Wifi Smart Plug Set of 2 Mini Smart Outlet Compatible with Alexa Remote Control By Smart Phone from Anywhere Anytime (2 Packs)

Easy to set up and use with amazon echo dot. These were the best price I could find for a pair or set of four so I bought another pair two days after the first set set arrived!

One of them flickers on and off repetitively but the other one has worked flawlessly. Maybe theyre just too cheaply made and it was dropped during shipment but one them didnt suffer as much.

These work great and the software that controls them works great with my iPhone. You can set up to 720 on/off cycles per day ((24 hrs/day * 60 minutes per hour) / 2 for on/off) with the same setting for each day or different settings for different days. I use it as a security light to randomly turn on and off the lights through the night. It also interfaces with my Alexa, thus giving me the option to manually control the plugs from either my iPhone or from Alexa. Setting it up is easy, although there is no documentation that states it only interfaces with 2.4GHz wifi networks. I initially tried setting it up with my 5GHz, but it only gave me frustration. Once I figured out to use the 2.4, everything went great.

In the end these plugs are a good product for the price. Like just about every tech product Ive ordered from China, the instructions appear to lack editing by a native fluent speaker. Another problem, also typical, is that the Android store has multiple apps that have similar confusing names; use Smart Lifes QR code or go with the icon of the blue house with the beaming icon in the corner of the icon. Also typical, the setup and user interfaces of Amazon Alexa, Google Home and the manufacturers own site are in flux and the teeny stamp sized instruction pages are out of date and only somewhat useful to configure the products. This is as much the fault of Google and Apple as the manufacturer. Luckily you can search online and get them working. So far, the outlets work fine and are really quite handy. They click loudly so I hope the solenoid switches last. Also, the first time I plugged in each plug neither of them powered up. Simply unplugging and re-inserting them solved that. Weird. Alexa App on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) was pretty easy to setup and definitely works much better, responds with near instantaneous speed typical of Alexa. Google Home was a total nightmare due mainly to Google Homes arcane and nearly secret menu to simply add a plug and link between Google Home and the Smart Life app. Once setup, Google Home then has this way cumbersome two step process every time you issue a command where it hands you off to the Smart Life app, which then converses in its own slow-paced voice...and then wants to keep chatting w/ you every time you turn a light on/off. Theyll eventually figure it out. Although they display the IFTTT logo in their listing, IFTTT is not appearing among the list of supported Home Automation services in the Smart Life app. Maybe its another hour of deciphering the mysteries of cheap Chinese-made iOT gadgets. The Smart Life App is a privacy invasion fire storm - to setup and use the app you must agree to let them track and share your age, height, weight, birthdate, sleep patterns, location and activities, to name a few! Theres almost nothing they dont require in order to setup the app, including WiFi and old style 2 GHz network, i.e. if you have a router thats under 5 years old you might have to configure your mobile device to use the old 2GHz mode. After that, your mobile device can go back to using a modern 5GHz network. I control these using Amazon Dash Wand, a $20 device that includes a $20 credit. Amazon Wand deftly handles turning on/off lights faster than any family member, roommate or bedtime partner ever will.

Easy to setup. Integrated with my Alexa show. Great addition to my smart home!

UPDATE: 10-27 Stopped working with Alexa. I had to factory reset delete the skill re enable the skill still wont work. Basically a POS. Really sad because at first I thought these were junk, then they worked (after some effort) now they stopped working with Alexa and I cannot get them to function properly. Crap, stay away from this product you get what you pay for. I had trouble getting one of the devices to connect to wifi even though they were both in the same place when I was setting them up. A second plug barely fits if it has a ground. Will update after usage.

Good price on these. The only hold back on the 5th star was the app that came with the plugs, didnt have a schedule to turn off and on the switches at a specific time, so had to use IFTTT to set it up. Again for the price they worked great after I got it setup

bought these to use on pretty much everything. i use them on my lamps, crockpot, fans, xmas lights, and other items in my house. they are easy to set up and work great!

These units are basic problem is you cannot schedule them like other smart plugs

I love these!! The directions weren’t super helpful but I figured it out easily enough. Download the app for the plugs first then use your log in from that app to connect to Alexa. Super awesome to say, “Alexa turn on the lamp!” And she does! Haha
