> 3 dayI have two of these outlets controlling the lights on two different aquariums. They work great. I have had a few issues with them not turning on but the tech support is very quick to respond and get everything working as it should.

> 3 dayWhen it comes to bluetooth, computers etc...I am so lost. I previously purchased a plug with hopes of programming it. I was so frustrated with it. I packaged it up and sent it right back. So I purchased this smart plug so I can control my christmas lights. It wasnt that hard to set up. I downloaded the app..followed the instructions and I was so proud of myself that I was able to set it up ALL BY MYSELF! My lights comes on and off at the times I set. This plug is absolutely wonderful. The best part is I can control the lights with my smart phones as well. Now I havent figured out how to make it work with my Alexa yet..but I will soon. Im determined. I hightly recommend this plug.

> 3 dayGreat power plugs, were easy to install and have a nice design. I was able to quicky add them to my vont app with the other vont items, and they are super user friendly. Lastly, they are in an ok price range (tot the cheapest buy the qualitt is there, so cant complain).

> 3 dayI received these smart plugs from Vont as a product tester and found them to work very well. I installed the Vont Home app on my Android phone, which easily discovered and added the two devices. I then linked the smart plugs to both Alexa and Google Home and found these apps to be a very simple way to control the switches. Here are what I found to be the smart plugs pros and cons... Pros: • Very simple and fast to discover and pair with Vont Home app and to integrate with Alexa & Google Home. • Two plugs fit nicely onto one standard outlet (see pic). • Blue LED indicator may be enabled/disabled in Vont Home app, which is nice for rooms where these LEDs could be distraction or cause of insomnia. • Solid, heavy feel. • Higher 15 amp max is great for higher draw items such as heaters (see pic) or dumb coffee makers -- I connected an old coffee maker to one of these plugs and made an Alexa skill where saying Alexa, make coffee! would start my coffee maker on demand, and Alexa, Im cold! would turn on my heater. • Very fair/low price in my opinion. Cons: • The Vont Home app still needs refining (which Vont is doing) to make it easier and more clear to use. While it was easy to discover & add the plugs, the apps shortcomings are mainly small things like the color difference between on and off switch is gray vs. slightly darker gray (see pic) instead of green vs. red, for example. Setting up timers with Vont Home is a bit clunky. With the simple Alexa or Google Home integration I honestly dont see any need to use the Vont Home app once the plugs are set up. I highly recommend these plugs, and thank Vont for giving me the opportunity to test them.

> 3 dayWorks well but a bit difficult to decifer how to really use it. I got it working for what I needed but has other features I cant figure out and the directions are TINY had to use a magnifying glass to read them

> 3 dayPackaging was small and instructions clear and easy. Setup and installation was a literal breeze and start to finish couldnt have been more then 10 mins. I have always wanted to make the leap and purchase some smart plugs and now I am left to wonder what took me so long! Price is perfect for two. Such a modern day convenience that everyone should try out.

> 3 dayI am using this product for remote restart of many devices, like modem, router, saving me many tedious trips to the attic. It can also used to stop charging of phones, turning off lights, etc. Great product and easy to configure.

> 3 dayWorks great although app can use a design upgrade it can be a little confusing when setting up schedules. Would definitely buy again if needed.

> 3 dayThe plugs come in a minimal amount of packaging. I appreciate that the packaging is recyclable and minimal. The plugs are easy to install. I setup Vont Home in moments, and then adding the plugs, including discovery was super smooth. If youre putting this on a two plug wall outlet this will only take one plug. Thats nice. The one oddity was that scheduling the device to turn off everyday at a certain time, and then turn on at a certain time is not under schedule, but instead under rules. Not a big deal, I found it quickly and once I did it was really easy. Id expect a future version of the firmware to either change this or to include a note under the scheduling section. I have a few smart plugs and assuming this lasts well I would recommend getting this one.
