Aoycocr Alexa Smart Plugs - Mini Bluetooth WIFI Smart Socket Switch Works With Alexa Echo Google Home, Remote Control Smart Outlet with Timer Function, No Hub Required, ETL/FCC Listed 4 Pack

After opening it I plugged it in where I wanted it (upstairs and quite a ways from my router) and the app found it right away. I tried twice to connect to it up there and failed. Then I thought it’s like most things, the closer to the router the easier to connect. Plugged it in 3 feet from my router and connected in 15 seconds. Changed the name in the app to describe what it controls and automatically was in the Alexa app. I did have to set up 2 routines so it would turn on and off the light I wanted at the time I wanted but that only took a couple of minutes. I guess what helped me is I already had the Smart Life app installed and had used it before with some candelabra bulbs I purchased a while back. I’ve had it for a couple of days now and so far no problem. For 10 bucks works as well as my true Amazon Plugs that I have bought in the past. I would and probably will buy again.

We purchased separately a echo show to communicate with our children. So, since we bounced back into the Amazon Alexa universe, we decided to plunge into all the device options. Previously we used smart home light controls with Lightify. These required the use of an injector hub (my words) to send the control signal over the internet to their server and back again. And the individual bulbs were controlled with signals over the house wiring, at least that was our vague understanding of the way it worked. These seemed to always break, lose the signal, or just not work right especially after a power grid brown out. Fast forward to todays technology which uses Wi-Fi directly to the device, again the way we understand it with limited technology smarts. WOW, gotta say, it works so much better. Instant on, instant off, no lag, no configuration reset after a power grid failure. SO, its our non tech savvy opinion that these work great. Seems a little difficult to setup with some of the other brands we purchased. But the Amazon brand setup was much simpler. If your going to do a smart home, go with this generation (gen 4) and buy enough to make the experience from room to room convenient. Otherwise why bother if the technology makes life more complicated...these make bedtime and wakeup much easier. Our advise, keep the device names simple, one word. Do your own custom name and group the devices together into rooms like living, master, for living room and master bedroom as an example. Above all enjoy the convenience, no more wall switch routines especially in the dark with Grandkids toys on the floor...ouch!

All set up 3 works great but one does not work the blue light will come on and it let me connect it to alexa but when blue light is on the power isnt passing through the plug to a lamp I have it plugged to I tried another plug on same lamp and it worked great then retried the faulty plug on 3 other lamps same problem so came to the conclusion that one of the 4 ifls faulty so deserves a 75% rating because 3/4s work great and 1/4 foesent work at all

I had originally bought one plug and liked it so much I bought 12 more. Two months in 3 stopped working so the company replaced them no problem. Now I have one not working at all and haven’t heard back from customer support. Another keeps having a weak Wi-Fi signal. So when they work , they work great, but it seems like not for long.

Great value for the money. It works 100% of the time, no issues whatsoever. It was very easy to set up, too. Now I can turn my big fan on (that is a regular fan with no remote, just has a little dial for high/medium/low) with my voice, using Alexa! Its great when I wake up and Im feeling hot or cold. I dont have to go over and manually turn the fan on/off. I just say, Alexa, turn the big fan on when Im hot or Alexa, turn the big fan off when Im cold, and roll back over and go back to sleep. Its also nice like when I get a phone call or something, I can turn the fan off so the person on the phone can hear me better, etc. But this plug will work with literally anything that can be left on and already be on when you plug it in. It wont work for something like a microwave where you have to manually turn it on, obviously. But yeah, works great and Ive literally never had a problem with it. Highly recommended!

This is my second Aoycocr WiFi plug. The first one gave me zero issues and I needed a second one so I choose to buy it again. I used one for my Christmas tree and the other for the outside Christmas lights. I choose evening and morning schedules plus names for them using the Smart Life app. I even installed the Smart Life app on the wifes phone so she could turn on the lights whenever she wanted. Everything worked flawlessly. I used this plug outside tucked under an eve for my Christmas lights. I worried moisture would be an issue but it was fine. Im already using the Smart Life app for WiFi lights throughout my house and the plugs fit right in with the line up. If you unplug it from the wall it goes offline until you plug it back in. Reconnect time is just a few seconds. I do have access to Alexa using my Fire Stick so I set that up as well. The grandkids had fun turning lights on/off with the remote. Great plug and simple to use.

I use three of these all the time. I wake up to lights in the morning to keep me from sleeping in, thanks to the Timer feature and I can turn them on or off with my iPhone or with the little power button on the side, so you dont need a Smartphone to make these things work, but its more fun if you do!

This will be the third time I buy these. I’m kind of hooked into the app and the routines and it has really been working and helping a lot. One of them died, but I’m glad it stopped in the off position. I do need another one in that spot so I’m going to purchase a few more. They are 99.9% reliable to stay online. The one that was dying first started to go off-line. I guess that would be a signal that one’s about to fail. Not everything lasts forever. I’ve been using these heavily for quite a few months.

Works as expected, easy to link after downloading app, used it on Xmas tree and it was set to auto shut off at 10 pm, worked perfect every night, But this product, you will like it

Good app. Easy to connect to Google Home. And plug works but short lifespan - shorts easily or something. Now just constantly clicks on and off. I have bought 6 in the last year. Two of them broke like this. Might drop the review another star if another breaks.
