain on continuously. It will turn itself off.

I use Home Assistant and prefer flashable devices that I can control locally with installing vendor apps or having network traffic round-trip to the public internet to control a plug sitting right next to me on the same LAN. These flashed Tasmota without issues using Tuya-Convert running on an old Raspberry Pi 1 I had lying around. To save someone else the trouble, here is the required Tasmota template: {NAME:TGWF115PRM,GPIO:[0,56,0,17,134,132,0,0,131,57,21,0,0],FLAG:0,BASE:18} I have not yet fully calibrated the energy usage yet, but did set the voltage using the VoltageSet command on the console. There is a page on the Tasmota Github site on power monitoring calibration for those interested. I am thrilled about the value of these devices -- they are as inexpensive as the Sonoff Basic but do not require soldering headers to flash or cutting power cords to install. Flash OTA; Plug; Play!

I was pleased with these; easily configured to work w/ google home... working well for months... love the power usage monitoring... yet we had a power outage - for 3 hours... and now I need to completely reprogram them ! That alone is annoying enough that it would prevent me from purchasing more of these, and looking for a smarter option that doesnt require re-provisioning after power outage .

They work well! I was hoping the app allowed you to see all data over time, so as to look for power spikes, but the data collection appears limited to total kilowatts. Also, there doesnt appear to be a way to reset data collected, like if you want to start monitoring a different device.

While easy to set up, install, and providing great data with excellent remote control; I cannot recommend a product that advertises 1800 watts, 15 amps, and gets to 200F at 1,300 watts. Fire hazard if you have a sustained or high load. For less than 1,000 watts, its probably fine.
