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.

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.

The Vont Smart plugs are such a welcome addition to our home. My husband had previously purchased a different brand, and I was jealous. I got the Vont plus because I know the brand and the quality, having used other products of theirs. Packaging is always impressive and efficient. Setup is a breeze. I have the plugs integrated with Alexa and have no issues getting both of them to respond. I have them on a schedule and love that feature. All in all, I would choose Vont before the others!

Setting up with Alexa will not work directly…you need the Vont app. Set up should be able to be done direct. Why do I need yet another app just for plugs? When I already “supposedly” have one? Over all…not too bad though. The app does work when you get it set up. Be sure to check your router speeds! It must be compatible with 2.5gb you may need to call your provider and have them activate the 2.5 band. If you use extenders, the same applies…it must support the band.

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.

The vacation feature is great

I have used a number of other Vont products, and I tried the Vont Plug. In brief, it does what it is supposed to do well, and easily. Typically I use it with Alexa, and it makes it very simple to use. My only critique is the app could use a little more polishing for ease of use when activating the device from the app itself. However, set up via the app was smooth and uneventful. Overall, the value of this device for the cost is great, and I recommend it without reservation.

alexa integration, easy to install or easy to use

Installed the Vont app and set up the smart plugs. It was easier than I expected, and I can use Alexa to control the plugs. The price was great, the plugs work as advertised, and I am going to buy more of these to add to my smart plug collection.

This is the second set I’ve bought. They’re great for controlling vanity lights, lamps and accent lights. Easy to use with Alexa.
