Sengled Smart Plug Works with Alexa, Amazon Smart Plug Bluetooth Mesh, Alexa Plug Smart Outlet Remote Control, 15A Smart Socket, 1800W, Timer & Schedule, FCC Certified, No Hub Required, 2-Pack

I bought these plugs because I wanted ones that didnt need its own app but would connect directly with Alexa. The first plug worked fine but Alexa does not recognize or discover the remaining three plugs. Troubleshooting suggests downloading the Sengled app. Well, thats exactly what I didnt want to do. So unless I can still return them, theyre going to the garbage.

I bought this November 30th, installed dec 3, and everything connected fine with my Alexa for a while, was able to create routines for Xmas lights through the app, etc. HOWEVER overnight, these have mysteriously disconnected and refuse to connect to any device or app- Alexa, sengled home, sengled bluetooth. I’ve tried every method of reset (and I’m tech literate) and nothing has worked. It’s not an Alexa issue because my echo is connecting to my phone Bluetooth just fine. Reading the low reviews here shows it’s actually a common problem.

Because these home automation devices require a cloud account to interact with them its like the manufacture shipped e-waste directly from the factory to my garbage can. And why wouldnt they demand that you create yet another account on yet another server under the guise of voluntary (its not) and the cloud (its not), even though the device(s) can run locally just fine without a cloud account on your local mobile device that knows what to do with Bluetooth? Why spend time and money engineering covert utilization data monitoring or back doors into your application or product only to be discovered by some pesky security researcher later. Better to just force the user to register the product in a cloud account somewhere so you can exfiltrate that user data the easy way using the cloud as a plausible excuse. 0 of 5 stars. WILL NOT recommend, and that is not to say CAN NOT or WOULD NOT or COULD NOT, but rather a long-considered, thought-out stance against lazy or sloppy programming or the outright desire to spy on users by forcing them into a cloud account in the application that controls these devices even though there is no demonstrable need for it. Save yourself the time and the money. Find something else that allows local control of your Bluetooth, Z-Wave, or Zigbee devices or something that will interoperate with Hubitat or other local command and control infrastructure.

Alexa only recognizes the plug as a switch. Deal breaker? No. But if its a plug and you want to control all the same devices, it does become messy.

Idk hard to set up

Bluetooth Plugs work great, very good Bluetooth distance strength. They probably connect great through Alexa but it is the Bluetooth mobile app that leaves much to be desired. It took about 45 minutes to finally get all 4 of them all connected using the Bluetooth app. Had to factory reset some of the plugs multiple times before the app would finally recognize them. The app in not intuitive.

Love but occasionally losses connection and have to unplug router and plug then plug back in to reset, grrr. Plug n’play otherwise!

Ive used several of these, mainly during Christmas to turn on outside lights and Christmas tree. I also had to replace another brands switch that went down. So far Ive been very pleased.

Excelente calidad y muy fácil de instalar con Alexa

Love it, especially when my arms are full when entering my room, and all I say is Alexa lights on!!
