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

I decided to try these as an upgrade over old school outlet timers. One on the coffee pot and one for a lamp. It’s fairly easy to setup but not immediately intuitive for non tech types. It requires using their app and it requires internet access. The app allows linking up Wyze sensors as triggers or setting any type of schedule. I guess IFTTT has some actions that can be used as well. But no Apple Homekit integration and that’s for all Wyze to date. I believe they do work with Alexa and google home. Basically once in the app, you can setup action, schedules and shortcuts. What I like is it’s easy to over ride the schedule by simply going to the app to turn on or off rather than reaching down behind a cabinet or table to reach a timer to manually hit the on off button, although these also have the physical button. For lamps, there is a vacation mode that I believe randomizes the on off schedule. It would be useful if they added a dusk to dawn function or allow selecting dusk and or dawn individually for lamp scheduling. What I don’t like is no ability to edit the WiFi setup without resetting and starting over and reliance on internet access. So far I’ve only had one failure to turn on when scheduled, not sure why. For the cost, it’s cheaper than a plug-in timer and offers 15amp capacity for things like coffee makers. Overall, I’d buy again but would like to see easier ability to edit WiFi setup and zero reliance on internet once setup.

Some of these are connected to devices so I can have small space heaters turn on/off by a schedule.. and others just give me a way to restart a device that maybe 60 miles away. Also had one on my coffee pot, so it would automatically turn off if I forgot, by gps location in Alexa.. Good way to make non smart devices better on the electric bill, or give you some peace of mind that you may have forgot t whatever small appliances on.. I can always double check from the app if that silly coffee mark was left on or not.

Work great, does what it says. I use this for my wyze cam v3 which from time to time freezes and needs power cycling. So I just remotely turn the wyze plug off and then on rather than unplugging the camera.

In app troubleshooter was literally no help, but Wyze support helped me get them working again. Would be better to just include the troubleshooting instructions than to send to a broken chatbot and then a link for support that doesn’t work and then go back and forth with a live agent. But they did help me get it working again.

these things are great for christmas lights and such.

Ive had this companies products for YEARS and they have worked great up until a few weeks back, when their cloud service either got hacked or broke for no reason. Then all my plugs and garage door openers stopped working. I didnt receive any emails or warning that they were going to perform an upgrade to their service, which leads me to believe that something got hacked. When their products work, they are GREAT! The interface and integration with Google Home works well. Ill keep using them, since they still seem to work, just hope the company stays in better communication with stuff next time they need to upgrade their end/software. Also, they dont have the best wifi, so make sure your plugs or garage door controller is pretty close. I have a mesh network on my property and havent had a plug, even with the devices sometimes showing a log signal.

The Wyze software sucks. Every time I set up a new plug the firmware needs to be updated before it can be used and I would have to do the update process many times before it stops failing to update. The whole process was very frustrating. I integrate it with google home and the integration process sucks too. Logging into wyze through the google home app, it would not recognize my password and I have to reset it. Once synced, it usually works fine but once in a long while, it will become not accessible through google home and need to be resynced with Wyze account again and usually it wont recognize my Wyze password again and I have to reset it. I only use a few smart plugs and lights. I wonder if it is really worth the trouble to set up a real smart home considering the hassle I went though with just these.

These are great. They allowed me to turn my remote control lamps into smart lamps I can turn on and off with my voice or the wyze app. And it works from wherever I am, even if Im not at home. Also they are easily portable and reusable for other devices! Straight forward and easy setup!

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.

Life is so much easier when all you need to do is say Alexa turn on floor lamp or turn off floor lamp,especially when youre disabled... I have more coming to make my home more Alexa friendly & easier for me...
