UBiBot SP1 Smart Plug, WiFi Outlet Socket Remote Control, Compatible with Alexa & IFTTT, Energy Monitoring and Timer Function, Delayed Switch, Temperature Monitoring (2.4G WiFi only, No hub Required)

I am a crazy lover of tropical fish and tried to find a smart home equipment which can help me feed my fish better. This new product named of ubibot SP1 allow me to connect an external probe to monitor my tank’s temperature. When temp drop below 65F, the switch will turn on my heating rod. It also can help me step a daily loop of circulation pump. Easy setup and use. Clear App instruction. If the price of this product can be less than 50 bucks, I will have a few more for my tanks.

I got this UBiBot SP1 Smart Plug to try. As a smart plug, this UBiBots biggest selling point is the temperature sensing functionality. Let me start with the upsetting part first. - The app is not intuitive to set up. I spent a half day and finally figured out I need to set the customized field so that the plug can read it. - Price is too expensive. It is more expensive than buying smart plug + smart temperature sensor altogether. On the positive side, the app does work with google assistant and amazon alexa. I planned to use it with my AC such that I can control the room temperature. It doesnt work well for my use case -- if I leave home and turns off the AC, the triggering rules will still be active, thus the plug will still turn it on when the temperature is high. I want the AC to stay off when no one is off. Having said that, if your use case requires temperature monitoring 24X7, this sensor might be workable for you. However, getting a smart temperature sensor and plug will be a more affordable way to go. Thus, Im not recommending this product at this time, unless you can get a deep discount. Thanks for reading this review and I hope you find it helpful.
