NSI Industries TORK WFIP2 Smart Dual Plug - Indoor Standard Wi-Fi 3-Prong 2 Outlets Plug - Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant - Remote Access with Smartphone/Tablet App - No Hub Required

This wifi plug works well with Google Home. I needed to download the vendors specific app, and put it onto my 2.4Ghz wifi network, then I could sync it with Google Home and so far it seems to work fine. Since this is a dual plug with the plugs on the sides, it does take more room than a single plug would -- just be sure you have enough room for it. It seems well made, but I will update this review if there any problems in the future. ** I received this in exchange for a review, but the review is based on my own experience with the product.**

I have 2 lamps sitting on our Fake Fireplace with unsightly cords that had to hang along the sides because that is where the controls were located. Now I can hide the cords and just say “Alexa – Turn-on fireplace lights” and with her pleasant little voice she say’s “Okay” and it’s done! Not only that, I have 3 plugs with only 1 outlet on that wall so this was the ideal solution. They weren’t too hard to set up although AP mode was easier for some reason. The plug is sturdy and doesn’t stick out too far and still allows for another large 3 prong in the same 2 plug outlet. I’m actually going to purchase another one for a console table I have with dual lamps. You can’t beat this plug for this type of lamp where you have to fish around the cords to find the controls. Love it!

Both sockets are on one controller, so Im not sure that I wouldnt rather have a smaller unit with only one socket. The app on the iPhone is easy enough to setup and use, but you need to create an account with them. Not sure why. No login and a smaller single socket design or ability to control each socket would have resulted in five stars.

I’ve tried a few of these WiFi outlets and this is definitely one of the better ones. It’s a pretty straightforward concept, plug in, pair, and configure to your liking. I had no issues with pairing and I got it to configured to some mood lights in our entertainment center. I’ve even been able to configure this with voice commands However the commands are pretty limited, mainly turn on and off. I’ve been unable to get it to dim. I would have loved the ability to integrate it with apple home app but I’ve been unable to. Overall, it’s a solid plug and works well with the apps it can configure to.

Im using the latest version of the Android software. It took a few tries, but when I used the Smart Life app (which I use for other smart plugs), things worked. Two critics who gave it three stars said that they did not like the fact that you cannot control things independently. They did not see the utility of having one device controlling two sockets. What a failure of imagination. I can see that some people could find that useful. For example, you might have two lights that you want to control together. So you either want them both on or both off always at the same time. Having it all controlled by one switch saves you the hassle of having to switch one and then the other off. Alexa, turn off light 1. Alexa, turn off light 2. This is better: Alexa, turn off my dual lights. So that would be a useful feature. Thats just one example. Another possibility is that theres a part of your house where you only have one plug available and you dont mind the two devices going on and off together. Example: your PC and your printer. Or your TV and your mood lighting.

Absolutely LOVE this! We initially used it in the living room for area lighting, and moved it to the bedroom. It works awesome with Alexa, and being able to to turn on any device while we are away adds that extra level of we might be home, we might not.

This NSI Tork smart plug was easy to install and looked exactly as pictured. It can control 2 devices but right now we only have a lamp installed. Once we downloaded the app, It took 5 minutes to set up and link to Alexa. We already had the Alexa system but if you dont you will have to buy. I use it for a lamp and its as simple as Alexa, turn on living room light and it hasnt failed yet. Been about 1.5 weeks. I do notice there is a couple second delay but no big deal. I normally use it when I come into the house via voice, but its nice you can control remotely in case you need a light on when you are away from home.

I do not have Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, so I cannot speak to how it integrates there. I do have Apple Homekit and a Lutron hub that handles my Z-wave devices. I have automated Lutron window shades and Sonos home audio. This is my first automated wall plug. It does not integrate with anything I currently have, so I had to download the Tork App. I have multiple 5ghz wifi routers in my home, but this device requires 2.4ghz. No big deal, but I had to make sure my phone was on 2.4ghz network that I wanted the device to pair to first. It was fairly easy to pair after that. On set up, turning on and off was simple. Could not figure out if there was any Siri integration. Doesnt appear so. Setting up scenes and automation was simple enough. I could not figure out the Random automation where I could make light come on randomly when away from home. Taking off a star because it doesnt integrate with Homekit or Smartthings, and requires its own app to control.

Work great, easy setup

This really helped me in my home automation. I wanted to automate our bedside lamps, but the way I was doing it robbed me of outlets. I need to plug in the lights, the USB charger, the variety of other things that want to be recharged overnight. This freed up an outlet, I plugged both lights in, and has another available wall light, and a single unit managing the bed lamps. Setting up and configuration was easy. But do think about names carefully. My lamp was called John. Which worked perfectly. Until I heard my daughter saying Alexa, turn on John. That was not a good place to be. Dad would have been at least as bad. My light is now his my wifes light is named hers. Always think before you name things :)
