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

They work great as long as they are close enough to the WiFi. The lighting that was attached kept cutting off at random intervals. The only solution was to move the WiFi router closer to where I was using the Smart Plugs, no easy task but it worked.

Works well with a wall lamp. But doesnt turn on any appliance that has an on off switch. It wont turn on the appliance without manual intervention. It will turn off or on the wall socket it is plugged into. Also, seems to have a power limit. When plugged into an appliance that draws some serious wattage, it turns itself off.

This is the second kinds of plugs I ordered to go with my echo dot. First kind I could not get set up, these set up so easily. And Alexa does just what I want her to do with them. Will be ordering more

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

Does not seem to reconnect to wi-fi if it drops for whatever reason like my smart switch does (different manufacturer). After I disabled my 5GHz wifi to only 2.4GHz, (no big deal for speed) the app loaded fine otherwise would just crash on my Android 8.0 Pixel 2. Had to dig into the Google Home app but I do have it paired up with it. Going to get at least one light switch as well.

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!

In order to use this device, you have to download yet another app called Smart Life, set up the plug and then add it to the Alexa skills. I have not been able to figure out how to turn on the fan for 6 hours in the laundry room. I can turn it on but not schedule it to turn it off. The app is in very MVP mode. When you click on many of the buttons you get this is for demo only message. Hopefully they are counting clicks to see where people are looking to use the app.

They work great! I love the schedule capability. Only problem is they are a little difficult to set up. Great Price at $15 each compared to others out there. Small footprint too.

Summary Pros: -Google Home compatible after downloading the SmartLife app and linking to your assistance -No need for additional steps/requests (turn on x outlet works immediately) -quality outlets at a competitive price -No lag in turning on (though my Home is near the outlets so perhaps distance may affect this in further rooms) Cons: -only one Smart plug will fit in a traditional 2 outlet setup (however you CAN stilluse the 2nd outlet with a traditional plug) Full review: Being brand new to home assistants (specifically Google Home) I purchased this Smart Plug set of 2 as a trial based on the price. I do not have a hub and have heard mixed reviews of hubless items- specifically that they are not as easy to direct and require an additional request. This turned out to not be the case and Im definitely ordering more! First: packaging is simple yet effective. Each comes in its own box with instructions, paired in a little bag. Setup was simple. I decided to test one on my fish tank light. Once plugged in it immediately entered setup mode (instructions for reset to use elsewhere are of course provided) then I downloaded the SmartLife app through Google Home. After a simple click to add a new device it located the outlet and I was able to name it. This was the big test. I had heard non-hub devices require you to ask Google to access the app before requesting to turn on the device but this was not necessary. You simply ask to turn on x light and immediately it does so. Im very pleased at this product and highly recommend it! Just keep in mind that you can only use one smart plug in an outlet as the diameter is too large to fit two (however this DOES NOT block you from being able to use the other outlet with a traditional plug). Smart home, on a budget!

I used them for a lamp in my living room and a wall light in my bedroom. Very easy to use and works great so far. I connected them with Echo. Good thing is that you can name each plug whatever name you want. So I simply named them as “livingroom light” and “bedroom light”. Now when I come home I just tell Alexa to turn on the livingroom light for me. Never need to walk to the light switch in the dark anymore(yay!).
