Smart Plug ESICOO, WiFi Plugs That Work with Alexa, Echo, Google Home, Surge Protector & Timer & Group Controller, ETL & FCC Certified, No Hub Required, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4 Pack

These were so easy to install. It took probably five minutes to set up all four of them for my Christmas lights around my house. I love that you can set up a schedule for when do you want them to turn on and off. But I’m not super thrilled about the military time on the app but I’ll get over it lol.

Great product for home automation. Set up is easy, app is easy, works with google home.

The Smart Plug ESICOO has exceeded my expectations in every way. With seamless integration with Alexa and Google Home, controlling my devices has never been easier. The setup was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly app. The WiFi 2.4G connectivity ensures a stable connection. Highly recommended for a smart home setup

These work fairly well; the big problem I have is every time they get unplugged or lose power, and I relogin with the app (cloud intelligence IOS app) all the timer on events get changed to timer off, and I have to manually go back and change them from ‘timer off’ to timer on. Which means remembering which is which, but at least that is easier than setting them up initially. (Which is also not all that difficult) Have had one of 8 of these get locked up, but unplugging it and resuming it (with the changing timer offs to on) did work just fine. The rest have worked flawlessly for a couple of months or more.

I wish I would have seen the exact same plugs that uses the Smart Life app for the same price, before I purchased these. These plugs run off an app named Cloud Intelligence. So, it takes additional steps to set them up. Its another app you have to pair with Alexia. Its another app to sign up for, another account, another password, and another company with your email address. Its another app you need to figure out how to use. Later, you have to remember which app runs what plug and it gets overwhelming. I have multiple light bulbs, multiple plugs, multiple light switches, a thermostat, a washer, and a TV. Now, guess the name of the app that runs what, if you have to reset it. Other than that, the plugs work fine.

I setup two of the four devices so far, and performed a quick test of countdown & timer features, manual on/off with the physical switch and the app. I used my Google account to register my logon with the Cloud Intelligence app (impossible to mess up) and then the Alexa skill setup & account linking was easy too. The reason for only 4 of 5 stars is that I ran into an issue that was NOT documented within the instructions: Devices could not connect to my 2.4GHz Wi-Fi while using WPA2 for the security setting. After being unable to find a solution, I went to my router portal and started tooling around... Eventually finding that normal (older) WPA security setting allows these devices to connect successfully.

Get the kasa smart plug instead. They are easy to connect and never fail. I got kasa after buying the esicoo and they were wonderful 1. Esicoo has 6 different types of smart plugs and none have model numbers 2. The instructions say hold button for 5 seconds and it starts blinking. The app has two choices:slow blink and fast blink. The plug blinks right in the middle and neither option works. 3. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app does not help 4. There are no way to reset the plug. 5. The plugs will not connect to app. 6. You will spend hours trying to connect them and fail. 7. There is zero tech support. 8. These are cheaply made and throw onto Amazon to collect free money from suckers 9. Your phone will be connected to your 2.4ghz wifi and the app will think it’s 5ghz and ask you to switch. This is after an uninstall and reinstall of the app. 10. You have to search for the app name to down load. Ap name not found on Amazon description. 11. No manual online. 12. I have worked in IT for 20 years. This is the only electronic device that I have hated. It’s like the manufacture created it as a gag gift to piss off a friend. Do NOT but these plugs. They will make you scream in frustration.

I’m constantly having to unplug them, because the cute little power button does nothing, just to get them to work every few weeks or so. It’s a downer because I use these on outlets that are difficult to reach so it’s very frustrating when they’re disconnected. When they do work, they work fine. As others have said, the setup process can be a pain if you’re not very tech savvy.

I’ll get right to the point. These plugs are cheap. Initial set up was cumbersome and took numerous attempts to initially connect. Once it was connected it worked fairly well until it would inevitably disconnect (device offline) and you’d have to just wait (hours or days) to reconnect or initialize set up again. I even have a WiFi extender which did nothing to address the issue. I replaced with another brand and I have had zero issues. Don’t waste your money. Also - the app is a JOKE. cloud intelligence is the name of it and it is horrendous.

I have a older house with few light switches in it and use floor lamps for lighting. I seen this and though it would be a good addition for my google nest. I ordered 8 units, 1 for each room of my house. So far I have only set up 2 of them. I have had them in use now for almost a week. The first night at 9:27 p.m. EST one of the units came on by its self, and the other worked fine. I figured it was just a learning curve issue. So the next day I plugged the unit back in the wall outlet and erased it from the app I downloaded with the QR code on the guide, uninstalled the app from my phone and redone the process, tied it to my nest and everything. Again at 9:27 pm, EST, it came on by its self. I go in to my nest settings and check for a timer setting and dont see one set, and I then check the Cloud Intelligence App from the QR code, and dont see one set. So I deleted the unit from the nest to see if that would help the issue. The next night the light came back on at 9:27 p.m. again... (IDK) By now I am 3 nights in to this one socket. I added another room on to my nest using the cloud app and a different socket. Now both lights will turn on in the middle of the night multiple times and wake me up. So I figure it is my snoring causing them to turn on through the nest. So I deleted both rooms from my nest and just use my phone to toggle them on and off. (No voice control) And both units are still turning on and off by them selves.. I came home from work yesterday and both were on and flashing rapidly 5 times on the little blue led and both units were on. I seen that my ISP done a ip dump and I had to reboot my cable modem and then repair the units to my router to get them to stop blinking so rapidly and function with the phone again. And again last night I woke up 3 different times to the lights being on. No good.
