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

I have multiple of these and they work great with the phone app. Well worth the price.

Zero stars. Pathetic garbage. Don’t buy,

The first thing that I noticed about this was the maker...it was interesting for me to see Monster throw their proverbial hat in the smart home ring but I think its great. The second thing I noticed was the MSRP but it was actually very reasonable. I remember a few years ago anything like this would be triple or more. In addition to this being Smart, it tracks energy usage. I am not sure how accurate it is (and I dont have a device at the moment to confirm it), but the math seems to make sense and add up. This was simple to install, it has been pretty easy to integrate with my existing system. I like the simplicity, the features, and the value. Pros: Easy to install Great value Tracks energy usage Works well Cons: I wish it took up a bit less space because it is sometimes more difficult to maneuver around it

Doesnt connect to my wifi no matter what settings I change. I cant even bypass this step either. If you buy this product throw it in the garbage where it belongs. Cant even use it when I got it. Fix your app its broken.

No dislikes, I love them.

I got the 2 pack and the 4 pack of these plugs, they are identical but you do save some money per plug if you get the 4 pack. I’ve been using them for a while and they are super easy to use and very useful. I got these because I wanted to check how much energy my water dispenser was using, I just got it but it doesn’t have an energy rating. With the current energy cost because of the high heat I didn’t want to add to much to the bill. According to this device, the dispenser will cost .80 cents per bill cycle or 2.80 with the hot option also turned on. I did a few quick tests to check the accuracy and the readings seem fairly accurate only going over by a watt, I just measured a lamp with a bulb that had a power rating and also charged my phone while using a usb power meter attached. The plugs are most likely taking their own power draw into the measurement because of the single watt difference, power measuring devices are not expensive so I’m sure these plugs are accurate. The app has a very clean and modern look to it and seems to pair with SwitchBot products very easily. I’m not sure why the app has such negativity but it’s been working perfectly for me so far, I have an iPhone 8plus. These plugs also have Bluetooth so they are even easier to pair because you get a prompt when you press the add button. The plugs are not intrusive so you can plug two on the same outlet. They have a physical button to keep them on or off. What I really like about these is that the plug will remember it’s last position incase the lights go out, some sockets will stay off if the power is interrupted. These also have a small LED light to show the status that can be turned off using the app.. These have a 15A rating which seems perfect for most devices, wall outlets also have a rating in amps and 15A is the average used indoors. These plugs are mainly smart plugs, the meter function is an extra tool. If you are trying to test devices that use more power than a microwave then a dedicated power meter will be better. I have an air compressor outside that I would love to test but I know that these plugs have their limits be they are primarily just smart switches. The only annoying thing these do is that there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to delete the history data on the app. You can restart the power counter by keeping the button on the plugs pressed for 15 seconds, this is also how you reset and rename them, but the history data will still be there. I’m not sure if deleting the app would delete the data but it should have been made easier to do. Overall these plugs are super useful, the app also lets you create Siri commands to have her power the plugs. The Bluetooth feature also allows you to connect to the plugs of the Wi-Fi is out, Bluetooth connection will be limited to its range.

I use this to control my power strip that turns on and off my lights for my kids indoor garden project. App is easy to use, you just plug it in and set the schedule. Done. If you want an app-controlled timer (keep in mind it is Bluetooth range only) its a good choice from a real company, not some jumblename knockoff.

Connecting to a hub was easy. The switch has been working well so far.

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

We have had a few different smart plugs in our home from TP-Link (Kasa) and Wemo. The TP-Link have been my favorite of those two, but I think these Switchbot plugs at least tie with the TP-Links. First off, they are small (for smart plugs), have good build quality, easy to setup and configure, and they havent had trouble staying connected to the WiFi (sometimes I get disconnection issues with the Wemo switches). Connecting to Alexa and Google Assistant was also really easy. The main way we use these smart plugs is through voice commands, and these have been really responsive and easy to use. I didnt like the app as much as Kasa, so if you plan on using an App to control the switches Id recommend comparing the two.
