Aoycocr Alexa Smart Plugs - Mini Bluetooth WIFI Smart Socket Switch Works With Alexa Echo Google Home, Remote Control Smart Outlet with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL/FCC Listed 4 Pack

Easy set up, nice auto features. Simple but super useful gadgets.

The instructions do not clearly state what the steps are and in what order. The screen shots do not match what I see on my phone. Do you download the application first? You need to ensure you have Alexa, or Echo application on your phone along with the Smart Life application. Wanted to run it simply from my Alexa but that didnt seem to be possible without running through the Alexa Application. There is discussion about Quick Mode or AP mode configuration. No explanation of what AP mode is or why you might choose it. They suggest Quick Mode but dont explain why. My phone does not have a QR code reader. It appears that might be the easiest way however, I dont have that. You will need to remember your wifi network name (easy) and password. (Not as easy). Our devices all automatically log on to the home wifi network. We havent entered a password for 2 years. We have unfortunately forgotten the password. That means resetting it mid stream. Not fun. It doesnt tell you to plug in the smart plug before starting. Maybe obvious but it doesnt tell you that. Should you plug in the appliance with the plug? Tells you to rename your device, but doesnt show you screen shots for that. Smart Plug was not in the device list to choose from on the application. Instead it showed pictures of the same electrical plug with 3 options. What option should you choose? Been frustrating. I am not technically advanced, but I also am not completely inept. This product and the incomplete instructions have made me feel inept. Some may get this right away. But I havent, and I now have 4 plugs that are expensive and not really useful to me. I would pass to a different brand in hopes of better instructions. I chose because I wanted to run from my Alexa in the house. Dont want to run it from a phone app because what does everyone else do when I am not at the house? Should be run from the Alexa device. Not the Alexa app.

I had originally bought one plug and liked it so much I bought 12 more. Two months in 3 stopped working so the company replaced them no problem. Now I have one not working at all and haven’t heard back from customer support. Another keeps having a weak Wi-Fi signal. So when they work , they work great, but it seems like not for long.

Two of the four have died in three months. Unfortunately, the second just after the return window closed. Very disappointing.

Easy to get connected and running. Great for lights and small electronics, I have a tiny space heater in my basement I was hoping to hook up to it. After the first use the plug socket stopped working mid-use. Tried using the same plug socket with just lamp, tried resetting the plug socket. I think that the little space heater blew it out.

Bought these to control our Christmas lights. Tree outlet is behind the tree and a pain to get to. This was an easy solution to that problem. Also used the timer feature to control the outside lights and upstairs window lights. These worked great. Used the app to set timers and control them. Integration was super simple. Working great.

Out of four, three work perfect.

It works very well but I did find it a little bit hard to get it all up and running. I have to install manually. I have all the lights turning on together. I am still trying to see how I can run seperate routines and am confused as to whether this is a learning curve with Alexa or with Aoycocr Mini Bluetooth WIFI Smart Socket Switch. I stumbled into them working together but after Christmas I will need to find out how to break the lights up into separate uses. They do make life so much easier and work great taking up much less space than the old-fashioned timers.
