Amazon Smart Plug, for home automation, Works with Alexa - A Certified for Humans Device

I have no complaints. Its reliable and works well.

I bought my mom a smart plug and used it for her lamps ..she is elderly and she loves telling alexa to turn on her lights.she spent a couple nights at my house and I didnt have my lamps smart..and she ended up falling..it wasnt good.so I had to get a smart plug and do the same for safety reasons.

Works just like it should, maintains its connection, easily programmed, just wish it had a slightly less wide body

I had a few WeMo smart plugs before ordering these. First of all, I HATED the app because adding a plug was so cumbersome. Plus, one of the plugs never did show up on the app so I couldnt really control it. It was in a room upstairs and I thought it must have been out of range of my WiFi router. I do not have a WiFi extender and almost bought one due to this issue. Had to send those plugs back. I was excited to see Amazon was coming out with their own smart plugs and pre-ordered them right away. Controlling everything through one app is way preferable. As a huge bonus, my upstairs plug that I previously could not control with the WeMo plug and app now works flawlessly with the Amazon plug and Alexa app. I guess it wasnt out of range after all. Pros: 1. if youre already tied into the Amazon Alexa ecosystem this just makes sense, and you keep things under control with a single app. And easily controlled with your Echo device if you wish. 2. Really easy to add a plug via the Alexa app. Alexa will recognize it right away and you just scan the back of the plug to add it. 3. Shorter and less bulky than the WeMo plug. 4. Smart plugs that may have been non-responsive on my network before are working flawlessly now with the Amazon plug in use instead. Cons: 1. A bit pricey. I wish they offered multi-packs for a lower price per unit. This will probably happen later. 2. Adding a plug to operate on an on/off schedule was NOT as easy as with WeMo. It took too many steps, was not straightforward, and should be more streamlined. Basically, youre creating what they call a routine. You have to add a start time. Then go back and do it all over again to add an end time. So I had to create two routines to get my coffee maker to start on weekdays at 6:45am and turn off on weekdays at 7:45am. That was silly. I did eventually figure it out, but they should really work on making it involve less steps and be more intuitive. I will buy more but will wait until the price comes down or theyre on sale.

I recently purchased the Amazon Smart Plug to automate my older, non-IoT coffee maker, and it has made my mornings so much more enjoyable. As a Certified for Humans Device, the smart plug is remarkably user-friendly, offering seamless integration with Alexa. Setting up the smart plug was a breeze using the intuitive Amazon Alexa app. I easily created a schedule, and now, like clockwork, the plug turns on my coffee maker every morning. By the time I get out of bed at 6 am, Im greeted with freshly brewed, piping hot coffee, eliminating any waiting time. The compact design of the Amazon Smart Plug ensures it doesnt obstruct adjacent outlets, making it a practical choice for any home. Its sturdy construction also instills confidence in its durability, even with daily use. In conclusion, the Amazon Smart Plug has transformed my morning routine, providing a hassle-free, automated coffee-making experience. If youre seeking a simple yet effective solution for home automation, I highly recommend the Amazon Smart Plug.

Great choice especially when my lamp had a difficult-to-twist switch. I leave it in the ON position and just tell Alexa to Turn On the light and voila! Good power button also at the plug itself!

Works well and quickly

Use it to turn lighting on and off. Works great, will purchase more!

so ez even 77 yr old can hook up(I am and I did)also makes much easier to use

Suffered for years with various Wemo devices and after a Wemo rep finally told me that their old assets wouldnt work with the Apple Home app and that new assets wouldnt work with the Wemo app, we finally decided to recycle the 40 or so Wemo devices we had amassed and switched to all Amazon smart plugs. Setup per device and response time from app and via Alexa was 10x easier and faster than Wemo. Very happy with purchase!
