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

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.

I have Wyze plugs, cameras, & doorbell. Love their prices (though dislike the country they come from) I can do anything with my app from across the country. Will always check out their new/older products Give them a try, you wont be disappointed

the only negative feature is that it doesn’t work with 5G network.

I bought these smart plugs to replace the timers I had connected to some small decorative lights in several rooms of the house. While the timers did their job, it was a pain in the neck to have to reset them as sunset changed with the seasons. With these smart plugs, I can simply set a schedule to turn them on at sunset, then off at a particular time. You can also set a Rule with additional options if you like. In addition, you can turn them on or off with a click on your phone if desired. So far, very happy with them.

It seems like every other day I have to go in and re-add one of these plugs to the app/network because it says its not available. Its not difficult to do, but if multiple go out at once, its difficult to see which one youre reconnecting to unless youre watching the flashing light patterns on each of them while going through the setup. Its just annoying to have to do this on a regular basis. When they do drop off, they still retain their schedule, so your lights will still turn on and off per the set schedule, but you lose the ability to manually turn them on/off with the app or with a connected assistant (google and alexa). Then, once you reconnect to them, if you dont do it the right way you lose the schedule for that plug and have to re-program that to get it to turn on/off automatically. Theyre easy to setup, configure, and manual button works fine if you can reach where these are plugged in. Firmware needed to fix the stability and reconnection on its own. My KASA plugs seem to not have this issue, whats so different in these?

I was in a car wreck and I have trouble getting around so if my floor lamp is behind a piece of furniture I cant get to it easily to turn it off and on and these work perfect. I have several around the house for lights and even one with a fan and they work with my Amazon echo which is so convenient.

EDIT: Gave it one last shot before returning it, rebooted and powered on, deleted my component in Wyze phone app and redone the setup there, connected to my 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz and VIOLA! - communication/working with Alexa and features working. So, Ill chalk it up to user error this time and change my review to a positive. Setup can be a bit tricky if you are unsure but overall, you will get it going. ..... I could not get Alexa to turn this plug on and off. Drops out my network and I have a clear line of site from it to the router. I reset it up and did everything again and still nothing, now Alexa doesnt even see it anymore. Setup is just iffy. Cannot even download the app to your PC. Disappointed.

these things are great for christmas lights and such.

I’ve purchased a number of these plugs and I love them. The last purchase I ordered a double pack. I used the first one and it was great. I didn’t instal the second one until months later. Unfortunately it doesn’t work and I can return to Amazon.

After reading many forum posts on these things not working for them. I wasted an hour wondering why mine wouldnt connect. Received mine first week of Feb 2021, and the app offers selection of two versions. Knowing there was no way possibly I would have the 2021 edition I tried and tried to use standard. Well. FIRST look on the back. If you see a little blue key icon. That means its the 2021 edition and uses Blutooth. Once I realized my obvious mistake setup was a breeze. IMPORTANT.. questions on forums people kept asking was about plugging a Space Heater into one. DONT! You will catch your house on fire. These are capped at 1500 watt rating, which is standard. But even seeing screenshots of people plugging Space Heaters into Power Strips (NEVER DO THAT!) it will melt in case of a fuse break. Be very mindful on the wattage and do your research before you set up stuff. Was using for fans and shoplights but a really cool idea people were showing was using one on those bluey led sky machines. Rigged mine up with one of these and its pretty sweet with Alexa!
