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

Got them working with my Android phone in less than five minutes. For each device you get to see milliamps, Power in watts, voltage and total kWh. By default the devices are switched off when the power is connected so a power outage will leave all of the devices off. Their technical support showed me how to set up an automation in the app so that if the device is switched off, the app turns it on. One other con: If you click on a device and select statistics, you only see the current month.

Purchased looking for monitoring plug that would still work with Tuya-convert. While only 10A, they do still work with Tasmota!

There are a few things I like about these plugs. I liked the power monitoring feature, although the app does not work correctly on my iPad. It did work on my android phone. I did not have any trouble pairing and adding the devices. However, there are two big issues that make these outlets a poor choice for me. First of all, they do not remember the state they were in prior to a power outage. If an outlet is on before there is a power outage, it should remember and return to an on state when the power returns. The same if it is off. These don’t. If the power goes out, when it comes back the outlets are off and will stay off until you turn them back on using either the app or the button on the outlet. This is a problem if you don’t realize there was a power outage and there is something plugged into it that really needs to stay on, like a mini fridge. That’s exactly what happened to me. I had my mini freezer plugged into this so I could track how much power it was using. At some point during the day the power blinked and the outlet shut off. The next day I went out to grab something and all the food in the freezer was thawed and I had to toss most of it. Not good. My Kasa outlets don’t do that, they come back on automatically when the power comes back, and they also will complete scheduled tasks whether or not the Internet is up. These outlets will not. I didn’t think that was a huge deal because I have my Kasa outlets for things that need scheduled tasks to function reliably. But honestly, why pay almost the same price for outlets that don’t have as good functionality? But anyway, having to check your outlets every few hours to make sure they’re still on when you live in an area where there are fairly frequent power blinks is totally a dealbreaker for me.

What I like most about these WiFi enabled smart electrical plugs is that it has all the features that the others have, plus what I really need is to be able to monitor your energy usage. Very helpful when trying to determine if an appliance is starting to go bad, when you see the energy use increases.

I purchased a two pack, one to do general energy monitoring on any appliance, and one dedicated to charging one of our cars over 110v. Conclusion: Easy to setup, works with Google and Amazon voice assistants, lots of features for the price making it a great value. I really like the hardware (5/5): + Supports 15 amps (allows for a buffer around my cars 12 amp charger) + Energy monitoring + Easy to setup and use. Plug it in, hold the only button for several seconds to put into pairing mode, short presses to turn the switch on and off. + Responsive integration into Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa - Does not remember power state. If you lose power, or unplug the device, the outlet will always default back to the off position. App is good, but could be even better (4/5): + No Subscription + Easy to integrate into Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa + Automation section allows On/Off based on a number of triggers (Sunrise/Sunset, Outside temperature, humidity, weather, another TOPGREENER device, etc.) + Has room management abilities, so I can turn off a whole room instead of just one device using voice assistants. - No random On/Off windows to mimic someone being home - Energy Monitoring only shows Instantaneous, Daily and Monthly totals. No hourly or weekly views. - No IFTTT integration yet (which opens up a lot more options) Notes: - Requires 2.4ghz Wifi - The size is big, and can cover both outlets if used on the bottom. But the product pictures should have given that away. I wouldnt subtract a star for buying exactly whats pictured.

I missed the return window by 3 days so I’m stuck with it. It does not give you live power consumption so that sucks. Sometimes updates every few min standing next to it, other times take 15-30 min or more. I’ll prob throw these in the garage sale bin and try another brand......

I live the topgreener switches outlets and smart WiFi large 15A plugs these are a lot more difficult to set schedules with unfortunately

I got these for energy monitoring some appliances. My biggest gripe is that they default to off after a power outage, you have to keep an eye on it if using one on a fridge.

There is no way to export the energy usage data from the app. This would be fine if the outlet group option could let you see the energy usage for all of them at once, but you can only see the energy usage chart of a single outlet at a time, as far as I can tell. Also, you cant really drill down into the data at all. You only really have 2 views of the data: current, and by day/month. You cant even select custom time ranges from what I can see. This is all really too bad, since the rest of the app is designed really well, specifically the automations.

I had attached this to an insta-hot water dispenser, first left the smart plug remain on 24/7 for a week to obtain a baseline of my hot water dispensers energy usage, then I set it on a schedule to eliminate 10 hrs out of the day, when I wouldnt be needing my HW dispenser and I saw a ±20% reduction in the energy use, so the energy tracking of this smart plug appears to be working fairly accurately. The insta-HW dispenser has a pretty high energy demand to heat/maintain the water to 180°F, so this smart plug is capable/rated for high wattage devices. Highly recommended!
