Geeni Surge 6-Outlet Smart Extension Cord, Surge Protector and Cord Extender, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Requires 2.4 GHz WiFi, 3 Feet

I have had this for quite some time now. When it works it is easy to use and works great. I have this installed to control the lighting on my aquarium. Every few months it decides it does not need my schedule. The lights turn on in the morning one day and never shut off. I delete the schedule and install a new one and still will not follow it. I can turn the lights on and off from the app. So it is not a case where the wifi isnt working. Factory reset time. Well this is annoying, but should be easy, right? No. I tell it factory reset, all lights shut off. I lay on the floor and hold the button down and it blinks quickly, I tell the app to search. At exactly 6% or 10% depending on the mood the light stops blinking. The app sits there going up 1% at a time slowly and painfully while I sit there looking at it like a moron because I know that if it doesnt pick it up by 10% it is not going to. Why does a device that can perform millions of calculations per second need 2 minutes to determine that this thing is not there when I can tell just by looking at the light shutting off on the power strip that 5 seconds in it is not connecting. I have several smart devices and they either instantly connect or dont at all. The 2 minutes % timer is such a waste of time and adder of stress and frustration when you know it has failed.

Works great sometimes and not so great other times. I use Alexa with this plug and sometimes it turns the stuff on when I tell it to, other times I have to repeat myself several times to get results. But worth the money, do have 4 different items connected to it.

The app lets you choose what to name each outlet so they can be controlled separately and each can have their own schedule assigned. I also have it linked with my google assistant, so now I can control all the lamps in my house completely hands-free.

Under cabinet kitchen lighting. Maybe not what you thought when you looked up this item. I needed to install two runs of under cabinet lighting to make wifey happy. Problem is, I’m not an electrician, I get power drill happy, and I hate extra wires. This solved everything. Between the two runs is my microwave and above the microwave is a cabinet with a single power outlet meant for the microwave. I put this puppy in the cabinet, ran the lighting power cables up through the cabinets and sideways into the cabinet above the microwave, plugged it all in and POW! Now my kitchen looks great and I can schedule exactly when the lights turn on and off, and all I needed was a cheap lighting kit, superglue, a big drill bit and this guy!

Used for my Christmas village instead of having to switch all the houses on, I can now ask Alexa to turn on The village and they all on. It’s also linked to my phone on app so super easy to control especially for those hard to reach outlets behind cabinets. Love this purchase

This item works well—when it works. After weeks of back and forth with tech support it was decided that a replacement item would be sent. That was over a month ago. Ive sent over a dozen emails asking a status on the replacement and they do not respond. Avoid this company!

update If you have no Internet you have no connection , and secludes will not work if you internet is out , Even if you turn the stuff on manually with no internet connection it will shut itself off , after losing almost all the Livestock in my tank I moved everything off of it but the lights , with the storm the other day and having no inter net none of the timers for the lights worked and like I stated with turning them on manually it still after like 5 or 10 min would shut them back off . Have to replace now and was a waste of 30 bucks. and Tech support is useless i after my first issue with it all they did was read off what was in the little setup paper. WiFi signal is very weak so cant be too far from a router but the worst thing with this and all the ones i have gotten I did not know this till after I got them If you are to have a power outage say from a storm or someone takes out a power pole this dose not go back to the last state that it was at when the power come back on it defaults to off no matter what not a bad thing if you have things off when this happens but if you have things on and the power goes out what was on will not come back on till then next timer on cycle for it

This is my 1st smart plug and its been a great but at this price. Set up took about two minutes and I can now romotely control six devices. Cost was less then 2 plugs from other brand. App is easy too use and is pretty customizable Update: 3/23/23, Less than a year after purchasing this item the wifi has stopped working. The geeni app & google home now just say this powerstrip is offline and all attempts to reconnect it manually or through the easy startup process have failed. It started working very briefly twice and then crashed again. So..no this is just a very expensive basic six plug powerstrip and Ill have to buy another one from a different brand to regain the functionality I had before. Disappointing.

It is very good and easy to use but doesnt support 5Ghz, I would like to get an upgrade after

Im a new home owner and I work 12 hour shifts. When I go to work, the house is dark, and Im using my phones light to search for the living room light; same for when I come home. Ive heard about hubs that turn on your lights with timers but I needed more than one plug. During my daily Amazon search, I found Geeni and the features I was looking for and its Alexa friendly! The setup is easy and the Alexa integration was simple. Ive tested out the timers and now when I wake up and head out to the living for work Im not stumbling around in the dark cause the lights are already on, same for when I come home from work. And Im not worried about forgetting to turn off the lights when Im ready for bed, whether I say good night Alexa or use the app or timer to shut off the lights it responds. Im very satisfied with the product and I highly recommend.
