SwitchBot Smart Plug Mini 15A, Energy Monitor, Smart Home WiFi(2.4GHz) & Bluetooth Outlet Compatible with Alexa & Google Home, APP Remote Control & Timer Function for Home Automation, No Hub Required

Forget the stories of it being intrusive. It simply doesnt work and the company simply doesnt care. Two days of kids running the TV and the device shows ZERO power usage! I would say this goes beyond inaccurate. So I write to customer service their FAQ states. Two days later, I get an answer that they will pass it along to the tech team for further assistance. How many days will that be? I can answer for me... none. Its being boxed up now for return. ***Update. They wrote back finally a few days after offering to send a replacement for free. It took weeks but I got it and so far, this one works actually. I will follow up and raise it more if it is working after a week or two. They made me wait, so they can too.

I love home automation, but one item that has bugged me is being able to create events based on power consumption. Switchbot was the only smart device that actually worked! I had an amplifier for my home entertainment system that I only want turned on when the TV was turned on and automatically turn off when the tv turns off. I hooked the tv to 1 outlet and setup a scene to monitor when that outlet uses >50 watts, and to turn on the amps switch. Also turn off the amps switch when watts < 50watts. Works like a charm.

This plug is completely unreliable. Some days it works, other days it does not. Buy from a different company. I’m totally disappointed. I bought 3 of these and they are all inconsistent. Trash product, waste of money.

These work exactly as intended, and the app is very easy to use, with one notable exception. Theres no timer condition in th scenes tab. You can set different devices to turn on and off following a schedule, but theres no way to tell a device to turn off after X amount of inactivity time.

I got these to turn on a light in my bedroom at a certain time because I work overnights and my room is dark (I use blackout curtains) when I need to wake up. It definitely helps!! I already had the app because I have the automatic curtain open/closers from the same brand. I already knew how to set it up bc of that but the app is super user friendly for anyone using it for the first time!

If you want to move this plug around and look at the energy data, you wont be able to reset it each time. It appears to only show cumulative energy data.

The Good: This is indeed a smart outlet plug that connects to an app on your phone allowing you to control your outlet power remotely. It’s a white box that plugs into a 3-prong outlet and lets you plug in (1) 3-prong power cord into it. It has a button on the side that you can use to connect its Bluetooth and as a manual ON/OFF switch. The size and shape does not block the other outlet socket. The Bad: The app certainly looks like an app, it feels like an app, and even smells like an app. But it is the furthest thing from a good app. It’s just terrible, and kind of has a resemblance to the Hue Philips app. They clearly took inspiration. When you open the app you have to create an account. And I’ll tell you right now, you better remember your password or your account is gone. I forgot my password, so I tried to reset it but was informed my email didn’t exist. I tried to make a new account with the same email and was informed I already had an account. And I always thought I was indecisive. If you forget your password, the app forgets you made an account. If you try to make a new account, then the app remembers you made an account, until you try to reset your password. When you add a device to the app list then close the app and reopen it, the app will forget you added a device; it might even sign you out. I eventually got my device to fully connect, and once that finally happened it was smooth sailing. I was able to setup some automatic timer schedules, and I’ve been using it daily without issues. In conclusion, the device works great. The app sucks and has a high potential of giving you a hard time. If, and it’s certainly possible, you get your device fully connected you’ll have exactly what you were looking for.

I was looking for an smart plug that had 3 features: Alexa integration, power monitoring and export to excel capabilities, only switchbot meet all my requirements plus also other integrations like IFTTT , so far has been an amazing smart plug. 100% recommended

The first thing that I noticed about this was the maker...it was interesting for me to see Monster throw their proverbial hat in the smart home ring but I think its great. The second thing I noticed was the MSRP but it was actually very reasonable. I remember a few years ago anything like this would be triple or more. In addition to this being Smart, it tracks energy usage. I am not sure how accurate it is (and I dont have a device at the moment to confirm it), but the math seems to make sense and add up. This was simple to install, it has been pretty easy to integrate with my existing system. I like the simplicity, the features, and the value. Pros: Easy to install Great value Tracks energy usage Works well Cons: I wish it took up a bit less space because it is sometimes more difficult to maneuver around it

Works great app is very easy to navigate no complaints I recommend
