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

Really thats all I need to say. If you hate cloud services and want self-controlled systems GOOD NEWS! At least as of January 2021 these do NOT have the new Tuya FW. Meaning you can still use Tuya-Convert to flash these OTA with ESPHome or Tasmota! Calibration is a PITA...just saying, but thats the nature of doing custom firmware and not because of the device itself.

The outlets worked as described but one was used, this was indicated by the plastic covers missing and when registered it showed power usage from month prior to me buying it... It kinda makes me nervous from a network securities aspect but it does work as described I guess....

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.

I love these! No more lights or candle warmers left on for extended unwanted hours. Connects to Alexa so you can turn off even when you are not home via the app. So many uses...I originally bought them from my Christmas tree and ended up using the all over the house.

At first these worked great. I used them to monitor a grow tent to see how much electricity it was using and to time the light cycles. It worked for a few weeks but then the light timer just decided to stop working and killed my plants. I even chopped it up to a power surge of some sort and added a surge protector and started over. Then it happened again with no disruption in power. These are trash unfortunately, can’t trust them to simply turn off power on a timed schedule. And they are a pain to connect to the WiFi which adds another level of annoyance so my advice is to look elsewhere.

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.

These switches will only work on Wifi on the 2.4 ghz band of your router. Thats ONLY IF your phone is connected to the same band. My Actiontec 3000a says it has both a 2.4 ghz radio and a 5 ghz one BUT when my phone (pixel 3XL) logs on to the 2.4 Actiontec lets it go right back up to 5 gig. No connection, no way. No help from the app, though lord knows I tried every step a thousand times. Also, the internet was no help. But I pored over the settings and found a way to turn off the 5 GHz, and wala, problem solved.

I missed the return window by 3 days so I’m stuck with it. It does not give you live power consumption so that sucks. Sometimes updates every few min standing next to it, other times take 15-30 min or more. I’ll prob throw these in the garage sale bin and try another brand......

Just wanted to post that after trying and returning lots of other plugs, I received these today and have confirmed that as of today, these plugs are compatible with Tasmota, plashed with Tuya-Convert (Raspberry Pi with an ESP32 donor module), The plugs were marked as both 1811Ver1.0.0 and 1812Ver1.0.0. The only downside is that these plugs are a little too big to allow two of them to fit into the outlet at the same time. You cant really even plug another regular cord into the outlet plate when this plug is plugged into the outlet. But on the positive side, it appears that these plugs have power consumption monitoring, so maybe kind of like a Kill-A-Watt can provide? not sure yet. Well also have to see if Tasmota and/or Home Assistant can read the current consumption.

From a functionality perspective I would give 5 stars, but the size and shape is a little annoying as it pretty much blocks (or tilt) the use of the other outlet (on standard 2 in wall outlets), I had to put an extension on to be able to use the 2 outlets.
