iHome Flow Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring and Timer Function, Wireless Wi-Fi Outlet Socket with On/Off Button, No Hub Required, Compatible with Alexa, Echo, and Google Home, 2-Pack

These remote outlets are THE BOMB!! Easy to pair with their app and also allows you to monitor the outlet real time and gives you energy consumption for minutes, hours, days, months and cumulative for the year. Great Gadget, Great Tool!!

Bought two, both melted under medium load. They don’t work and it almost caught fire. Unsafe!!!

This smart plug is a great buy! I have 6 of them they are very user friendly and easy to set up. I can activate them from my phone app as well as Google home. I definitely recommend this product and would buy again!

If you need HomeKit from Apple, go elsewhere

These iHome Flow Smart Plugs work well and have some really nice functionality. But they do not use the iHome App but instead a new App. Ideally I want my smart plugs to be consistent and all on the same app. Nice option with good functionality if you are App Flexible.

I purchased these plugs so I could control lights and a heat for my little green house this winter remotely while I am away on trips. Works great. Plants are happy.

Super super super easy to set up and works flawlessly.

The outlet began to malfunction after 4 months. It was ON whether you turned it on or off. Not reliable and a bad situation when you need it off!! DO NOT PURCHASE

I get a little tired of using different apps for different smart devices, so the ones that integrate with Alexa are SO much better! The Geeni app is ok, it works great, but I dislike having half a dozen apps for different brands, so try to just control all devices through Alexa and this works great that way. Easy setup and management.

We have a few rooms in our old house that isnt heated well with the home central heater so we are forced to keep an old school oil-filled electric heater to keep that room heated during the winter. The problem is that we have often forgotten to turn it off when its not being used. Thats where this smart switch is ideal. Not just because I can control the switch, but I can also monitor its energy usage. Im not a big fan of all the different apps that every different manufacturer uses, but with the added functionality of the energy monitor, I was willing to install and use an additional app. For day to day operation, it works great with Alexa and I really only use the Greeni app to track the energy usage. The app gives you real time info for the devices energy consumption for current (mAmps), Power (watts), voltage, and total (KWh). In addition to that, it also breaks it down into power usage daily and monthly. I think this can be very useful for knowing where all your your energy dollars are going. That is the differentiating factor with this smart switch, the energy monitoring feature. While its not necessary for all appliances, I do like having it especially for heaters, fans and even air purifiers. Keep in mind this doesnt work so well for newer devices that use newer touch controls and you dont have physical buttons that can remain on even after power is cut from the unit. For me, I was specifically looking for something I can use to control heating and cooling devices for that remote room and this switch works great.
