> 3 dayWork 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!

> 3 dayI love these things!! I mean.. it only took me 20 hours to figure out how to install, but work great! Im having fun with them! Just a hassle that if you change the name of the outlet later on down the road, you have to discover new device on alexa. Also, hate that you have to download the app, especially if I buy different devices from a different company, Ill end up having 20 different light apps on my phone!

> 3 dayThese little guys are simple, but great :) got them for our Christmas tree, but weve continued using them with a lamp and some leftover Christmas lights we have up. Theyre easy to use with the Smart Life app, and I even hooked up some easy shortcuts with IFTTT, including the ability to have them turn on when I get home! Definitely recommend these

> 3 dayI got these for Christmas and really didnt get what to do with them. We put one on our fan in the bedroom and programmed it to go on before bed and off after we get up. I use the other one on my straightener since I often forget to turn it off. I installed the app on my phone so I can check remotely and turn it off it I find I have left it on. Now that I have them I can think of lots of uses for them.

> 3 dayThese work very well with my lamps. I would give them 5 stars but I thought the directions to link w/the Echo could be a little more clear; it wasnt too difficult though, just took a few minutes.

> 3 dayThey 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.

> 3 dayOriginal: Seems to be working in its own app, and as a group under the Wink skill. I will bump up to five stars if it keeps working. Note that this is not a dimmer. It is relay controlled, and it makes quite a loud click when it turns off and on. Nothing too bad, but just know you wont be able to control your light brightness with this. Update: Lights are kicking off and back on every so many minutes. It lasts about 1/2 second. You can tell by the light flicker, and the loud clicking of the relay. Down one star to 3. I will return. Update 12/28: I have learned to live with these plugs. The light turning off and back on had something to do with the apps timer function. Both now work reliably. My only complaint is they do not dim (yes, I knew they did not dim when I purchased them, but its still a negative), and that they are quite loud when they switch. Update 4/11/18: Inadvertent off/on problem returned. It just flashes off for a second every 10-15 minutes, and you can hear the relay click from the next room. Do not recommend this product. There are far better and less expensive options out there.

> 3 dayI was really excited about getting these outlets. My room is really dark and I wanted a quick and easy way to turn on numerous lamps at once. The set up was relatively easy and when the outlets work it is great. The biggest problem is that one of my outlets will regularly just turn off, therefore turning off the lamp. Then I have to go back into the app and turn it back on. This is quite annoying and frustrating. The app is a little slow to load too. My other outlet in the same room does not have this issue though and has been great.

> 3 dayI bought these as a gift for a friend. When I tried to set them up, I found that his Spectrum-installed router had assigned the exact same name to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. for some reason, the band selected always defaults to the 5GHz. I was unable to find a way around the issue. I kept them, and they work perfectly on 2.4GHz at my home.

Greater than one weekConvenient 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.
