KMC Smart Plug Duo, 2-Outlet Wi-Fi Smart Plug, 2-Pack, Multi Plug Adapter, Independently Controlled Smart Outlets, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant, No Hub Required

Do you use KMC app or Smart Life app? Online says KMC and the instructions say Smart Life. Either way, you have to download yet another app before you can use this. Since it says it works with Alexa or Google Assistant, I thought it would be just a plug it in and talk to Alexa. Goes to show you Im not as tech savvy as I hoped I was. I would use the KMC app as that is the manufacturer of the plug. Then you have to decide which device you want the plug to use. Since all our lamps are 3-way, I cant see the plug knowing how to use 1, 2 or 3 settings. Since there are no other devices I can see that would need voice control in our home, I dont plan on using this plug. It will be a good Christmas present for my youngest son who is much more tech savvy than I.

First of all I like the package. Each receptacle is independent so you can control two different devices and at different times. Thats pretty unique. Once setup it works great with no problems and the app couldnt be simpler. There is a different button for each side of the receptacle. Now notice I wrote once set up that is my issue. I tried for a good hour trying to get the app to pair with the Duo plug. I tried everything: plugging and unplugging, manual scan, auto scan, pressing and holding each power button (the led was already flashing) - nothing worked. The app would not discover the device and timed out after two minutes. Finally I unplugged the Duo and restarted my Pixel 3 smart phone. Once the phone booted up I plugged in the Duo and the app found it instantly. Since Im using an android google pixel 3 I dont know if this is an android issue or a KMC issue but Ill give them the benefit of the doubt.
