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

Got these smart plugs and use them seamlessly with my Alexa app to control the lights when I am away. The setup is easy through the Vont App. The app is easy to use and set up routines or you can set up the routine through Alexa The rectangular plug allows you to use both outlets unlike the round smart plugs from other companies.

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

First Ive tried for 2 days to get it set up. Thinking all I had to do was plug it and install the app. In Bluetooth i keep getting an error either app is needed to be used on device which i have installed it. Than i go to the app and it says device has been bound by others. I dont have no idea what that means. Well I decided to dig further in the little box and under the plugs i find 2 cards. And what do I find on one of the cards a FLIPPIN BUGGER!!! WHO DOES CRAP LIKE THIS? I mean I have many choice words I really want to use right now. Not being able to connect it and finding this I really wanna send it back. My kids dont even do crap like this. And no none of my kids got to the package b4 me. I opened the package it came with other stuff so it was boxed and inside another box. Im lost for words like really.

TLDR (long version below): About the only thing I could get to work right on these plugs was the manual on and off switch. Everything on the app never worked right. The scheduling function never worked basically at all (it would actually randomly switch my lamp on in the middle of the night, waking me up) and while I got the on and off switches on the app to eventually work, it took a while. I contacted their support about my issues and never heard back. Should’ve just bought a switch timer. Long version: I got these plugs because I was looking for something I could easily schedule to turn my lamp on and my fan off in the mornings to help wake me up and get me out of bed. These were not it. They were easy to setup; the main problem came with the app. When I first went to pair the plugs, the app had trouble finding my wifi. Then the plug software needed to update. That took forever (they say you can go off the page when it’s updating but that just ended up stopping the update). Finally, when that was done I went to go turn the plugs on and off on my app. Nothing. I tried unplugging, resetting, etc. Still nothing. The manual switch on them was still working fine, but turning them on and off manually defeats the whole purpose of getting these. Finally I just went to sleep. Tried them the next day. They finally worked, but only if I tried turning them on and off 2-4 times. Since time fixed the problem before, I thought maybe it might fix the problem now. Maybe the new software is causing an issue or something. I gave them a week and during that time looked at their FAQ and around the internet. I didn’t find anything helpful. Finally, the plugs were turning on and off reliably via my app. Now to set up a schedule on the app (the whole reason I got these). Didn’t work. Okay, I’ll give it some time. A few days later, my lamp was turning on and off. In the middle of the night. Randomly. I kept getting woken up from the hours of 1-4AM, when it was supposed to be turning on at 5:30AM. I checked time zones, did troubleshooting, etc. Did the same thing with my fan, which wasn’t turning off at any point despite the lamp and fan being set to turn on at the same time. The scheduling function just didn’t work. Turned the schedule off on my lamp so I could get some sleep, but kept it on for my fan just to see what would happen. A few days later it started to occasionally turn off when it was supposed to, and about a week after that it started to actually obey the schedule most of them time. The lamp was still a lost cause though. I also sent a help ticket in about my plugs since especially the lamp was still acting up and the many hours I had spent researching fixes for these problems had yielded nothing. They said I should get contacted within 24 hours about the issue. I never got contacted. I waited until my return window almost closed just in case they had a backlog and needed extra time. Nope. Ended up returning the plugs.

Product 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.

These Vont smart plugs (2-pack) were really easy to setup with their Vont Home app. After setup I was able to easily get Alexa to work with them as well. I can control both a floor lamp and Christmas Story Leg Lamp in my living room easily with the app or by voice using Alexa. I have also created a nightly schedule for them to turn on & off automatically. These have consistently worked well, and are much more versatile than using an old-fashioned plug-in timer that is DUMB. Love these!

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.

I use these to help balance the power drain of some of my appliances and set up lamps to come on automatically in the evening. Some of our appliances are difficult to reach and I love that these smart plugs have the ability to set up timers for my appliances.

Works great although app can use a design upgrade it can be a little confusing when setting up schedules. Would definitely buy again if needed.

Good price, good product so far with no issues. Complicated and a bit confusing to program. I figured it out after days
