Wyze Plug, 2.4GHz WiFi Smart Plug, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, No Hub Required, Four-Pack, White

I bought some Leviton smart outlet plugs and bought these as well. I used these during the Christmas season. Wreathes, Trees, Christmas Villages, Garland, etc. Integrate well with Alexa. Alexa: Turn on Christmas lights. The Wyze app works well to turn them all on/off at once or individually (by name.) Of course Alexa will do that too. But-what I noticed was a wifi reliability issue. One or more plug would drop or lose wifi connectivity. What a pain. Lights would stay on when they were scheduled to turn off. Or they wouldnt turn on. I would have to reprogram them. Just a headache. Not sure if there will be a firmware update to address these issues. That would be great. As far as recommending these plugs - Ill say this, dont expect a perfect, trouble-free relationship. Just know that going in.

This is a GREAT product. Just buy it. FIVE STARS! A great compliment to home security. Can make you look like your home when you’re not through automated “vacation mode” light controls. And much more. Originally I gave it a one star review bc the plug kept dropping off wifi connection. Basically making the plug not an ideal choice for home security. However, there was an OTA firmware update two weeks ago. Since then, none of my plugs have dropped off wifi. Very stable now. Plugs work great now. AMAZING product. Thanks Wyze! p.s. below was my original one star review for context ******** I am a loyal Wyze customer. I have many of their products in my house from cameras, outdoor floodlights, plugs, etc. In total, about 17 wyze products in my home. Many of my Wyze products are GREAT. So it pains me to have to write a negative review on their smart plug. These smart plugs have a huge flaw - they randomly disconnect from their wifi connection. And their is no way to reestablish the wifi connection unless you are physically next to the plug and have to do a hard physical restart. The plug is incapable of reestablishing wifi connection automatically. And you can not prompt it to do so remotely via the app on your smartphone. Since most people will use this plug to control lights when they are away for security reasons (vacation, coming home late from work, etc), this random wifi drop problem makes it a terrible choice as part of a home security setup. Went on two vacations recently. Both over a week long. A few days into each vacation, my app started showing a few of my plugs as “off line”. Basically you can’t control them remotely and they are no long working. Basically your home security with lights going on and off at night is gone. I’ve spoke to customer service many times on this issue. I’ve done it all - hard resents, turning off 5ghz on router so plug can connect to 2.4ghz, erase/reinstall app, etc. Nothing works. When you google this issue, there’s a lot of people out there experiencing the same thing with this plug. Wyze has openly stated they are aware of the issue and have sent firmware updates to fix it. Firmware update have been sent, but the issue is not fixed. This is the first negative Amazon review I have ever written. I hope Wyze reads this and understands that loyal customers of Wyze are super frustrated over this issue. PLEASE FIX THIS. It’s my hope that you can fix this asap. And then I can turn this one star review into a five star! Thank you

My living room has two lamps for its primary lighting since it is not wired to any overheads. I was tired of always shuffling to each side of the couch and cranking each one to turn the lights on before sitting down. Most people have a switch wired to overhead lighting but I am unfortunately not one of those people. My solution to this first world inconvenience was to purchase these plugs in conjunction with a Google home mini for controlling both lamps. The plugs work flawlessly for my needs and I havent had any connectivity issues since setting this system up. My google home is a bit slow for voice recognition but as soon as the signal goes through, the plugs switch on power simultaneously and shed glorious light on my little room. Very pleased with my purchase!

These plugs work great. I bought four and three worked great. Had a problem with one but customer support took care and sent me a new one. I use them for lighting all over the house. Especially like the schedule feature. Very powerful and flexible.

I was excited to upgrade my Christmas decor in my living room by using the plugs so now I just have to say Alexa, turn on Christmas or Alexa, turn off Christmas and my Christmas tree and electric fireplace both turn on or off. Its nice when youre running out of the house.

The wise plug works well. Turns an item on and off. It could benefit from a dimmer function that allows us to turn an attached light up or down in brightness. We had this capability on our X-10 plug devices 25 to 30 years ago.

Love these. Actually so far I’m pleased with all of Wyze products.

I have now bought a scale and several plugs made by Wyze. They are seriously the most solid/reliable/easy to use connected products. I’m thinking about switching my entire house over to Wyze products. They have earned my trust.

I purchased a singular plug and the setup was very easy and I loved it so much I bought another package of 2. If you have an Alexa this is so easy to control on/off of any device plugged into it with just voice command! Well worth the money.

I have bought WYZE equipment previously and found it great. So I bought 3 color lightbulbs and 2 plugs. Of the plugs, the first failed totally. The second said it had to be updated - so I clicked update firmware - and it failed. This went on for 8 tries. I finally contacted customer support and they led me through a series of complicated steps that finally got it to work. Took about 2 hours. I went on the web and this seems to be a recurrent problem since August 2022 with no prospect of a fix. It is dumb to sell something that immediately has to be updated and cant be updated. Of the 3color lightbulbs. One updated sucessfully (hooray), one failed, and I finally got the 3rd to run, but I still cant get the firmware to update so I am stuck with obsolete firmware. So of 5 items, 2 are working, 1 sort of works, and 2 are in the tech recycling bin. And I wont ever buy WYZE again. I give it 2 stars because 2/5 actually work well.
