WiOn 50050 Indoor WiFi Plug With 1 Grounded Outlet; White

I’m thrilled. This is exactly what I was looking for to manage the holiday lights, and some. Setup was so easy it basically set itself up. All devices are through a single app. Simple, seamless - the functionality is great.

I’ve used these for several years and they used to be great I’d give them 5 stars except the app doesn’t work with iOS 16, devices installed before iOS 16 will work but you cannot edit them or add additional devices. Woods WiOn has not announce a fix for this problem that I can find. If you don’t want to wait for the update or try KASA I have their light switches which work nice but not as versatile as the WiOn. ** WiOn now has the app working with iOS 16.

Over all this is a great idea. This is what I have been looking for about 2 years. If the app can be tweaked and improved a little it would be perfect.

Can’t beat wion products. After trying zwave and other products for 4 sets of low voltage lights in a large yard I found wion. WiFi is the reliable way to go if your home network is strong.

The factory rest button exists but is hidden by cover as a manufacturing defect. To switch internet carriers a rest is needed. Take off four back screws. Take off 3 board screws. Plug back in and then take of rubber reset guard. Hit both reset and on/off at same time. May take two to twenty five tries. The fast blue like becomes a less fast blue light and ready for programming. Drill a hole from back side using the guide of the cover. Reassemble... This works fine until this issue. I woudd not count on Woods for support as the EE in back office know the deal, while customer service has the lights turned off.

whenever there is a power failure or disconnection from main, the cloud connection will be lost and unable to control with Google Assistant, need to do set up again, that is reset the plug, connect with the plug wifi and set up. Could be 5 star if the plug can remain online with Google assistant after power failure and reconnect back, else it is quite frustrated to do set up each time if you need to move the plug to another outlet.

Ok, so you can buy 12 different outlets but its stupid to do so unless you want to set all 12 to go and off at the exact same time. Yup, I bought 3 assuming that I could program each one to turn off/on at different times. I want the fish tank light to go off at a different time than my tv (if I fall asleep and leave it on, as I normally do). Tremendous waste of money!

I had high hopes for this smart outlet. My home has been completely renovated as a smart home, so Ive tried just about all of these types of outlets on the market. This is one of the bulkiest hunks of junk Ive tried. This one at first took 3 days to pair with my Wifi router. I thoroughly consulted the poorly worded troubleshooting section of the manual. Keep in mind, Im a computer scientist. Most of the manual did not make sense (broken English, poor sentence structures). After I finally got this thing to work, a slew of other problems arose. The app would constantly freeze or crash (Yes, my iPhone is updated). Eventually, after a month the device completely stopped working. No lights, no pairing, nothing. I am now outside of my Amazon return window. Quite frankly, Im so frustrated with this thing, I wouldnt even waste my time driving it to the post office.

Shhhh... dont tell anyone about these until I buy all the ones I need. Works great with the WiOn app, can set it for various timings, including sunset/sunrise or random on and off while youre away from home. Flip the lights on anywhere you happen to be.
