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

Work great with Alexa and with the button on the side for those rate occasions when wifi is down. Easy to install, but you have to have the phone VERY close to the device when youre first connecting for the app to find it. After installed, works perfectly. The only problem Ive encountered is if youre turning on more than one thing, you have to wait until Alexa is completely done processing the first command and then a few seconds after before you can command her to turn on something else. I would love to have these on everything in my house!

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.

As long as you can follow directions, this product works well. When integrating this with Amazon Echo devices, it does take a few steps to set these up. However, once set up, they are excellent.

Works OK so far, but this device worries me from a security point of view. Cheap but scary. I disabled all the Android Smart Life apps permissions in Settings->Apps after configuring the device. Why did the app literally need every permission known to man on my Android phone to simply configure the device? What REALLY worries me is the amount of data the device moves to/from The Cloud---constantly. Is it eavesdropping on my local LAN traffic? Or, is it a Trojan Horse waiting for instructions from hackers lurking in the shadows in another country? Over the last 7 days the device downloaded 18 Mbytes and uploaded 135 MBytes of data (see photo)! More than a bit worrisome. The rate has slowed down to ~120 Kbyte/6 MBytes down/up per 24 hour period over the last few days, but what possibly can be going on? I dont want a rogue IOT device in my house participating in botnet shenanigans!

Love them, very convenient. However it does not work with my plug in lights. My lamp it works great but just string lights it won’t work with :(

They frequently fall off my network and have to be manually reset. Can be challenging when plugged into outlet located behind furniture. Work great when they are connected. Not so fun when I have to go through and reprogram 8 outlets.

Convenient but feels like it is missing some functionality. Cant get it to pair with IFTTT which would be nice to be able to turn lights off when I leave the house. First order had a dud but the company was quick in shipping me out a new one. Great customer service.

Im giving a pretty high review because I easily set up both of these using the default approach, and the price is good for the feature set. I downloaded the Smart Life app on iOS, created an account (yes, it requires your phone number...Im not too troubled by that). I had one problem giving my full Wifi SSID password, it was too long to enter into the Smart Life app on iOS. So I attached these to my guest network which has a shorter password (and probably a good idea anyway). If not for this one problem I might give a 5-star review. There was also a backup connection approach which makes these their own temporary WiFi AP (a lot of devices do this as an alternative connection means). I did not need to use that, as the plan A approach worked fine for me. I renamed each of these to a good straightforward name and enabled the Alexa Smart Life smart home skill, and discovered the devices. All of this worked flawlessly and I can use the app or Alexa to control these. The Smart Life skill also supports IFTTT for the more advanced home automation tinkerers. My only concern, I guess, is that these require a cloud platform to stay running for them to continue to work - and that means ongoing costs. If the company ever decides to shut this down, these no longer function. Although made in China my two units both connect to EC2 instances in US-West-2 on the MQTT port. You can easily check this by checking your local router to find the assigned IP, then search in the list of open ports what target IP and port they connect to, and then run a whois to find ownership of the related IP block. Anyway, Im counting on these staying operative but I guess there is no guarantee. EDIT: Ive been using these for many months and theyre still great.

These units are fine so long as you have uninterrupted power. But when the power goes off and on again, these units have to be manually reset. The problem seems to be that if the WiFi router isnt up and running when these units are powered on, they will simply hang until you manually reset them ... sort of defeats the purpose of a smart home when the devices are so idiotic.

Not compatible with 5 GHz, but works great on 2.4.
