Wyze Plug, 2.4GHz WiFi Smart Plug, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, No Hub Required, Four-Pack, White

Life is so much easier when all you need to do is say Alexa turn on floor lamp or turn off floor lamp,especially when youre disabled... I have more coming to make my home more Alexa friendly & easier for me...

These are great. They allowed me to turn my remote control lamps into smart lamps I can turn on and off with my voice or the wyze app. And it works from wherever I am, even if Im not at home. Also they are easily portable and reusable for other devices! Straight forward and easy setup!

The Amazon Alexa designation of Certified for Humans (CfH) is very important -- but this item does NOT meet the CfH standard and the CfH designation should be removed from the product description! CfH is great for two reasons: -- electric items that truly have this designation are (very) easy to add-on to Alexa via a 3-step process with no requirement to add a new app. But, perhaps more important, the architecture of CfH is simple, making for better performance and easier maintenance. If your intent is to use an item with Alexa, get a smart plug with CfH. With CfH the smart plug talks directly to the Alexa Echo. Without CfH an item must be registered to its own app -- in this case you have to install the Wyse App, create an account, install and test the plug with Wyse, and then bind the Wyse smart plug to your Alexa account. Later, when you use Alexa to Turn on the Plug -- the command must go to Alexa, then to the Wyse Cloud, then back to Alexa, and (finally) the command is sent to your plug. Not only does this add a delay to the execution of the command, but it also creates dependencies, and opportunities for failures. And, in the future, if you move or get a new modem or router, it will be much harder to re-configure a non-CfH smart Plug.

Some of these are connected to devices so I can have small space heaters turn on/off by a schedule.. and others just give me a way to restart a device that maybe 60 miles away. Also had one on my coffee pot, so it would automatically turn off if I forgot, by gps location in Alexa.. Good way to make non smart devices better on the electric bill, or give you some peace of mind that you may have forgot t whatever small appliances on.. I can always double check from the app if that silly coffee mark was left on or not.

I bought these smart plugs to replace the timers I had connected to some small decorative lights in several rooms of the house. While the timers did their job, it was a pain in the neck to have to reset them as sunset changed with the seasons. With these smart plugs, I can simply set a schedule to turn them on at sunset, then off at a particular time. You can also set a Rule with additional options if you like. In addition, you can turn them on or off with a click on your phone if desired. So far, very happy with them.

The wise plug works well. Turns an item on and off. It could benefit from a dimmer function that allows us to turn an attached light up or down in brightness. We had this capability on our X-10 plug devices 25 to 30 years ago.

This is my 3rd set of outlets and they work like they’re supposed to. If you’re looking for an inexpensive smart plug, these aren’t a bad choice. They can work with Home Assistant if you want to do a little extra leg work installing JoshuaMulliken’s integration.

First off, I must say that I really, REALLY wanted to love Wyze and its products given that theyre a young, American start up company and sell their products at reasonable prices. Alas, theyre just not ready for prime time yet: -- I ordered 4 of these plugs and even though Im highly skilled in tech, it took hours of attempts, interactions with Wyze Wizards tech helpers and even after all of that, only two of the 4 plugs worked. -- Sadly, Wyzes tech help/customer service is extremely poor. Their Chat is not live, its all AI bot driven. If that cant help answer your question, you have a choice to either call or email. I gave up holding on the phone, the first time after 22 minutes and the second time after 37 minutes, and opted to email instead. It takes literally DAYS for the Wizards to email you back, only to discover that the Wizard either didnt read my question or didnt understand it, so I had to repeat it, going back and forth several times before getting a more qualified Wizard. All this for a product that literally takes 5 minutes to install when using other brands. Im very disappointed.

It seems like every other day I have to go in and re-add one of these plugs to the app/network because it says its not available. Its not difficult to do, but if multiple go out at once, its difficult to see which one youre reconnecting to unless youre watching the flashing light patterns on each of them while going through the setup. Its just annoying to have to do this on a regular basis. When they do drop off, they still retain their schedule, so your lights will still turn on and off per the set schedule, but you lose the ability to manually turn them on/off with the app or with a connected assistant (google and alexa). Then, once you reconnect to them, if you dont do it the right way you lose the schedule for that plug and have to re-program that to get it to turn on/off automatically. Theyre easy to setup, configure, and manual button works fine if you can reach where these are plugged in. Firmware needed to fix the stability and reconnection on its own. My KASA plugs seem to not have this issue, whats so different in these?

I was excited to upgrade my Christmas decor in my living room by using the plugs so now I just have to say Alexa, turn on Christmas or Alexa, turn off Christmas and my Christmas tree and electric fireplace both turn on or off. Its nice when youre running out of the house.
