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

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!

These plugs are super easy to install, and the app makes it simple to set up schedules that can be applied to one or more devices. The main disadvantage (which dropped a star from this rating) is that if Amazon’s AWS servers go down, you can no longer communicate with these plugs, and they will not automatically change state with the schedule. Rather frustrating when you expect all your Christmas lights to turn on automatically and they don’t because the AWS servers have an issue.

I never tried to use with Alexa. But I will say that the app to turn on and off works well. I have some Kasa devices that the scheduling was much simpler to use, but did figure it out. I use this at a property to turn lights on and off at irregular times different days, and so the schedule took me several tries to get them to work. No issues with connectivity.

Great price. Great functionality. Get one today! Easy to setup and use. You can use the app to create routines to schedule outlet on/off, etc. Also can trigger the outlet on from other Wyze sensor devices, etc. We have several of these and they have consistently worked great.

Works exactly as expected. Works well with Google Home (most of the time) and Wyze app and Wyze automation.

Really easy to set up and get working. Read several reviews about have problems with firmware update . When you open the app , Do not go to the device to update the firmware , go to your account (bottom right of your phone app) and find the firmware update menu and use it to update . If you go to the device to update the firmware it might hang . Try it !

Amending my review to add stars. After my plug stopped working, customer service shipped me a pack of two plugs to replace the 1 that doesnt work. Happy with the resolution.

I had two hooked up and they worked fine but within 3 months one of the units began to work intemittently and began to cycle on and off on its own. And after going to the Wyze site, theyre policy is if you didnt purchase from their web site, they wouldnt process any returns. And of course Amazon says you have to contact the manufacturer to process the return after their grace period. Not a good way to get repeat customers of any worthy reviews!!!!!!!

This was my second purchase of Wyze plugs. The first were a bit of a pain to set up because I had to go outside to get far enough away from my router so my phone would switch to the 2Ghz channel, since the plugs only support 2Ghz. But this tactic wasnt working for my new plugs. After extensive online searches I realized that I had purchased a new revision of the plug that uses a Bluetooth connection between the phone and the plug during set up. The two versions look nearly identical so I had no idea. So the upshot is that this revision is far superior to the previous. Way easier to set up. But the packaging or instructions could have been more helpful in identifying which version I had. Apart from that minor detail I am very happy with these plugs. Theyre inexpensive yet reliable. I would buy again. I link them with Google Home but no reason to think they wont also work flawlessly with Alexa.

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.
