Wifi Smart Plug Set of 2 Mini Smart Outlet Compatible with Alexa Remote Control By Smart Phone from Anywhere Anytime (2 Packs)

The device does need the application downloaded to your phone to operate, but was easy to use and I was able to connect the devices to my Alexa with very little problem. The most difficulty I found with setup was having to try connecting to my home network. Both devices took two attempts, but were quite stable once connected and responded to voice commands with no problem. They are primarily a switch and have to variability, such as a dimming capability, but work great for automatic switching of a lamp on or off etc.

Got two before. It’s good and easy to install. Then change another brand. Returned. Not working. Finally, got two more of this timer. I use it for my living room light timer and aquarium uv light timer.

It took me forever to figure this out. You must use the same email for Smart Life and Amazon or it will not discover the device.

Original: Seems to be working in its own app, and as a group under the Wink skill. I will bump up to five stars if it keeps working. Note that this is not a dimmer. It is relay controlled, and it makes quite a loud click when it turns off and on. Nothing too bad, but just know you wont be able to control your light brightness with this. Update: Lights are kicking off and back on every so many minutes. It lasts about 1/2 second. You can tell by the light flicker, and the loud clicking of the relay. Down one star to 3. I will return. Update 12/28: I have learned to live with these plugs. The light turning off and back on had something to do with the apps timer function. Both now work reliably. My only complaint is they do not dim (yes, I knew they did not dim when I purchased them, but its still a negative), and that they are quite loud when they switch. Update 4/11/18: Inadvertent off/on problem returned. It just flashes off for a second every 10-15 minutes, and you can hear the relay click from the next room. Do not recommend this product. There are far better and less expensive options out there.

I thought these would be great to put on light switches, no more coming home to dark house and when matched with Echo dot I can turn on lights if they are out by just telling Alexa when I walk downstairs or in the front door. Not to mention having them on making (hopefully) people think someone is at home. Unfortunately the one keeps turning off whenever it decides to and sometimes have to tell Alexa to turn it on more than once before it comes on. I provided feedback thru the app hoping for either a hardware update or a well replace it but I have heard nothing. I have 2 and so far I havent noticed a problem with the other one but it isnt used as much.

Easy to setup. Integrated with my Alexa show. Great addition to my smart home!

Cant get enough of these, the ability to turn stuff on/off with your voice using Alexa, is just cool. Mostly controlling the power of something, means I can hook up all the lights in the house that need a power outlet to work with a wifi outlet and walk in to the house and just say, Alexa, lights on, and BOOM, theyre on. Very geeky & modern coolness.

Just watch you tube videos to install. I just plugged in my Christmas lights and connected it to my google home hub. Now I can tell my hub when to turn on and off my Christmas lights.

I love these things!! I mean.. it only took me 20 hours to figure out how to install, but work great! Im having fun with them! Just a hassle that if you change the name of the outlet later on down the road, you have to discover new device on alexa. Also, hate that you have to download the app, especially if I buy different devices from a different company, Ill end up having 20 different light apps on my phone!
