WiOn 50055 Indoor Wi-Fi Plug-In USB Wall Tap; 1 Grounded Outlet; 2 USB Ports

The instructions are a mess. It would be funny if it wasnt so frustrating. For example the end of a para says ... proceed to next step to begin the smartphone setup The next step says Once you have finished connecting the WiOn Outlet to a WiFi router... The problem is the instructions for connecting are somewhere else on the page, its out of order.

I decided to buy 2 different types, this wion and also the ihome plug. As another reviewer said, if you expect various intermitent power outages, when the power of back up, the wion DOES NOT RECONNECT to be controlled from distance, where the ihome does not seem to have a problem. To solve this problem, in the last 2 months, I press the sent debugging email button in the app, and 80% of the time, it reconnects, making me believe there is some human manual adjustment. When I put a note for the company that their ihome competitor does not have that problem and to let me know if they plan to solve this glitch, they gave me nonsense explanations totally discarding that the ihome works through their excuses. Too bad wion, this time the debugging email I sent you it did not reconnect my wion but it threw me in the reset connect new device screen and I am not about to drive 40 miles to reconnect it, I WILL INSTEAD RETURN IT!, too bad because your app seems to be more intuitive than ihomes amd the hardware seems fine, its on the software end were your denial exists! Bye!

Own over a dozen of these. Work great. Android app could do with updates and additional interfaces, like Alexa.

Easy to install - easy to use - works as advertised

I have found that when I plug more than one phone into the USB ports, the unit starts turning itself on and off repeatedly until I unplug one of the phones. It cant handle even one iPad before it starts doing this. It also doesnt matter if anything plugged into the 120 Volt outlet is on or off. Not built to sufficient capacity to handle charging of more than one device. I do like the nightlight that comes on and off according to sunrise/sunset times. Thats pretty cool.

Im skeptical of technology that is new like these wifi outlets. So much can go wrong with connection. So far, its been about 3 weeks and this little sucker is 100 miles away in my cabin and its online ANY time I have needed it. What I LOVE is that I can see if my propane heater is running (drawing current) so that I can safely power it down when I see that its not in burn mode. The timer function is really handy. The only thing I WISH it would do is come back on with the same configuration in a loss of power situation. I had the unit ON and simulated power loss by unplugging the wion from the wall. When I plugged it back in it reconnected to wifi but remained OFF. With all the tech in this, I would think some sort of mem config would be in order.

After a power outage it turns itself to a standby mode and the item being powered does not turn back on. You then have to turn it back on manually. THIS MAY ONLY BE MINE. Otherwise it works GREAT.

Ive got two of Wions products, this one and the outdoor version too. Timer functions are great but support is non-existent. Could not get either of these to work reliably on 4G or an outside WIFI network e.g. from work. I suddenly had a thought about wifi security having had issues years ago with another product. As soon as I set the 2.4GHz on the router to the least secure (WEP) - bingo, works every time. Not ideal I know but I use 5Ghz for other stuff at home and all I need to do is hide the 2.4GHz SSID for added security. It is not only Wi0n I had this issue with, other smart sockets too, those are now working as well. Hope this helps someone out.

Very satisfied.

Not work at all, garbage!!
