TOPGREENER TGWF115PRM Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring, Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required, White, Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant - Amazon Vine

I got these before they upgraded and made smaller outlet devices but these were perfectly fine. I use these to monitor the electricity usage for my air conditioners and in the winter time for the space heaters. This way I know exactly how much electricity the air conditioners and space heaters are using and I can estimate my bill. I could also use them to monitor and reduce the amount of electricity Im using. Simply by turning the air conditioner up or the space heater down youll notice a big change in the amount of electricity used and the amount you have to pay simply by having this little device at home.

Arrived quickly. Downloaded iPhone App, discovered plug and came on-line quickly. Alexa service could immediately control. The iPhone app works well as a remote control, too. Response time is very fast. Easy to move and re-configure, change the name, etc. I ordered as a stop gap to run a sump-pump with a faulty switch - which is why I got the heavy duty plug - and it worked exactly as I had hoped.

What I like: - So far they work as advertised (instructions notwithstanding) - I like the energy monitoring feature and it seems to be reasonably accurate for my one test of a small load (light bulbs). - I havent tried any of the scheduling or timer features, but using the app to turn the relay on and off is responsive. What I dont like: - Its only 10 amps, not 15A or 20A. I knew they were only 10A before buying, but people who arent so familiar with what 10 amps means are going to plug in a space heater to one of these things and start a fire. - Yet another thing that requires an always-on internet connection to a big database that can be hacked. Why cant I just talk to the device directly using wifi or via bluetooth? If the company goes out of business does my plug stop working? - Theres an LED on it thats on when the power is on. I have enough LEDs in my life. I primarily bought these so I could use an Amazon Echo to turn on and off some lights that arent attached to a switched outlet. The instructions in the box (and on the website) say to search for an Alexa skill called TOPGREENER, but that doesnt exist. Frustrating. A bit of internet research led me to discover these plugs are a rebranded version of (or use tech from) some other Chinese company that Ive never heard of called Tuya. There is a Tuya skill available on the Alexa app, and a Tuya app. Basically, replace TOPGREENER with TUYA and the instructions work fine.

Purchased looking for monitoring plug that would still work with Tuya-convert. While only 10A, they do still work with Tasmota!

From all the research I’ve done this Topgreener WiFi plug always rates highest. I can see why- it was super easy to set up, their website is simply to use and navigate. Our router is on the first floor and we have the plugs on both first and second floor and we have no problem with WiFi connection. I love being able to turn on lamps before I enter a room and also create schedules and timers! Can’t wait to buy more!

At a time when several vendors of smart plugs and switches are locking down their firmware, TopGreener still allows reflashing with Tasmota which made it easy to integrate into my Home Assistant system. The tasmota template is the same as their TGWF115APM and I have submitted it for inclusion. The size and shape allows two of them to be plugged into the same outlet. Im not going to use it with Alexa so I couldnt comment on that feature and I dont know why Amazon is asking me to rate the warmth of the product :-)

Got them working with my Android phone in less than five minutes. For each device you get to see milliamps, Power in watts, voltage and total kWh. By default the devices are switched off when the power is connected so a power outage will leave all of the devices off. Their technical support showed me how to set up an automation in the app so that if the device is switched off, the app turns it on. One other con: If you click on a device and select statistics, you only see the current month.

Bought these for all our Christmas lights. So nice not to chase around plugging and unplugging all those extension cords. Liked them so much, we bought another set to use around the house. Nice to walk in a dark room and just speak, and the lights come on. Or, go to bed and just speak the lights to go off. We travel a lot, so I expect the schedule feature to be a real boon. PS these are rated to handle up to 10 amps. The feature to see the electrical demand and usage allows you to know how much you have added, and avoid an overload.

These are really fantastic. I bought a bunch of these to turn on and off Christmas lights. No more plugging and unplugging all December. They are also great for our nightstands and avoid having to bend far out of bed to reach that dang cord mounted light switch. Bonus: it measures energy consumption. Sweet.

I have other top greener products and these were simple and easy to install and use. Alexa integration rating is low only because I don’t use it.
