Vont Smart Plug [1 Pack] Alexa Smart Plugs, WiFi + Bluetooth, No Hub Required, Smart Home, Google Home & IFTTT, Voice Command, Timer & Schedules, Control Anywhere, Vacation Mode, ETL & FCC Certified

TLDR (long version below): About the only thing I could get to work right on these plugs was the manual on and off switch. Everything on the app never worked right. The scheduling function never worked basically at all (it would actually randomly switch my lamp on in the middle of the night, waking me up) and while I got the on and off switches on the app to eventually work, it took a while. I contacted their support about my issues and never heard back. Should’ve just bought a switch timer. Long version: I got these plugs because I was looking for something I could easily schedule to turn my lamp on and my fan off in the mornings to help wake me up and get me out of bed. These were not it. They were easy to setup; the main problem came with the app. When I first went to pair the plugs, the app had trouble finding my wifi. Then the plug software needed to update. That took forever (they say you can go off the page when it’s updating but that just ended up stopping the update). Finally, when that was done I went to go turn the plugs on and off on my app. Nothing. I tried unplugging, resetting, etc. Still nothing. The manual switch on them was still working fine, but turning them on and off manually defeats the whole purpose of getting these. Finally I just went to sleep. Tried them the next day. They finally worked, but only if I tried turning them on and off 2-4 times. Since time fixed the problem before, I thought maybe it might fix the problem now. Maybe the new software is causing an issue or something. I gave them a week and during that time looked at their FAQ and around the internet. I didn’t find anything helpful. Finally, the plugs were turning on and off reliably via my app. Now to set up a schedule on the app (the whole reason I got these). Didn’t work. Okay, I’ll give it some time. A few days later, my lamp was turning on and off. In the middle of the night. Randomly. I kept getting woken up from the hours of 1-4AM, when it was supposed to be turning on at 5:30AM. I checked time zones, did troubleshooting, etc. Did the same thing with my fan, which wasn’t turning off at any point despite the lamp and fan being set to turn on at the same time. The scheduling function just didn’t work. Turned the schedule off on my lamp so I could get some sleep, but kept it on for my fan just to see what would happen. A few days later it started to occasionally turn off when it was supposed to, and about a week after that it started to actually obey the schedule most of them time. The lamp was still a lost cause though. I also sent a help ticket in about my plugs since especially the lamp was still acting up and the many hours I had spent researching fixes for these problems had yielded nothing. They said I should get contacted within 24 hours about the issue. I never got contacted. I waited until my return window almost closed just in case they had a backlog and needed extra time. Nope. Ended up returning the plugs.

I have used these plugs with just the Vont Home app and also with Alexa. They are super easy to setup. I liked that I could set up a schedule in the Vont Home app to power something on/off at certain times and days of the week. I didnt have Alexa right away, but when I set up Alexa, with my granted permission, it integrated the Vont Home app and products without any hassles. I use voice commands to control one of the plugs and use a schedule to automatically control the other. I am extremely happy with this product and highly recommend these plugs.

I use these to help balance the power drain of some of my appliances and set up lamps to come on automatically in the evening. Some of our appliances are difficult to reach and I love that these smart plugs have the ability to set up timers for my appliances.

They were very easy to install and I plan on buying more. They were very easy to connect to Alexa. I would 12/10 recommend.

Simple easy packaging and bit of difficulty getting to work with my Alexa and Google Home. I own a couple of different brands of smart plugs and Vont is pretty good.. 4-Stars!!

I own a whole lot of Vont products: Smart Scale, Smart wifi Strip lights, kitchen scale, solar outdoor lawn automatic lights, smart light bulb, bright led flash lights, rechargeable bicycle front and rear lights, and the super useful headlamps for any DIY task in the dark. All the Vont products I own are still going strong and they never disappoint. One time my strip lights won’t connect to the wifi, thus command via Alexa won’t work. Vont looked into it right away and sent me a replacement brand new strip lights even though they determined that the fault was on their server side. They fixed the issue minutes after and sent me another one to keep.

Easy to setup. Quick integration. Link Vont account with Alexa and next plug integration is automatic. Can be operated using Bluetooth as well if wifi is down. Works great overall. Plus point is small size compared to couple other brands. Smart features like scheduling etc work good with Alexa/Google. I cut a star only due to application which needs improvements. Overall great experience so far.

I received these smart plugs and put them to use right away to control the yard lights and my dogs water filter bowl. The packaging on these was clean and easy to open. Inside the box was a scratcher for a possible prize. Using the app to setup was easy as it discovered them right away. I was also able to connect with Alexa and google home with no issues. So far all has been good and have not had any issues. I almost forget that they are there since I no longer have to manually turn things off/on. Vont has come a long way with quality products which I own quite a few now.

I received these smart plugs from Vont as a product tester and found them to work very well. I installed the Vont Home app on my Android phone, which easily discovered and added the two devices. I then linked the smart plugs to both Alexa and Google Home and found these apps to be a very simple way to control the switches. Here are what I found to be the smart plugs pros and cons... Pros: • Very simple and fast to discover and pair with Vont Home app and to integrate with Alexa & Google Home. • Two plugs fit nicely onto one standard outlet (see pic). • Blue LED indicator may be enabled/disabled in Vont Home app, which is nice for rooms where these LEDs could be distraction or cause of insomnia. • Solid, heavy feel. • Higher 15 amp max is great for higher draw items such as heaters (see pic) or dumb coffee makers -- I connected an old coffee maker to one of these plugs and made an Alexa skill where saying Alexa, make coffee! would start my coffee maker on demand, and Alexa, Im cold! would turn on my heater. • Very fair/low price in my opinion. Cons: • The Vont Home app still needs refining (which Vont is doing) to make it easier and more clear to use. While it was easy to discover & add the plugs, the apps shortcomings are mainly small things like the color difference between on and off switch is gray vs. slightly darker gray (see pic) instead of green vs. red, for example. Setting up timers with Vont Home is a bit clunky. With the simple Alexa or Google Home integration I honestly dont see any need to use the Vont Home app once the plugs are set up. I highly recommend these plugs, and thank Vont for giving me the opportunity to test them.

I am using this product for remote restart of many devices, like modem, router, saving me many tedious trips to the attic. It can also used to stop charging of phones, turning off lights, etc. Great product and easy to configure.
