PORIK SP01 Smart Plug That Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant & SmartThings, WiFi Outlet with Remote and Voice Control, Smart Socket with Timer & Schedule, No Hub Required (1-Pack)

These are not the first Porik mini smart plugs I’ve ordered. I have four of these configured to control old-school electric fans in my home. They are so handy and easy to use that I decided I needed a couple more for fans in other rooms. Not only do these turn the appliances on and off (when summer is over, I’ll probably use them for other appliances and non-smart lamps), but you can set timers or schedules with them. I already had the Osaio app on my phone and tablet, so this was easy enough. I did have a bit of difficulty adding these two new WiFi plugs when my tablet was connecting through my WiFi extender. I may have had the same difficulty last time. I changed to the main network router, made sure the new plugs were in visual range of the router, and also, as the manufacturer recommends, kept the device with the app pretty close (within about a yard) to the smart plugs. That worked easily. Once they’re recognized/registered, you can move them to more distant outlets within the range of your WiFi. The app recommended that I update the firmware on the plugs once they were recognized, which was quick and easy. You can initially name the plugs through the app, and when I placed them in the outlets where I’ll be using them, I renamed them so I knew what they were controlling. I’ve included a number of screen captures. The Osaio app is good—not all manufacturer WiFi apps are great, but I’ve never had a problem with this one. That said, I also use Google Home to control these plugs because it consolidates my smart bulbs, too. So when I’m done for the night and getting into bed, I use Google Home to power down everything—though sometimes I use the timers on one or two of these plugs to keep the fans going for another hour or two. I’ve just become addicted to the smart home devices and these Porik plugs work really well. The app, as mentioned, is a good one; the size of the plugs is compact (though if you have these in a standard outlet, you’re not going to be able to plug anything huge in the outlet above or below it—but there are ways around that, like an extension cord for the other thing); and these are priced VERY reasonably. My home keeps getting smarter. I wish I could say the same for myself. Though… these are a very SMART purchase

They work great!!! At an awesome price!

Easy to setup and easy to use. However the app for these items are not smart enough. And the products are so large that you can not two of them in a outlet. They are still works well and worse at this price.

Does not connect directly to SmartThings. Privacy policy for information gathered from app is questionable. Read the policy before connecting.

Wen couldn’t get them to work! They would not pair with our devices….

I got these to be lazy. I use it for my lamp. Now I dont have to get up to turn the lamp off. Im going to try it on my greenhouse lights, so I can turn them on from anywhere.

exactly what ai wanted

Even after you set it up with Smart Life and connect it still will not hook to Smartthings. This is not compatible. If that is what you are looking for do NOT BUY

I tried repeatedly on several ocassions to make these outlets connect but they will not recognize my AT&T network. My router uses the same network name and password for both its 5G and 2.4G signal (this device only uses the 2.4G signal) but this device will not connect. I was very much looking forward to using this device because of its smaller footprint, but Ill have to send these back and order more of the larger Alexa plugs.
