WiOn 50051 Indoor Wi-Fi Smart Surge Protector; 6 Grounded Outlets

App is very bad. Had to upgrade to another model as I wanted to control individual outlets on a certain timed schedule for seed starting.

I bought this because my old outlet timer finally failed after 10 years. I was excited to see one linked to the network so I wouldnt have to set the time. It would just know the time. And, it does that. It does exactly that. I have been able to set a schedule for it, and it has worked that schedule like a champ. It is killing that need. Now the short comings. 1) As noted in their advertisement and description, all four wifi-enabled outlets are in a group, they are not individually controlled. So, thats a bummer, but not a deal breaker for me. But, why not include that feature? Its right there in front of you. 2) The app does not indicate what state the switch is in. Is it on? Is it off? No idea. Unless you venture to the room and look to see if anything is on or off. This makes it a bit more of a bummer, as I was hoping to get some use out of this when I was not near my home. Oh, did I leave this on?! .... I have no idea. The app doesnt say. 3) Getting my wifes phone app to work every time has not been ideal. I have trouble shot it every way I can, reboots, reinstalls, reconnects, refreshes, reprimands, regurgitations, everything. But, it remains that it is hit or miss if she will be able to pull up the app and control the device. I seem to have no problem with it, but her phone doesnt manage it as well. Which is odd, we have the same phones. And I have followed the directions for this multiple times. No improvement. Conclusion: Not a bad option but there is a lot of room for improvement. A lot of room.

Works

WiOn 50051 Indoor Wi-Fi Smart Surge Protector, 6 Grounded Outlets came on time and has worked as advertised so far. I would buy again.

I bought this to control lighting and fan ventilation on a timer for a heavily planted terrarium, and I really wanted to like it. I was getting tired of constantly turning on and off the lights, not to mention frequently forgetting to do it on time (resulting in a wide range of photoperiods from day to day, not good for plant growth). This worked great the first couple days, but then it started turning itself off at random times, anywhere from 3-10 pm (I have it set to shut off at 11 pm every day). Id turn it back on from the app, and the next time I checked (maybe an hour later), it had already turned itself off again. This has been happening every single day since the issue first started. In fact, using this outlet strip is probably more work than when I was turning the lights on and off myself manually. Ive deleted the daily timer program I set up and added it back again thinking that might help, but Im going to return it, its just way too unreliable. Its almost like its using random mode even though Ive set it up to use timer mode. The app also looks (and functions) like it was designed by a high school student... its terrible. TL;DR: zero stars, dont buy it

I could not get this product to function on account of the app.

This thing is a massive failure in my opinion. First, you only get 4 plugs that operate as a group. So all 4 shut off and on at the same time. Secondly, there is no way to reset the thing. If you happen to change WiFi, or even delete the device from your app, there is no coming back. I read somewhere that you have to completely take the device apart to reset it. Seriously? Now I have a device that I cannot access, which shuts off all plugs at 8pm. Wow. Junk. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on the TP-Link plug. Its amazing.

Bought this because my fiancee was always worried if she remembered to turn her straightener off when she left the house. Easy to set up and works great....PROBLEM SOLVED! Customer Support is great as well. I switched internet providers and they emailed me back promptly on how to reset and connect to a new network!

Great Product it does what it says it would do I put the Timer on and Poof there goes the Kids Devices (( WAY FOR THE PARENT TO UPGRADE THE GAME)) YOU DONT GO TO BED POOF THERE GOES THE POWER

Works ok. Make sure to have a strong signal to one wireless router because the device can only be assigned to one router. There is no automation API support. The company is secretive about it. Has limited purpose.
