TOPGREENER Smart Mini Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring, Mini Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, TGWF115PQM, 4-Pack

These switches will only work on Wifi on the 2.4 ghz band of your router. Thats ONLY IF your phone is connected to the same band. My Actiontec 3000a says it has both a 2.4 ghz radio and a 5 ghz one BUT when my phone (pixel 3XL) logs on to the 2.4 Actiontec lets it go right back up to 5 gig. No connection, no way. No help from the app, though lord knows I tried every step a thousand times. Also, the internet was no help. But I pored over the settings and found a way to turn off the 5 GHz, and wala, problem solved.

I bought a few of these and found they all got the job done at a basic level. The included software looks like the differentiating feature. I particularly liked that the TG model (bottom of the three shown) provides historical stats on usage, something that isnt featured on all such gadgets (Im looking at you Kasa Smart Home). On the other hand, this was about 2x the price of the no-name alternatives.

The setup was very easy. The timer seems to work well. There was one time I had to go back to app and reset timer. Being very picky-Reason for one star deduction is the size is a little big and wish the plug in for a lamp/etc was on the edge. That causes an issue of sticking farther out in the way on a wall. If they continue working, I will buy another pack.

I ordered this because I wanted to find out how much electricity my pop machine was using, as Im sitting on my couch realizing I dont want to go all the way downstairs to reset my modem because its kind of hard to get to, and the same thing with my TV shoved in the corner, I ordered a couple more. if there is something that you have to power cycle on a fairly regular basis these things are the bees knees!

I have other top greener products and these were simple and easy to install and use. Alexa integration rating is low only because I don’t use it.

Product works great. The default is to make device fail safe and turn device off in case of power outage. This was a huge issue for me but enabled automation in the app so that when it sees the off condition on the switch for the device it powers it on again. Can’t manually switch off the device anymore but who cares.

At a time when several vendors of smart plugs and switches are locking down their firmware, TopGreener still allows reflashing with Tasmota which made it easy to integrate into my Home Assistant system. The tasmota template is the same as their TGWF115APM and I have submitted it for inclusion. The size and shape allows two of them to be plugged into the same outlet. Im not going to use it with Alexa so I couldnt comment on that feature and I dont know why Amazon is asking me to rate the warmth of the product :-)

Ive owned these for about a year now and theyve been great. Its not the most advanced meter in the world, but the price was right. I did have trouble resetting it. I had to switch the app pairing mode to AP, then press and hold the button for 5 seconds, release (LED should flash rapidly). Then, press and hold for another 5 seconds which will put it in AP mode, the LED should flash slowly. At this point you can connect your phones Wi-Fi to the plug and finish adding it in the app.

I was looking to replace some cheapy analog dial timers that eventually will wear out/lose time. Im not controlling anything heavy duty right now. I have no Alexa or similar device (nor do I want one) so I downloaded the Topgreener app to my cell. It was easy to install & works flawlessly so far. The units were easy to activate & program. One unit controls an LED window candle with negligible power draw. Another controls an old-style electric blanket (on-off, temp control with no auto-off) so things are toasty come bedtime. A third controls a manual slow cooker so if the cooking time is shorter than the time Im away, I can either turn the unit off or start it later. They seem to have the ability to ride out at least a short-term power outage. I shut the circuit off that had the night light in order to install an AFCI in the lead receptacle position. After about 15 minutes I turned the power back on & later that evening the light came on as programmed & has functioned correctly ever since. A nice feature is the Statistics where you can check the receptacle voltage, current draw, & kWh consumption. Im pretty impressed with the units & the app. Ive purchased two sets & will not hesitate to purchase more should the need arise.

Set up: could not for the life of me get these set up with an Android device. Tried my phone and tablet, but while I could get them on the network with both, they just wouldnt detect beyond that. I had to borrow my daughters iPhone to get them into our account. That worked like a champ. Once paired, the Android devices work fine. Usage: Seems flawless. Easily paired with Alexa, can turn the plugs on and off with the app, or by calling out for Alexa to do it. power usage, what I bought this for primarily, is pretty cool Keeps track over time in a handy graph. Exactly what I needed.
