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

After a bit of fumbling with getting the app installed and the plugs synched everything has gone smoothly. Im very happy with these and will certainly purchase from Vont when I want to expand the smart functionality in my home.

YOU HAVE TO INSTALL VONTS APP AS WELL?? cant just put into Alexa, must have 2 apps for this to work :( annoying

After a couple of days of messing around with it and uninstalling and reinstalling the app (plus many other steps) I was able to figure out kinda how it works. It shouldnt be this hard for someone who is actually not technically illiterate. I like the concept and was really hoping this was going to be a plug and play device with easy app maneuverability. I had my wife set-up the second one on her phone and she had the same problems I did. Just had to make sure it wasnt me.

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.

Nice smart plugs at a good value - easy to set up and they work well. Things I liked 1. Alexa integration - easy to talk to Alexa to turn lights on and off 2. app makes setup easy and control easy as well 3. vacation mode is great - allows to set up a schedule and control remotely

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.

I received these smart plugs from Vont as a product tester and found them to work very well. I installed the Vont Home app on my Android phone, which easily discovered and added the two devices. I then linked the smart plugs to both Alexa and Google Home and found these apps to be a very simple way to control the switches. Here are what I found to be the smart plugs pros and cons... Pros: • Very simple and fast to discover and pair with Vont Home app and to integrate with Alexa & Google Home. • Two plugs fit nicely onto one standard outlet (see pic). • Blue LED indicator may be enabled/disabled in Vont Home app, which is nice for rooms where these LEDs could be distraction or cause of insomnia. • Solid, heavy feel. • Higher 15 amp max is great for higher draw items such as heaters (see pic) or dumb coffee makers -- I connected an old coffee maker to one of these plugs and made an Alexa skill where saying Alexa, make coffee! would start my coffee maker on demand, and Alexa, Im cold! would turn on my heater. • Very fair/low price in my opinion. Cons: • The Vont Home app still needs refining (which Vont is doing) to make it easier and more clear to use. While it was easy to discover & add the plugs, the apps shortcomings are mainly small things like the color difference between on and off switch is gray vs. slightly darker gray (see pic) instead of green vs. red, for example. Setting up timers with Vont Home is a bit clunky. With the simple Alexa or Google Home integration I honestly dont see any need to use the Vont Home app once the plugs are set up. I highly recommend these plugs, and thank Vont for giving me the opportunity to test them.

Constantly drop off of Wi-Fi and you set-up every time. I’ve had them for 5 months and I had to set them up more than ten times. So if you’re ok with constantly setting up a Wi-Fi device this is for you.

I bought these plugs for my grow lights so I can keep my indoor plants on a light schedule. Integrating the plugs to Alexa was pretty straightforward but what I noticed was that the lights would turn on and off 50% of the time when the plugs were put on a schedule. I end up checking my phone every day to make sure that the lights are actually on or off. I bought the plugs to make my life more convenient but it seems to be doing the opposite.

Constant struggles using app and device connection. Nowhere near worth the hassle!
