> 3 dayIt took me forever to figure this out. You must use the same email for Smart Life and Amazon or it will not discover the device.

> 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 dayThey work well. Love being able to tell Alexa to turn the lights on and off. The app allows one to control the lights from anywhere. Timers can also be set up. I will be buying more.

> 3 dayOverall Its a good product but after a few months one of the two plugs died. I still have 1 plug and it still works as intended after 2 years

> 3 dayDoes 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.

> 3 dayThey 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.

Greater than one weekI waited a long time for these, but they were worth the wait!!! I am a low tech person and I managed to get them set up and linked to Alexa. They work great. I am enjoying using voice commands to turn things on and off.

> 3 dayI used WeMo for 6 years and hated its slow sluggish response. The WeMo app is a piece of crap where it constantly freezes and fails to find devices. WeMo device themselves drops wifi connection aggressively. This new smart plug immediately connected to the wifi in 3 seconds and was ready in 4 seconds. WeMo took me 5 minutes to setup where this took 7 seconds max. I installed the app login and adding new device just took me 7 seconds. Warning there are lots of fake ones with the same name and the QR codes takes you to the wrong one. You are looking for Smart Life app. Then in Alaxa app I added the Skills called Smart Life from Alaxa skills market. Then after 20 seconds the linking was done. After scan it was all ready and connected. Both with the Android app and with Alaxa training on and off is 8 times faster then WeMo. Sooooooooo happy I bought this. Small, fast, and cheap.

Greater than one weekIm very happy with these smart plugs. I have three of them and they were super easy to connect and work perfectly. They were extremely simple to connect (with the smarthome app) and then it was really easy to link those to google home. It was actually an easier and better process than my hue lights. Now I can turn these switches on and off any time with my phone or home mini. My kids can turn them on my talking to my google mini, which they LOVE to do. The app is really easy and allows you to set up one-time or repeating schedules (by day, if you want). Thats basically what I want it for: To turn on my fans in the evening when people go to bed. They were cheap, they do everything they promise, they are unobtrusive, and they are fun. Whats not to like?
