> 24 hourCheap. Cheap cheap cheap. The price is luring, but stay away. Only 2 of the 4 sockets ever connected to Wi-Fi, and even with those it was a weak connection, was slow to respond off of an Alexa, and didn’t work remotely. The cherry on top was that the two working smart socket’s stopped connecting to Wi-Fi after I moved the outlet they were in. All of the sockets flash like they’re functioning, but no combination of plugging/unplugging/Turning the Wi-Fi on and off worked to reset the device or to connect the Wi-Fi. There’s also no website for the parent company readily available, even through this listing, and I’m almost positive that they use a 3rd party app to connect. You’re better off spending the money to get a nicer one, or at least one made by a well know company.

> 24 hourI like that there are four color coded plugs in the box. However, installation is not so easy. You have to load their third party app on your phone. Then you use that to connect to the plug. Then you have to go to the Alexa program and add home-linking smart as a skill. Once you do that you can tell your Echo to find new devices. In the dedicated app you can rename the plug, or you can do it in the Alexa app. However, I could not add the skill from my phone Alexa app. I had to do it on my computer. Also, there is a receptacle and a USB on the plug. You are supposed to be able to control them separately. I have not determined how to do that. I can control the receptacle but not the USB from Alexa. I can control each from their App. I have been playing with this for an hour. Not fun.

> 24 hourI use these to control lights and other appliances. They’re very easy to setup once you get the hand of it. Once you make your home “smart,” it’s so nice and convenient. I love how these have a usb slot in addition to the outlet.

> 24 hourI was hoping to enjoy these smart wifi outlets. But to receiving them and reading the instructions, they didnt and dont connect to my wifi because I have a 5G connection. They only work with 2.5.
