> 3 dayI got this for a nightlight for my grandsons. It makes it so easy to remotely turn the light off so i dont have to worry about going into their room and waking them. Its easy to pair with the app and integrate with Alexa. Im considering buying the 2 pack for a couple other areas in my house. Packaging is clean, minimal and eco friendly. Would recommend.

> 3 dayGot these smart plugs and use them seamlessly with my Alexa app to control the lights when I am away. The setup is easy through the Vont App. The app is easy to use and set up routines or you can set up the routine through Alexa The rectangular plug allows you to use both outlets unlike the round smart plugs from other companies.

Greater than one weekTLDR (long version below): About the only thing I could get to work right on these plugs was the manual on and off switch. Everything on the app never worked right. The scheduling function never worked basically at all (it would actually randomly switch my lamp on in the middle of the night, waking me up) and while I got the on and off switches on the app to eventually work, it took a while. I contacted their support about my issues and never heard back. Should’ve just bought a switch timer. Long version: I got these plugs because I was looking for something I could easily schedule to turn my lamp on and my fan off in the mornings to help wake me up and get me out of bed. These were not it. They were easy to setup; the main problem came with the app. When I first went to pair the plugs, the app had trouble finding my wifi. Then the plug software needed to update. That took forever (they say you can go off the page when it’s updating but that just ended up stopping the update). Finally, when that was done I went to go turn the plugs on and off on my app. Nothing. I tried unplugging, resetting, etc. Still nothing. The manual switch on them was still working fine, but turning them on and off manually defeats the whole purpose of getting these. Finally I just went to sleep. Tried them the next day. They finally worked, but only if I tried turning them on and off 2-4 times. Since time fixed the problem before, I thought maybe it might fix the problem now. Maybe the new software is causing an issue or something. I gave them a week and during that time looked at their FAQ and around the internet. I didn’t find anything helpful. Finally, the plugs were turning on and off reliably via my app. Now to set up a schedule on the app (the whole reason I got these). Didn’t work. Okay, I’ll give it some time. A few days later, my lamp was turning on and off. In the middle of the night. Randomly. I kept getting woken up from the hours of 1-4AM, when it was supposed to be turning on at 5:30AM. I checked time zones, did troubleshooting, etc. Did the same thing with my fan, which wasn’t turning off at any point despite the lamp and fan being set to turn on at the same time. The scheduling function just didn’t work. Turned the schedule off on my lamp so I could get some sleep, but kept it on for my fan just to see what would happen. A few days later it started to occasionally turn off when it was supposed to, and about a week after that it started to actually obey the schedule most of them time. The lamp was still a lost cause though. I also sent a help ticket in about my plugs since especially the lamp was still acting up and the many hours I had spent researching fixes for these problems had yielded nothing. They said I should get contacted within 24 hours about the issue. I never got contacted. I waited until my return window almost closed just in case they had a backlog and needed extra time. Nope. Ended up returning the plugs.

> 3 dayFirst of all, I was reimbursed for the purchase price of this product in return for my feedback to Vonts beta test program. That said, Im really pleased with these smart plugs. The packaging was nicely done and is completely recyclable. The basic instructions the switches came with were all that was needed to get them up and running (after you download the Vont app to your phone or tablet). Setup, including adding the switches to my Google Home Assistant, took fewer than five minutes for both plugs, and they worked right off the bat. Now, Im looking for other places to use more of them. Id wholeheartedly recommend this product for anyone looking for a smart plug, and I plan to purchase more soon.

> 3 daySimply unbox, plug in, open the app, and connect your plug. I love being able to turn the plug on and off from my phone (the plug is in an unreachable location). I can also turn the indicator light on or off so its not distracting in a dark bedroom. Very easy to install and even easier to use in my day to day.

> 3 dayThese Vont smart plugs (2-pack) were really easy to setup with their Vont Home app. After setup I was able to easily get Alexa to work with them as well. I can control both a floor lamp and Christmas Story Leg Lamp in my living room easily with the app or by voice using Alexa. I have also created a nightly schedule for them to turn on & off automatically. These have consistently worked well, and are much more versatile than using an old-fashioned plug-in timer that is DUMB. Love these!

> 3 dayIts wonderful piece of technology. No longer do I have to turn on 2 bedroom lights every night. Just tell Alexa 3 words Alexa lights on Its so much easier. Be aware, its not easy to connect to Alexa. I almost returned it. The app would not except info from my autofill. Enter all info manually!!!!

> 3 dayInstalled the Vont app and set up the smart plugs. It was easier than I expected, and I can use Alexa to control the plugs. The price was great, the plugs work as advertised, and I am going to buy more of these to add to my smart plug collection.

> 3 dayLove this is a single plug size and doesnt block other plugs. Easy to set up and easy to use. The in app schedule and timer are a bit lacking. You can only create one schedule for on or off but not both. Its a bit odd. I ended up using alexa to schedule it with routines.
