GHome Smart in-Wall Outlet, Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa Google Assistant, Energy Monitor, APP Control, FCC Certified, Surge Protection Tamper-Resistant Wall Receptacle, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only, 15A

I firstly tried this plug with the app recommended on the packaging: gosund app. Be aware that your phone / laptop will have to be connected to your WiFi in 2.4ghz, it wont work if you are connected in 5ghz. It could be a challenge for someone not tech savvy. I am anti-cloud... Having to use a specific app to trigger my outlet is not something I like, I want everything local. If your internet provider is down, or the Gosund server is down, or even worse, if Gosund goes bankruptcy, your cloud outlet is not going to be triggerable anymore... Thats why Im using Home assistant, its an open source software designed to be a central control system for smart home devices with a focus on local control and privacy. Other similar softwares are Domoticz, Jeedom, Hubitat.. So, here is the interesting thing: this outlet is actually a Tuya outlet, and it is easily flashable to another firmware. I personally love Tasmota. To flash it, youll need a Linux computer, and youll install tuya-convert. Youll find all the details on github. There is a good youtube video that will help you if you need: on youtube search for digiblur tuya convert. If like me you decide to go with Tasmota, youll have to configure it. Go to your console and type the following commands: template {NAME:Gosound Outlet,GPIO:[320,0,576,0,2656,2720,0,0,2624,321,225,224,0,4704],FLAG:0,BASE:18} rule1 on analog#a0<400 do power2 toggle break on analog#a0<800 do power1 toggle break endon rule1 1 module 0 After a reboot, your outlet is now cloud-free!!! And the very last thing to do will be the calibration of the power: on youtube digiblur gosund w01 and go to 16:55. Youre all set!

New review: Here’a an update on this. After writing this review, I found out that my daughter-in-law had tried to use a power washer to clean her car while the receptacle was also charging my car. The receptacle is rated for 15A, but I can’t imagine how much current was going through it while the power washer motor tried starting up. It’s no surprise that it was damaged. I also have to say that the company’s customer support was very quick after I posted my 1-star review. They contacted me right away and tried to resolve my problem,. Since this wasn’t a regular purchase, they could t refund or replace it, but it it was a regular Amazon purchase, it would have been resolved almost immediately. Frankly, I’d rather replace a $25 receptacle than have my home wiring overheat and become a fire hazard inside of my walls. I’ve since replaced it with the exact same model, and it’s been working perfectly. I’ve disabled the second outlet so that it can’t be overloaded again. I really love this receptacle, and the app control and energy monitoring are great. I have no problems recommending this gadget, but I would suggest that you don’t use it where multiple heavy-load devices can ce used simultaneously, like in a kitchen with an air fryer and a microwave plugged into it and they might get used at the same time. Keep your total usage under 15A, or 1,i00W. Old review: This receptacle worked well for a little under a month before it died. I installed it in my garage to power a Level 1 evse (12A) so I could track the energy usage. The receptacle is rated for 15A, so a 12A constant load should have been ok to use with it. This doesn’t seem to be the case. A couple of days ago, it simply stopped working. It wouldn’t power up, illuminate any of the LEDs, or connect to WiFi. I removed it from the wall and opened it up to see if I could identify the problem. The internal fuse had blown, so I replaced it and reinstalled it. It powered up and connected to WiFi, but when I plugged in my receptacle tester, it showed a ground fault. I decided that it wasn’t worth opening up again. This might be a good outlet for light duty, but I don’t think that it’s good enough for long-term heavy use. That was disappointing, since it was really great while it worked.

This is a nice dual smart plug. Both outlets can be individually controlled. This plug works with all voice assistants as well and can be integrated into Home Assistant using the Smart Home App. Good plug with individual control.

Arrives with everything you need to get the outlet installed in the wall. It is an in-wall device that fits in a standard single-gang wall outlet. Nice that it comes with screws and a face-plate that fits. Getting the outlet connected and configured is a bit of a hassle. Phone app is simple, download and install on your phone. Make sure you connect your phone to the same wifi youre connecting your outlet to. I had problems getting it connected to my 2.4GHz WiFi router. Once it did that it seems fairly straight forward and its nice each outlet can be controlled separately. I do wish I could control it with my phone locally without having to go through their server. Some things I dont need outside of the home control and dont want to broadcast usage of everything to whomever may be accessing their server data. Overall its a pretty nice device, easy to physically install, looks nice and works.

Helpful to have. Easy to install, just make sure to turn the power to the outlet off first. Took a minute to install with Alexa. Am very happy with this and that it is voice activated.

What a great plug with a very intuitive app. I wanted to add an outlet in my closet so I can power a Dyson and another Floor Washer vaccum & this seemed like the perfect fit, and it was ! Pulled power from an outlet in adjacent room and it powered right up, unlike most outlets, this one has the 3 wires coming out of it, instead of your plug ins or twisters around screw, you just join the wires and voila. App integration was seemless as well. I didn’t want these 2 machines to stay plugged in all the time so not to damage the batteries. With the app I can set it on a schedule or do a countdown. Connected to my Alexa Account quickly and you are able to control each plug separately by voice as well, excellent plug. Recommend.

Awesome product. Needed to DL the Gosund app to link it to my Alexa which was easy. After that I’ve never used the Gosund app. Each outlet can have its own command. Also located on the outlet has a manual power on and off for each plug. Product is good to go. Havent had any issues with connectivity so far.

This is a great product to use to turn devices/appliances into smart devices without the cost. I added this to a routine to turn off the power to the outlet at a certain time so my son isn’t up all night watching tv and it was so nice to be able to set it and forget it. Install was just as easy as a regular outlet installation and only took me about 5 minutes total.

The Wi-Fi Smart Wall Outlet has a complete installation kit and clean design. The wiring is easily connected with the included screw on caps. The faceplace snaps on after installation. The barcode for the required app is on the box and instruction manual which can operate alone or connect to your alexa device. Each outlet can be turned off or on manually with the buttons or wirelessly. I would prefer a installation option without the additional app registration requirements. Name your outlets whatever you want and control it with your alexa device. It flashes brightly when it is disconnected from the app.

I Love this outlet. It is my first smart outlet and now I want more after getting this one. It was easy to install and worked great after installing the app. It also works with Alexa which is great. I am super pleased with this product and will be ordering more!
