> 24 hourI got the Wifi version, ordered 2 of them. One of them works very well, the other doesnt power on at all, a complete dud. The one that works was easy to pair with the Smart Life App and it works with Alexa as well. Amazon says theyre sending a replacement for the dead one and it should be here tomorrow. Im using them (well, one of them right now) to control 2 5,000 btu window air conditioners (and probably 1,000w heaters in the winter.) Make sure you dont exceed 1,100w, thats all it can take, and unfortunately most space heaters are 1,500w. Luckily, most 5k btu air conditioners only use like 400-500w on high. One criticism is that, if the unit is off, Alexa cant change the temperature setting. You have to tell her to turn it on first, then tell her to change the temp. I hope the replacement for the dud works. Well see tomorrow.

> 24 hourRequires 2.4GHz WiFi and a phone or tablet set to the same. You can set the phone back to 5 after its paired. A little tricky to get it paired up to WiFi and the app, but it worked with a little patience. The app is a bit clunky but functional and does what you want with a little finagling. I would have been happy with it but it only worked for 6 days before the temperature sense went to -3F and stayed on in heat mode beyond the set temperature. Disconnecting and reconnecting the sensor, power cycling the unit made no difference.

> 24 hourI really love these devices. I am using them in our fifth wheel to ensure the dogs are comfortable when we step out to a restaurant. We keep the a/c thermostat active in case the outdoor temperature sores from 32F to 80F in a matter of hours, usually around noon. Bought two last year but Snowmagedon rolling blackouts in Texas shorted out both of the outlet controllers and my space heaters. This year I bought two more, one in white and one in black so I could keep the remotes straight. I kept the old remotes from last season just because they work great as thermometers independently of the controllers.

> 24 hourThe probe doesnt work, even though Ive plugged and unplugged the probe, reset factory data in the device settings, then also removed the device entirely from the app and reconnected several times. It then displayed simple thermostat and said it was 34 Celsius but then the probe shows so responsiveness to temp changes like the heat of my hand or blowing on it, not by even 1 or 2 degrees. I have a mercury thermometer in my room to cross reference

> 24 hourDoes what it says. One issue Im having is that I set a schedule in the app where it turns off when I leave a distance from home, turns back on upon return. Unfortunately, it just turns on to manual setting, it doesnt go back to the set programmed schedule. I have written the company asking for this update, hasnt happened yet. So, now my schedule gets turned off automatically if I leave the vicinity, and I have to manually turn back on when I return. Kinda annoying.

> 24 hourI use these to control a couple of electric heaters in my garage. To my surprise I discovered that two switches could be operated by one controller. The temperature reads five degrees high. When the unit reads 55 degrees f, it’s actually 50 according to numerous other thermometers

> 24 hourI used this on a wall mounted panel heater in my bedroom that only has an on/off switch. I was either freezing or waking up in the middle of the night sweating my backside off. With this thermostat plugged in line and set up, I was able to enjoy a comfortable nights sleep for the first time in quite a while. I am very happy with the performance of this little gem.

> 24 hourGreat product works well as designed. However, I wished the thermostat was located in the outlet plug in instead of the remote control. The beeping and light can be annoying for a bedroom.

> 24 hourUsed it all summer long to control the window A/C unit it my kitchen. It seemed accurate and it definitely turned the unit off and on.

> 24 hourGood addition to our cooler control. Set the temp you want and forget it. Remote can be moved to each room to check the temp in each room. Easy to set up and easy to set the desired temp. Would definitely buy again
