> 3 dayI have some smart plugs from several different brands and some of them just sit in a drawer not used. Those plugs works sometimes, most of the time they dont. Some of the other smart plugs have had issues with my network router and were very slow to react. They are also several years old and were just not technically up to speed. I found these smart plugs from Vont and ordered them. First off, they are VERY easy to install and configure. Vont has one App for all of their smart devices. Just plug in the smart plug, go to the App, click on Add Device and it is found immediately. Select the smart plug and let it do its thing. Once it is done, the smart plug works. I named each plug and added them to my Amazon Alexa for voice control. Now I can plug in lamps, fans, plant lights or anything I want to control into the smart plug, and I can turn it on/off with a simple voice command. I even have one controlling a plant light that is on a scheduled daily on/off to keep my plants healthy without having to think about it. Setting up a schedule is also very easy and fast. This two pack of smart plugs is priced great making them a terrific value. The ease of installation and use make them a truly smart buy. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them to anyone needing a really great smart plug.

> 3 dayI bought this plug for its vacation mode. I wanted a lamp to randomly turn on and off to make it look like someone is home. This plug does randomly turn on and off when in vacation mode; however, the period is around an hour. Last month my house was burglarized. The burglar waited in his car in front of my house for 15 minutes, looking for activity, before breaking in. No burglar is going to wait outside a house an hour looking for activity. This vacation mode needs a period around 10 minutes to be useful. The Schedule mode only allows one on and one off time setting, so this doesnt meet my needs either. Update: after I posted this, Vont contacted me and told me they were going to add this feature to their product, but told me it may take a while. Gotta love that customer support, so I updated my rating 2 stars.

> 3 dayOnce the app was set up, we made several attempts to add new device. The set up took awhile and the rules to adjust the timer was confusing and fussy. We wanted the light to come on and off at a certain time. Once it finally connected, it works great! The light comes on at its specific time and off at its set time. The box contained 2 plugs. Now we can set up the other one:) I would purchase again.

> 3 dayFor disclosure I got these from Vont as part of their reviewer program. I love this smart plug so tiny easy to use and setup. The app needs some improvement, but I think they are working on it. One thing I would change is to make them a little bit tinier. Two plugs fit nicely onto one standard outlet, but if you have one of those outlets with USBs ports as well, the plug covers them :( Besides than it is an awesome product!

> 3 dayFirst of all, I was reimbursed for the purchase price of this product in return for my feedback to Vonts beta test program. That said, Im really pleased with these smart plugs. The packaging was nicely done and is completely recyclable. The basic instructions the switches came with were all that was needed to get them up and running (after you download the Vont app to your phone or tablet). Setup, including adding the switches to my Google Home Assistant, took fewer than five minutes for both plugs, and they worked right off the bat. Now, Im looking for other places to use more of them. Id wholeheartedly recommend this product for anyone looking for a smart plug, and I plan to purchase more soon.

> 3 dayWe live in a fairly wet climate during spring and winter and our sump pump has been running non-stop. Because our pump doesn’t allow for adjusting when it turn on, it was running non-stop as soon as a few inches of water filled the well, causing our back yard to be a swamp b/c it never had time to dry before more water pumped out. By adding this plug, we have a lot more control over when it pumps out the reservoir and we can give our yard a chance to dry up! Simple setup and easy use through the app.

> 3 dayI 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.

16-11-2024Product works great. Easy to install. Integration with Alexa is cumbersome at best. No manual except on line. Alexas cannot discover without enabling skills. Once it is connected to Alexa everything is fine.
