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

Christmas is here and it worked perfect for my tree... You can schedule it makes it perfect. Or control it from your phone .

Title is somehow misleading. I bought this because i needed a smart plug that doesn’t depend on wi-fi thinking that i will be able to switch on and off using the bluetooth connection only. However i struggled to make it work and contacted customer support which insisted that it can be done. after two days of back and forth with CS, they finally admitted it can’t be operated by bluetooth only. So the bad news is that it’s not really a bluetooth controlled device, and you’ll need wifi to use it. (That’s why i gave it 4 and not five stars). The good news is that CS is responsive (although was initially incorrect) and that the device works great when on wifi. So if you didn’t buy it because of the bluetooth title you’ll be pleased. Overall good product.

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.

Simply unbox, plug in, open the app, and connect your plug. I love being able to turn the plug on and off from my phone (the plug is in an unreachable location). I can also turn the indicator light on or off so its not distracting in a dark bedroom. Very easy to install and even easier to use in my day to day.

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.

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.

Overall, this product looks great and works well. My only complaints have to do with the companion app and the Alexa interaction. The Vont App is clunky and should make it easier for something to run on a schedule. You can either do an on or off time and then a timer until the next shift. It could be more streamlined for sure. I do appreciate the setting to turn off the status light that not every plug I have interreacted with has as an option. Getting it connected with the Alexa app was a little tricky since I had to get the Vont skill to help it see the existing device, but that is really on the Alexa app.

I love this product. Its super easy to use. Plug it in and turn it on. Download the app and link it. The app is easy to use and configure to auto turn on and off. I can go on vacation and set the timer without worrying the house would be too dark. Another great thing about this plug is the flexibility to use Google home or Alexa to control the plug. I have other vont products and I can validate their products are user friendly and easy to connect to their app. You will not be disappointed with this brand.
