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

Update to my original review - upgraded from 1 to 3 stars. Some of the recent firmware updates have improved the reliability of these smart plugs. I now have a total of 6 Wyze plugs. Been unable to purchase the Eufy ones that work well. Only had to reset / re-pair 2 of them in the last 3 months. Maybe by the end of the year, they wont be such a hassle to use. Still wont use them in hard to reach scenarios. ------------------------------------ We are a Wyze household and have been for many years. A lot of Wyze Cam V2, all of the V2 sensor addons, V3 cameras, Pan Camera, Robot Vaccuums. I basically needed to have a different WiFi network for all these devices. I purchased 4 Wyze Smart Plugs. They all setup easily and worked fine out of the box. Paired with the app and Alexa integration works. They operated as advertised. I was careful to make sure that I am not using them to connect any high wattage devices. Why the 1 star? These smart plugs lose their configuration regularly and randomly. All 4 smart plus have lost their configuration randomly over the last couple of months. Each time this happens and the most inopportune time (and you only know when something has failed to trigger or you may notice this on the Wyze app that the device is disconnected), you need to basically remove the device and do the setup thing all over again. 4 devices / 10 re-setups in less than 3 months. Pretty much makes these unusable. Coincidentally, I also have 6 Eufy and 4 TP-Link smart plugs on the same network connected during this time. The Eufy smart plugs were setup I think 3 years ago, the TP-Link ones over 2.5 years ago. Never had to do anything for those after initial setup. The Wyze smart plugs were kept updated (firmware wise) and had less electrical load than the other brands. I couldnt recommend these Wyze smart plugs given their finicky / random loss of configuration. Technically they work when the hold their configuration, but what if I installed these to control devices that were inconvenient to get to? What if I actually needed them to actually work over a long period of time?

If youre looking for a smart plug this one is a great option. Great price and lots of integrations. Just plug it in, open the app, add the plug, and never worry about it again. I have mine added to Google Home and also added to my Samsung phones device control panel. Ive also hooked it up to my StreamDeck using IFTT (free tier). Easy to turn on and off from my phone, smart speaker, and desk. Awesome!

Works great, I can control them from anywhere with alexa

The hardware functions fine. The app is garbage. Even with a good signal the software is unreliable. I have this controlling a light bar. Most of the time it operates correctly, but sometimes I will tap it to turn off in the app and it shows that it did, but the light is still on. The only fix is to unplug everything and force stop the app in app settings and plug it all in again. It does this often enough to be a problem. Their camera is even worse. Dont use wyze, there are better companies out there.

Love WYZE cams but these plugs have issues. I’ve had trouble re- synchronizing them. Not sure why they fail or lose connection . I’ve bought 2 2pks and only two are working today. I’m 900 miles away so very frustrating.

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.

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

I love these smart plugs to control my lamps and other electric items in my house, inside and outside.

I could not update firmware and once the device was listed on the Wyze app it didnt work. Even after adding to the google home app it didnt do anything. The device did show in the wyze app (without an ip address) and did show on google home but neither app would control anything. I did find the issue and it was my wifi security setup. Solution: Thought Id let you know that if you use access control on your router like I do that you have to add the device to the network first then restart the device before trying to pair. Problem: I allowed the device (2 of them) on my network when I got to the network signin step on the Wyze app add a device and it never added the ip address to the wyze app (so no firmware update) though the device did show on my network. Hopefully this will help anyone else who uses access control on their wifi router.

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.
