Geeni Switch Duo Double Smart Plug, White, 2 Outlets – No Hub Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, Requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi

I 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.

I 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!

This 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.

It 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.

Not sure what’s wrong as all their other outlets work great. This one kept disconnecting every 3rd day.

I have several different smart plugs, and they work with varying degrees of reliability. In fact, I got these because the ones I had just werent working and I didnt have the time or patience to troubleshoot them. These were also attractive because they offer two outlets, whereas my others hog a wall outlet and provide only one power outlet. The nitty gritty: Connection: This one was pretty easy to set up. I had to try twice, but by bringing the plug into my study, close to me router, it connected right away. I then moved it to another room and it works fine. Your wi-fi range will vary depending on signal strength and placement. App: The Geeni app is straightforward, allowing you to turn on or off the two outlets independently, set up timers and schedules, etc. TIP: The registration involves sending you a code number by email. Mine went directly into the Trash folder, so if you dont get it, check Trash, Junk and Spam folders. Operation: The manual on/off control in the Geeni app is via a pair of giant round on-screen buttons. When the selected outlet is tapped on, the on-screen button is white; when off its black. You can also control the outlet from Alexa or your Google Assistant if you use that stuff. Bottom Line: I like to be able to control the lights in my house when Im gone, for security reasons. Its also nice to be able to turn on lights before even entering your home, and smart devices like this permit you to do that. As long as your device has a wi-fi signal, you can control it from anywhere in the world. This device is simple and it works. Thats really all that needs to be said about it. And that makes it a 5-star product for me.

I already have other geeni products and the apps so adding the product was easy, the app was able to detect the new plug and guide me theough the set up. So far they are working out well for the price. I use the timer and schedule features to turn on/off the lamps. Im hoping this product will work out better than their power strips (i bought 3 power strips in the past and 2 failed in less than a year). The customer service experience was atrocious... otherwise, ibhave no complaints about this product as long as it continues to perform properly...

Easy to install, easy to connect to Wifi, Easy to schedule.

This outlet works pretty good. Other geeni products purchased not so much.

Product features are fantastic with Alexa. Very easy to set up and use. The timer function is also nice so you can set up lights to turn off/on at specific times. Great for when away from the home.
