Greater than one weekThey work with a different app than all my other devices, I wish it were ewelink or kasa compatible, but they work good and Ive had no issues. Works great with Google home ***follow up 3/20/2022*** These plugs are still working fine, if you are a basic user they will work for you. I use IFTT for more advanced automation such as inching switches as multi-action situations like having my motion activated flood light camera turn on my blink camera recordings, sound an audible alarm, turn on different lights around the house and send us texts. The cloud intelligence app will not work in IFTTT. I was able to swap these with some other basic plugs that I dont use with IFTTT so it was not the end of the world for me. Be aware - Does not work with IFTTT

> 3 dayOnly issue I had was that it suggests that the product needs updated software but when you try (in the US) to do it...you get a forbidden to upgrade message. It did not stop the product from working as expected however, just click ignore and it works fine.

> 3 dayThese products worked great for the first year! However, do not plan on them working longer than that! I bought 20 of these in total and used them for Christmas lights last year in my home. Tried to reconnect them this year and only 3 of them still work. The others will connect, but after about an hour, they all just stop working entirely. Waste of money!

> 3 day2022 Dec update: Just wanted to add that it still works with Alexa. I saw a lot of 1star reviews stating it does not. Once you added your plugs to the smart app, you need to link your app with alexa and it works without problems. Very good bundle price! Easy setup with Alexa! Phone app is also great, I love the timer function! Only downside is that because it is circular and not rectangular, it limits your double sockets. You can still use the second but only with smaller, simple plugs. If your second plug is bigger, there’s not enough room to use it on the same socket.

> 3 dayThese smart plugs are less than half the size of my old tplink plugs. My old plug would block both sockets and more. These new plugs are much better and take up a small footprint. I took some photo of my old plug next to it. The setup was pretty straightforward. Just install the app, add the device with 2.4gz Wi-Fi, and add Alexa services. It took me about 2 minutes to set up each plug. I was able to control the plug using voice via Alexa. So far it’s working well. The app also allows for scheduling. I used mine to control my plant lights, aquarium lights, and fans/lamps around the house. I’m pretty happy with these so far. Good price for 4.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIm using these to control the light and heat panels to my chicken house. I let them out in the day even in freezing weather so theres no sense in heating an open coop. So the heat comes on only when needed. Lights as well go off after a while so they can rest in winter without constant light. It also comes on at the same time signaling bedtime and they usually return to the coop voluntarily. I also can control it via the app remotely if I feel its super cold I cant turn the heat on from the house to allow them a warmer space to wait out the rain or what have you. I will surely find other uses as well, perhaps for pond features, turning them off at night to conserve energy, etc. Or in place of dusk to dawn feature with shed lighting that needs plugging in. Very impressed with the ease of the app set up and responsiveness of the devices. You can rename them to keep them straight. Not sure the hack ability but I figure hackers messing by with my chickens lights is the least of my concerns. Edit 8/6/22: removing a star only because these things are NOT every efficient. Were off grid so we were using these to turn lights on and off on a schedule for fowl and fans for hen houses, they burn too much energy just trying to stay connected to the WiFi. They are great for common houses attached to a grid that can just burn electricity all day and night, but they drain out batteries even when nothing is in use because the plug itself uses a electricity. A little disappointing but thats tech for you. I need something more basic that can run with little electrical use that wont drain my batteries before weve had a chance to use them for their intended purpose.
