TOPGREENER TGWF115PRM Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring, Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required, White, Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant - Amazon Vine

I flashed these with ESPHome and use them within Home Assistant for state tracking of IR controlled devices. Works great for my purposes. These are some of the few remaining devices which can still be flashed with tuya-convert, so definitely grab these quick if thats what youre looking for.

I got the two pack of this on a deal. it came out to about $20 each. I like that the set up was easy. The feel of the product seems sturdy and heavy duty. I like that it is 15A and I can run a small space heater on it during the winter. I use it to turn on a lamp in the living room while I am away to let people think that someone is home. The only thing I dont like about it is the size. It is much bigger than I thought it would be. I can see how its size would be a problem if the outlet is near furniture. But once you put it on the wall, you leave it there and you dont think about it anymore.

The 2 smart plugs cam in a very nice and neat cardboard box. I haven’t tried the plugs yet, but I was taking them out of the box, in order to use the first one and noticed that the plastic adhesive that goes over the plugs to keep the pugs clean was dirty. As I was pulling it out, I happened to look at the plastic adhesive and it looked like the person adding there plastic adhesive films to the plugs, must have been stuck to their dirty workbench and then stuck to the plug. All that I would like to say about that is, it would be best to have a clean workplace for that worker, so the adhesive doesn’t look bad. I haven’t unpacked or used the plug yet, so I can’t speak to how good or not the plug is. I will update, once I have pulled the plug out and start working with it.

I hooked one of these up to my old plasma TV (435 watts), a 15W LED lamp (0.3 kWh in all of December - it runs for hours every day), my central heater (not the AC - so it just runs the electronics and the overall fan - usually around 90W when running), my new OLED TV (90W - 160W), and the wifes Christmas tree (incandescent lights - about 500W) I rotate outlets around once I know the electrical impact. VERY handy The app is easy to use and seems accurate

Great smart plugs, works perfectly with Google Home mini. Use one to make sure my hair straightener is off when I leave the house! Took off a star because they are large, and take up two outlets for one.

I had low expectations for these little guys seeing as they were quite a bit cheaper than comprable watt meters with a LED readout. But the ability to connect to Wi-Fi seemed convenient so I decided to give it a try. Theyve easily exceed any expectations and I might even buy a few more. The only issue was set-up was a bit challenging, at least for me. It took probably 10-15 minutes and several tries but eventually I got it to work with the app. I had better luck with the alternate pairing method or whatever its called so you might want to try that right off the bat. Also I think I may have erred by plugging them in before I was ready to pair, you may want to wait until you have the app ready to do that. The biggest pleasant surprise was the quality of the app. (You need to have the app to get any use out of this product.) Ive used a bunch of cheaply made companion apps but this was definitely not one of them. It works very smoothly and the UI is great. Its a bit annoying that you have to create a free account with TOPGREENER to use it but I guess that should be expected these days. It prompts you to share your location but you dont need to do this for it to work. Once set up the app makes it very easy to toggle the power of your plugs, as well as view the current and historical power consumption. If you unplug the units they immediately reconnect to the app when you plug them in again so no worries there. One last thing, I noticed someone here was alarmed that the watts on the readout dont equal volts * amps. Thats because this formula doesnt hold true for alternating current. I cant comment on the accuracy of the wattage figures (which are shown to the nearest 0.1 watts) but they seem to be reasonable. EDIT: Had a space heater (1300 watts) running through the plug for about an hour and when I disconnected it the unit was noticeably warm. I dont think it was a fire risk or anything but just something you might want to be aware of, especially for even higher-wattage appliances.

The device has the same exact model number as the earlier flashable devices. I believe it still utilizes the ESP8266 but has the new Tuya firmware. Works Ok as a Tuya device.

I was pleased with these; easily configured to work w/ google home... working well for months... love the power usage monitoring... yet we had a power outage - for 3 hours... and now I need to completely reprogram them ! That alone is annoying enough that it would prevent me from purchasing more of these, and looking for a smarter option that doesnt require re-provisioning after power outage .

I was looking high and low for a timer for my pool pump and most of them would not handle the amperage that the pump draws. I purchased a pair of these and was really surprised that it will start and stop my pool pump at the times that I select. It even tells me how much power is being used by the day and for the month along with past months.

Ive been able to track how much energy that several utilities use, these have been handy in tracking down what makes the bill higher.
