WiOn 50050 Indoor WiFi Plug With 1 Grounded Outlet; White

I love my WIONs!! Connecting to the app on my smartphone, I can control down to the minute when my Christmas interior Christmas lights turn on and off, and can control each day individually. Super-convenient when you want to turn the lights off when you go to bed and get up.

I had high hopes for this smart outlet. My home has been completely renovated as a smart home, so Ive tried just about all of these types of outlets on the market. This is one of the bulkiest hunks of junk Ive tried. This one at first took 3 days to pair with my Wifi router. I thoroughly consulted the poorly worded troubleshooting section of the manual. Keep in mind, Im a computer scientist. Most of the manual did not make sense (broken English, poor sentence structures). After I finally got this thing to work, a slew of other problems arose. The app would constantly freeze or crash (Yes, my iPhone is updated). Eventually, after a month the device completely stopped working. No lights, no pairing, nothing. I am now outside of my Amazon return window. Quite frankly, Im so frustrated with this thing, I wouldnt even waste my time driving it to the post office.

When I first bought the smart plugs (have 2), the app worked okay, though a bit quirky. We upgraded our iPhones and learned that the app is not compatible with IOS 16. Hence the product description is no longer correct and is deceiving.

I already had an outdoor Wion outlet, so it was a no-brainer to get these indoor models. Set up is so easy, and you can set a timer for the outlet. App is easy to use.

I bought two of these last year and liked them since they worked well with a timer. Bought more this year and could not install them since apparently it doesn’t work with iOS 16. I ended up using my old phone to get them working but that was a pain in the butt after spending 2 hours trying to get them connected to my phone and talking to their online chat person.

This app works amazing no crashing. A bit tricky to set up but it’s so much better than the smart home app which constantly crashes

Price was cheap but got what I paid for. Directions leave a lot to be desired. Had to add yet another app. I can only get to work when on same router, not remotely. Never could get it to work with Alexa. I think it needs a separate app or something. Quit trying.

Bought several of these to use with a few lamps around the house in order for lights to turn on/off while on vacation. Previously used dial and digital plug in timers that had to be manually set. The WiOn works great and can be controlled from your phone. The phone feature is really useful for when you are coming home after dark and want to turn on a light or two to greet you or if you forgot to turn the light timer on before you left! Setup is fairly easy to figure out and once done, youre good to go. The phone app is not all that fancy and could use an upgrade on the user interface overall look. But that said, the app is quite functional and works well. I would definitely recommend this product.

Isnt technology grand! Easy setup! Directions are fairly clear. Read the tip: setup the WiON close to your cell/tablet and follow the app instructions, -Plug the unit in -run the app -enter the info I purchased this unit to regulate power, 3 hours on, 5 hours off for 24 hours a day. Easy as pie to set the on and off times within the app. What did confuse me a little is the power off and on button which took me a few minutes to realize is an override for the programmed timers.

Just set this up yesterday, and it worked perfectly. It was easy to set up and program. I already have one hard-wired switch installed and am working on doing three more. I may buy two more of these plug-in modules for holiday decorations.
