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 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.

I 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.

I had one of these plugs that I was never able to get to connect to the wifi. They were kind enough to replace it but it took me many attempts to get that second one connected. I was not able to set a schedule so had to manually turn it off and on through the app. Then, I changed internet providers and have not been able to get it reconnected. I have other plugs from Kasa that Ive had no trouble with at all.

I found the product to be excessively complicated unnecessarily for the simple purpose it was designed for.

The plugs work as expected and are easy to setup and connect with Alexa.

I was looking for a way to control my lights while away from home. These smart plugs were just what I was looking for. They easily connect to the app and can be controlled by my phone when ever I want. I would like to be able to create a schedule for extended vacations but there is a work around with the rules section. I’m told that this will be included on a future software update. I have also been able to link it to my Google Home Screen so I can simply ask Google to turn that light on or off without getting up.

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.

The vacation feature is great

You have to refresh multiple times to make sure they are off and on. Sometimes you turn the appliance off on the phone app and it won’t turn off so you need to keep refreshing it until it does. Eventually it will after a few times out of your lucky on the first try. It does the job tho.

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.
