CMARS Smart Plug, ZigBee Switch Mini Smart Outlet Works with ST, Alexa, Echo (4th gen) Echo Plus (2nd) Google Home, Works as a Range Extender, Hub Required （2 Pack）

It does not integrate with Samsung or GE hubs

My home is less than 2K sq ft, and most of my devices are Z-Wave. I know some people claim that these can be unstable on a Zigbee network, but they work great for me. I probably only have a dozen or two Zigbee devices though.

My whole house is quickly becoming automated with these smart devices, all centered around the SmartThings hub. I started by outfitting all of my light switches with ZWave specific devices. I have a number of other devices as well such as door sensors, locks, etc. I still had a few lamps around though that werent on switches, so I got these smart plugs to control those. These outlets and nice and small with a flat front. Perfect for hiding behind bookshelves. Its worth noting that these outlets use the Zigbee protocol as opposed to ZWave, but both are fully supported by SmartThings. I had no issue getting these to join my network. Simply plug it into the wall outlet, then in the SmartThings app, let it find any new devices. It came up almost instantly. If you are not a SmartThings user, supposedly you can just plug these in and have Alexa discover and control them. Ive not had a chance to try that. Once you add these to your hub, the possibilities are endless. Currently I have these lamps come on automatically at sunset each day. You could also automate turning these on when someone arrives home at night, etc. Great little devices. Not to mention the 12 months replacement/refund warranty on defective items. Would definitely purchase again when needed.

I am pleased with these. In short, they just work. These were nearly plug and play. Just set your Alexa or hub to discover, insert the plug in the receptacle, and its done. I used these for Christmas lighting and they were responsive, dependable and exactly what I needed. I will order again if more are needed.

I like zigbee products because it is a mesh network and it doesnt take up bandwidth from the wifi. As I build out my zigbee network it will become stronger and stronger. Soon my network will overtake my neighborhood and then the neighborhood coffeehouse. I will be the envy of this city.

I bought a bunch of different versions that claimed to work with Samsung Smartthings. They either didnt work or required an additional intermediary app. These ones however, worked perfect with Smartthings.

April 2021 - When I received the plugs, they were a different brand, and didnt work with SmartThings. Oddly, they came with a card that referenced to reach out to CMARS for support, but CMARS confirmed these were NOT their plugs. ---- May 2021 - CMARS offered to replace the fake plugs (branded Gosund) with the correct CMARS plugs, and apologized for the inconvenience (which was Amazons fault as the fulfiller, not CMARS). Well, the new plugs came, and they work a treat. Right out of the box, theyre as simple to set up with SmartThings as I could hope for. 30-seconds from out of the box, to controlling my lamp with ST. Definitely recommend buying from CMARS if you want good service.

Bought these as an alternative to Wifi plugs since I needed to relay my Zigbee around my house and Zigbee bulbs generally dont do that. Ever since I installed a few of these, I have no issues with my other Zigbee devices disconnecting.

I am using Home Assistant on my home sever, I used these to automate my reptile tanks. Install was of course easy, linking to Home Assistant was very easy and it picked them right up. I am purchasing 3 more packs of two for other tanks and some other things I want control over.

I bought a slew of these for some home automation tasks about 9 months ago, and they are starting to die off, one by one, a few days in between. They start to reset once every 10 minutes to a few hours, then they just go dead. Bummer.
