WiOn 50050 Indoor WiFi Plug With 1 Grounded Outlet; White

I really like these, had 4 and just bought 2 more. But they constantly say “looking for router”…. Doubt they are both faulty! After some online research I discovered they are not compatible with new iOS 16 and there is no indication this will be updated soon. That’s ashame…

This What is a purchase of being addition to add to our Wi-Fi control systems. Over the past three years they have been very reliable.

What a product! What a convenience! I bought this and WiOn 50052 and 50049 and they have made my life Sooooo much easier. Im using 50052 for the lights on the front porch which is controlled from a switch inside the front door, use this for the living room and 50049 for outside lights which light up outside landscape. All controlled from one app on my iPhone. Although they are all scheduled and dont need me to mess with them every day, but I, often, override the schedule and change them as needed; from home or if Im miles away. As long as I have internet connection, which is almost anywhere, Im connected. Writing this review five months after purchase and very very happy with them. Highly recommended.

Just awful! It does not remember whether its supposed to be on or not, if the power goes out. It just shuts itself off. If you have it plugged in, and its on, and there is a blip in your power, then when the power comes back on, the Wion switch decides to be off, even if it supposed to be on. Has its own internal timer that when I set it to come on at 12:00 am and turn off at 11:59 pm (always on) it still will not turn itself on if the power goes out. You would think that a smart outlet would know whether its supposed to be on or not, by checking the Schedule when it comes on. It doesnt do that. Just stays off.

LOVE! This is my 3rd one. Easy setup to add to the app. Works off Wi-Fi, so after power outage they work properly with settings you have established on the app. Easy to change timer options. I have used for years and never had any problems and now the price is unbeatable!

The item works as stated to a point. The installation is easy. The main issue Ive has is the consistancy of the app working properly and with minimal grief. I have two devices controlled by Wion and both are on the app. When I travel, upon opening the app, the wrong device shows it is on. If I reopen the app, it switches the item that shows it is on. In other words, I never know how the app will show the exact device that is really on. It may show a lamp in the living room on when it really is not when all the while the kitchen light was on instead but it was shown to be off. When super close to the house, it seems to work better. Maybe Wion will fix this soon. I do like the device overall.

Good product

I use it to remotely turn a space heater on in my work shop. Simple set up and works every time.

10 minutes to install and test the system. My original low voltage landscape lighting unit is ole school dial timer switch. Each season I would painstakingly remove the timer pegs to align with the new dusk/dawn (sunrise-sunfall). Most times it was miss instead of hit. I would play with these pegs and finally get it right-so lights come on just at night fall. Just as I got it timed right, it is time to change seasons(daylight savings central time-zone USA). 1.Installed the free app. 2. Plugged the WiON directly in electrical outlet where landscape light box was previously plugged 3. Plugged light box into Wion 4. In App setup the on & off times according to local sunset-sunrise data. 5 Sit back enjoy hands- free control of landscape lights. First attempt in getting this item to function was highly successful. Also noticed that I could manually control the lights with my smartphone through the free APP. This coming Fall season, I can simply see what time it gets dark and go to the app and set that time for each day of the week. Awesome function, convenience & price for automating my exterior lighting!

The device is supposed to connect to your homes router, but when I scan for networks, it doesnt see either of my two home Wi-Fi networks. It sees my neighbors networks, but doesnt see mine. There must me some incompatibility with my router. My internet service is Spectrum and the router is provided by Spectrum. Without being able to connect to your router makes it useless.
