> 24 hourI live in Souther Florida, which among other things means that we have a lot of lightning storms around here. I got tired of electronics being fried in my home so I installed whole house surge protection, as well as having plug-in surge suppressors at all my outlets supplying power to electronic devices. Despite these precautions, a very close strike can still damage devices, so high-priced items are best unplugged during a severe storm. One of my high-priced devices is a battery charger connected to my battery electric garden tractor. I keep that in my shed which is a fair distance from the house, so its not only a hassle to run out there during a storm to unplug it, but can be dangerous as well. So I thought of looking into getting a WiFi controlled plug-in switch to be able to remotely disconnect the power from the charger in the event of a bad storm, and saw this Geeni Smart Switch on Amazon and ordered it right away. One of the things that drew me to the Geeni is the fact that it handles a load of up to 15 amps, while most similar devices Ive seen go up to 10 amps. Since the charger draws 8 amps, I feel a lot better having the additional headroom of the Geenis 15 amp capacity! Additionally, I liked that it was a dual outlet device, so I can also plug in a vent fan that I have running in the shed and shut down both devices at the same time. What I didnt realize at the time I ordered it was that it not only has the two outlets, but both are switched independently of one another. Getting TWO WiFi switches for the price of one was a nice surprise! The only thing I wasnt sure about was if it would work properly with my router, since as I mentioned, the shed is a fair distance from the house and the WiFi signal has to travel through a steel-reinforced concrete wall to get to the shed. If I go out there with a phone I can just barely pick up the signal, so I wasnt sure how the Geeni would fare. As it turned out, the weak signal was no problem at all, and now I can easily turn the power off in the shed at a moments notice from any room in my house! The switch is very easy to set up also. Just download the Geeni app for Android or iOS, set up an account, and the app walks you through the setup process. Simple and quick. As it turns out, there are more Geeni products available than just Smart Switches - from lighting to security cameras to air purifiers to pet feeders. And they all work with the one Geeni app, and they are all very reasonably priced as well. Im really impressed by this product and would recommend it to anyone! Five stars PLUS!

> 24 hourWe have a number of smart plugs integrated into our home, but this was, by far, the easiest to install and activate. I love the fact that it is a dual plug...2 appliances became smarter with just one device. This smart plug works well with Alexa - there have been zero issues!! All good news here...you wont be sorry if you order this smart plug. Works like a charm. Recommend, for certain!!

> 24 hourI love my Geeni products and this is no different. I have yet to run into a Geeni or Merkury product that hasnt worked for our family and the app. We ordered this to separate 2 lights we have in the house. We have LED Xmas lights over our internal archway just because...well we love Xmas and are too lazy to take them down. The other is a homemade lamp with our names on it and when we moved into this house. Its really a nice night light. For the night light, we have a scheduled timer on it through the app and it turns on the light at 9PM and off at 6AM. What else can I say but it works. I have labeled the Xmas lights as the Archway Lights and I can use the app just to push the power button on those lights or I can say Hey Google, turn on Archway Lights and bam within a second or two, theyre on. As for manually turning on or off the device, there is a power button on the plug, but it will turn on and off both devices. Unless I am overlooking it, not sure if there is a way to turn only one on at a time. Also in the app where it lists all your devices, if you push the power button there, it will turn on both devices. To turn each one on individually, you need to tap on the device (not the power button), and when it loads, you will then see 2 power buttons you can individually name and set schedules and timers for. Our house now has 14 smart lights, 4 smart plugs (all different models), and 2 smart string lights (about to be a 3rd). I stand behind Geenis products and will keep doing so. Besides not sure if I can turn on the devices on individually through the manual button, I love this. Until they do me wrong, I will recommend every Geeni product I own from them. Next up will be cameras. See you all soon!

> 24 hourIt does not get any easier than this timer to set up and activate. The timer is built of sturdy materials and plugs into any three-prong outlet. The on line app downloaded quickly and easily and setting it up on my cell phone was a breeze. Setting dates and times for on and off is simple. I particularly like that each side can be operated separately. For vacation purposes, it is fantastic to be able to set multiple on and off times for lighting.

> 24 hourI love Geenis outlets and was excited to get these. Theyre easy to set up and connect to the app; you can set schedules and timers within the app itself. These are one of the best smart products out there!

> 24 hourI have thin device operating in conjunction with Geeni-compatible light bulbs to make the house more secure while Im traveling. Once you get the hang of the scheduling its quite easy to set up. Highly recommended.

> 24 hourGlad it offers an extra plug outlet. However, I had difficulty connecting it to Wi-Fi.

> 24 hourThis is not directly compatible with Alexa. A third party app is required. It requires an account and permissions which I refuse to grant to untrustworthy applications. Physically its on the large side for just 2 sockets. There is a button on the side which turns the switch on and off.
