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

I used them for a lamp in my living room and a wall light in my bedroom. Very easy to use and works great so far. I connected them with Echo. Good thing is that you can name each plug whatever name you want. So I simply named them as “livingroom light” and “bedroom light”. Now when I come home I just tell Alexa to turn on the livingroom light for me. Never need to walk to the light switch in the dark anymore(yay!).

Works exactly as advertised. Easy to set up. Best price I can find at the moment for such devices. Great product to get you started in home automation. Integrates easily with Alexa. But...note if you want to do more advanced programming of the smart plug (eg. If a sensor triggers, then turn on this smart plug) i have yet to find a way to do so. You will need a hub (eg. SmartThings by Samsung) that will allow it to be integrated with other devices. But, for basic functions, no hub required. Note also, two of these devices will not fit on one wall receptacle...that might not be a big deal however.

These units are fine so long as you have uninterrupted power. But when the power goes off and on again, these units have to be manually reset. The problem seems to be that if the WiFi router isnt up and running when these units are powered on, they will simply hang until you manually reset them ... sort of defeats the purpose of a smart home when the devices are so idiotic.

The Works fine with my phone and easy to set up. I purchased two of these switches and both work great. The literature includes detailed information about connecting to Echo. But it does work on Google Home too. You have install the app, then go to Google Home app and under Home Control, look for Smart Life app. The rest is easy.

I bought these as a gift for a friend. When I tried to set them up, I found that his Spectrum-installed router had assigned the exact same name to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. for some reason, the band selected always defaults to the 5GHz. I was unable to find a way around the issue. I kept them, and they work perfectly on 2.4GHz at my home.

These work very well with my lamps. I would give them 5 stars but I thought the directions to link w/the Echo could be a little more clear; it wasnt too difficult though, just took a few minutes.

They frequently fall off my network and have to be manually reset. Can be challenging when plugged into outlet located behind furniture. Work great when they are connected. Not so fun when I have to go through and reprogram 8 outlets.

I love these!! The directions weren’t super helpful but I figured it out easily enough. Download the app for the plugs first then use your log in from that app to connect to Alexa. Super awesome to say, “Alexa turn on the lamp!” And she does! Haha

Works OK so far, but this device worries me from a security point of view. Cheap but scary. I disabled all the Android Smart Life apps permissions in Settings->Apps after configuring the device. Why did the app literally need every permission known to man on my Android phone to simply configure the device? What REALLY worries me is the amount of data the device moves to/from The Cloud---constantly. Is it eavesdropping on my local LAN traffic? Or, is it a Trojan Horse waiting for instructions from hackers lurking in the shadows in another country? Over the last 7 days the device downloaded 18 Mbytes and uploaded 135 MBytes of data (see photo)! More than a bit worrisome. The rate has slowed down to ~120 Kbyte/6 MBytes down/up per 24 hour period over the last few days, but what possibly can be going on? I dont want a rogue IOT device in my house participating in botnet shenanigans!

Not that hard to set up. Once you did, it work good. I love the fact that you can control it with your phone. Add another level of security to your home compare to the old style timer.
