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

I love these plugs. I realize that sometimes an electronic device may not work correctly and anything will have a bad review from time to time, but these are legit. Be patient setting up and read first and they will connect just fine. The app is awesome and then enable alexa and your golden. I have many of these in my house and they are all on a schedule, plus the app will override whenever you want from anywhere, and then when you home just ask your device to turn on or off and it is pretty sweet. On a few of these I have plugged in more than one thing as well and still have no trouble.

Not compatible with 5 GHz, but works great on 2.4.

Edit 11/11/17: Downgraded to 3 stars after having used these for some time. I still like it, and think its still value for money considering the other products out there. The issue Im having is its glitchy. Sometimes goes offline for no reason, requiring me to unplug and replug. And the timer function is only about 80% reliable- sometimes plain does not turn on. Have not identified any trends, its a cr@pshoot- some day lights turn on and some days they done. And often unplugging and replugging rectifies it for a few weeks. The Alexa function and phone control seem to be reliable so long as plug is online- but I wouldnt trust the timer for vital systems. Original post: Frankly, Im blown away and one part of me is still waiting for something to fail but it hasnt yet. Cheap, small, simple device with quick set up. Just plug it in, download the app to phone, connect the two and youre good to go. The app allows for basic functions like timer etc; scenes that can be triggered by sunset/sunrise, humidity etc- but have not experimented with these functions yet. Once you assign a name for each plug, works seamlessly with Alexa. And for less than 30 bucks for two, seems like a bargain compared to the other branded ones. Instruction manual wasnt helpful, with the usual bad English, but its not hard to figure out. Bought a 2nd set.

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.

UPDATE: 10-27 Stopped working with Alexa. I had to factory reset delete the skill re enable the skill still wont work. Basically a POS. Really sad because at first I thought these were junk, then they worked (after some effort) now they stopped working with Alexa and I cannot get them to function properly. Crap, stay away from this product you get what you pay for. I had trouble getting one of the devices to connect to wifi even though they were both in the same place when I was setting them up. A second plug barely fits if it has a ground. Will update after usage.

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.

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!

They hooked up and worked great for about a month, but then they quit responding to Alexa, and then they went totally off-line. After fighting with them for about an hour, I got them both back online (one went immediately back off though). The one that is still online is not discoverable by Alexa anymore though, so I am stuck using my phone to turn it off and on. Sucks. Now I have the hassle of trying to return this junk through Amazon. Update: a half hour after the first one disconnected for the second time, the second one disconnected again as well. I got on YouTube and verified I was doing everything right. AVOID THESE PLUGS!

They work well. Love being able to tell Alexa to turn the lights on and off. The app allows one to control the lights from anywhere. Timers can also be set up. I will be buying more.

Makes turning lights and fans on and off more high tech. Can be difficult to establish connection. Make sure your not on 5G and it should work the first time. This is my second purchase of these gadgets. I’ll get more I’m sure.
