SwitchBot Smart Plug Mini 15A, Energy Monitor, Smart Home WiFi(2.4GHz) & Bluetooth Outlet Compatible with Alexa & Google Home, APP Remote Control & Timer Function for Home Automation, No Hub Required

The Good: This is indeed a smart outlet plug that connects to an app on your phone allowing you to control your outlet power remotely. It’s a white box that plugs into a 3-prong outlet and lets you plug in (1) 3-prong power cord into it. It has a button on the side that you can use to connect its Bluetooth and as a manual ON/OFF switch. The size and shape does not block the other outlet socket. The Bad: The app certainly looks like an app, it feels like an app, and even smells like an app. But it is the furthest thing from a good app. It’s just terrible, and kind of has a resemblance to the Hue Philips app. They clearly took inspiration. When you open the app you have to create an account. And I’ll tell you right now, you better remember your password or your account is gone. I forgot my password, so I tried to reset it but was informed my email didn’t exist. I tried to make a new account with the same email and was informed I already had an account. And I always thought I was indecisive. If you forget your password, the app forgets you made an account. If you try to make a new account, then the app remembers you made an account, until you try to reset your password. When you add a device to the app list then close the app and reopen it, the app will forget you added a device; it might even sign you out. I eventually got my device to fully connect, and once that finally happened it was smooth sailing. I was able to setup some automatic timer schedules, and I’ve been using it daily without issues. In conclusion, the device works great. The app sucks and has a high potential of giving you a hard time. If, and it’s certainly possible, you get your device fully connected you’ll have exactly what you were looking for.

Havent used switchbot products before and this is my first foray into them. Ive been wanting to supplement my VESYNC/Etekcity smartplug for a long time ... teseted some Tuya/Smartlife plugs that I found a little basic compared to my Vesync one. Finally decided to get these switchbot ones since they were rated for 15A. So far, Im not too impressed with the plug. It has been going into overload protection with the dehumidifier that I have plugged in drawing ~675 watts and 5.5amps. Initially, I thought it was a fluke and powered the plug back on. But, it did it again 3 times over the course of last night. My vesync and tuya plug, neither one did this and they have overload protection as well. My thinking is that these plugs are all made in China anyway, why is the sb one so sensitive (Ive had my dehumidifier running on the vesync for over 2 months without issue).

I use it for the grow light on my succulents. It turns the light on and off just as I have it set.

Works great app is very easy to navigate no complaints I recommend

I absolutely love having this around! I have lots of lights that I use for decor and in order to save money on electric I decided to buy this smart plug to set up a routine of when they turn on and off! I can even pair it with my Alexa and turn them off then, it’s inexpensive and has an app that’s easy to use, the company has wonderful customer service as well! Hope you all enjoy it! I sure do!

In a house with no overhead lighting these are the best to have automatic light on night. These are so easy to set up and use. Will definitely continue to buy these in the future!

Ive tried a lot of different smart switches and these are top of the heap for me. The app is very intuitive and they work reliably.

Would have been nice to use CB if V it V worked.

As a stand alone smart outlet it has all the standard features and a premium energy monitoring. When you connect it the contact sensor you can do things like turn you fan on when all your windows are open. I also use it to make dumb lights motion activated. Probably the best all around smart plug

It t we lls me how much power is being used, for anything I plug into it. Do t know how accurate but I think it is pretty accurate just because
