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

I purchased these to use because I will be having a knee replacement in a few weeks. It is easy to turn my light/lamp on with just a voice command. HOWEVER, the lights keep flashing constantly; even if you turn on Bluetooth. Turning this feature off in the app did nothing. My son finally covered up the lights to stop the flashing; which can only be seen at night/in a dark room. Revised review: I purchased these in November and didnt use them for awhile. They are already broken. Cannot use. Will never purchase again. My son is an IT guy and he cannot get them to work.

PSA there’s only one plug in a ‘pack’, it’s a bit misleading. But very hnady and app is great

Bought these so I could remotely activate my laser cutter, fans, lights, and water pump which is 200’ from my desktop. Walking back and forth to turn the laser on to send it a file was becoming a real hassle. These worked perfectly. Set up was a breeze, securing them to only my account and updating the firmware went flawlessly. Absolutely recommend.

I have not used these smart plugs too much since receiving them, but have used them primarily to turn on a humidifier and run it for 2 hours in our bedroom before we go to bed. Scheduling was easy to setup and the humidifier turned on then off at the correct times. I have not used the Alexa integration yet. Overall, I would recommend these smart plugs as they are easy to use.

This is good if you work late and dont want to come home to a dark house. You have to turn it off every night but will automatically come on at scheduled time every day.

I love being able to have an easy, low profile physical switch in an outlet. And the additional smart function and ability to turn on / off the unit from my phone is amazing. The ability to have a schedule for an outlet has changed my life for the better. Very happy with this two pack. The packaging of this product is protective, clever, and sleek. honestly the best I’ve seen for any consumer electronics.

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.

Love this is a single plug size and doesnt block other plugs. Easy to set up and easy to use. The in app schedule and timer are a bit lacking. You can only create one schedule for on or off but not both. Its a bit odd. I ended up using alexa to schedule it with routines.
