> 3 dayIm using this in an Apple HomeKit setup. I was really glad to see that you could set it up directly in HomeKit, and the setup was perfectly seamless. So many products require you to download the manufacturers app these days, which inevitably tries to gather your email, personal information, etc etc... its refreshing to have something that just works as hardware like its supposed to. The responsiveness through HomeKit is excellent as well. No delays when turning lights on through the app.

> 3 dayI bought the single plug and it worked fine. I, later, bought a four-pack, and I had trouble installing 2 out of 4. Once they were installed, they struggled to stay connected. I ended up returning the four-pack, but the single plug is still up and running. Seems like it might be hit or miss. I have VOCOlinc bulbs and contact sensors, which work great.

> 3 dayIve purchased a number of these and the majority work fine. But - I paid for all of them so they should all work fine. Right? They appear to be well made and once successfully installed they are reliable and stay connected to the HomeKit network. Their price is significantly less than competing products (Eve Energy, WeMo) but so far 1 out of 6 fail to connect during the initial setup. Support is only available via email and they expect you to take a screen recording of your setup process and send it to them. Folks, this isnt rocket science, and the setup procedure is very easy. They either connect or they dont. 6 resets later and it still wouldnt finish the setup process. So if I toss the failed one in the trash since they have not offered to replace it, the cost of the other 5 increases a bit. Still a good value but frustrating none the less.

> 3 dayI was hesitant to jump into the smart home game, because I knew it was an expensive road, full of maintenance and glitches, or so I thought. At $30 for two smart outlets, I found it very affordable and I decided to give it a try. WOW! Using Homekit, the setup was a breeze! Plug it in, open Homekit app, scan the QR code and there you go! Done! No HUB needed, these work right out of the box using only your phone and wifi. Setup takes 30 seconds. I was expecting a delay when turning lights on and off, but it is instant! Its fast enough you can click it on and off, over and over really fast, like a regular light switch to annoy your friends or family ;) Ive been using these plugs for the last month or so, and they are setup to automation and turn on 1 hour before sunrise, then turn off when we leave the house! Then, they turn on right before sunset and when I jump in bed I just say Goodnight! and they turn off with the siri voice shortcuts! I loved them so much that I bought two more, plus their smart Wi-Fi color changing light bulb. They all work together flawlessly and I can highly recommend these if you are starting out with a smart home.

Greater than one weekWe mostly use Wemo outlets but, not finding the ones we usually purchase, we bought four of these. Each outlet, a least once a month, we get the message that the outlet is not responding and then have to climb behind or move furniture to manually turn on/off the outlet or reset it.

> 3 dayI needed a plant light timer, and I could have gotten a simpler one. But I also wanted to explore HomeKit functionality. Did some research, and it seemed I could accomplish what I needed with any smart plug that supports HomeKit. Happily, I was right. I scanned the QR code on the plug itself, plugged it in, saw the plug pop up on my phone, named and categorized it, and it works. That’s it. I of course set some automations up and they’ve worked great. Basic timer functionality is easy. Turning on and off sets off a not insignificant relay click, but I kinda like it. I even managed to set up a geofenced remote automation with either my aTV or HomePods acting as the hub, and it just works. I forget how simple and effective Apple stuff can be cause I don’t think about it. Anyway, these are perfectly functional and do what they promise. Plus they’re inexpensive, relatively compact, have a on/off button on the plug, and look generic in a good way. Don’t know about other smart ecosystem support.
