Wifi Smart Plug Set of 2 Mini Smart Outlet Compatible with Alexa Remote Control By Smart Phone from Anywhere Anytime (2 Packs)

I need to return my two smart plugs. Both wont allow me to set up the sunset and sunrise times for on and off. It keeps reverting back to the 15 minute timer. Also, even when I try to use the light without any settings such as the timer, etc., the light simply turns itself off at random times. This does this even if I simple turn on the light using no other functions. I would like to return these, but I dont know how to do it. I didnt put the plugs into service for a month or so after they arrived so I apparently went over the window for returns. I would like the seller to contact me to work something out. I will change the star rating to 5 if the return process works well. Thank You.

SUPER easy to hookup. I bought 2 sets of these for my Echo and in literally 20mins I had all the christmas stuff on them so when I walk in the door and say Alexa, Merry Christmas everything turns on. before bed I say Alexa, Cancel Christmas and it all gets turned off. I also setup some simpler routines to turn off just certain lights and leave others on etc. these are GREAT. they all basicll work the same, so just shop the deals and read the reviews....some are better than others but they all setup the same prety much, I have 4 of these and one other and they all lace nice all on the same Echo DOT (which is EXACTLY the same as the Echo except it sounds better and mosre bass, but thats it. Dont let anyone tell you different, theyre lying or simply dont know) if you dont need this for powering music etc then save the money and get the dot, if you want it for music get the echo for its louder speaker and bassier sound. Those or the only two differences. NOTHING more. Ive heard all kinds of stuff that Only the Echo allows calling and the DOT doesnt etc. /WRONG...they both do if you have two of them. if you only have one you will NOT have a calling, pging or intercom type of use on either one.

They work great, I just can’t fit anything else in the outlet if I have one of these plugged in.

Im giving a pretty high review because I easily set up both of these using the default approach, and the price is good for the feature set. I downloaded the Smart Life app on iOS, created an account (yes, it requires your phone number...Im not too troubled by that). I had one problem giving my full Wifi SSID password, it was too long to enter into the Smart Life app on iOS. So I attached these to my guest network which has a shorter password (and probably a good idea anyway). If not for this one problem I might give a 5-star review. There was also a backup connection approach which makes these their own temporary WiFi AP (a lot of devices do this as an alternative connection means). I did not need to use that, as the plan A approach worked fine for me. I renamed each of these to a good straightforward name and enabled the Alexa Smart Life smart home skill, and discovered the devices. All of this worked flawlessly and I can use the app or Alexa to control these. The Smart Life skill also supports IFTTT for the more advanced home automation tinkerers. My only concern, I guess, is that these require a cloud platform to stay running for them to continue to work - and that means ongoing costs. If the company ever decides to shut this down, these no longer function. Although made in China my two units both connect to EC2 instances in US-West-2 on the MQTT port. You can easily check this by checking your local router to find the assigned IP, then search in the list of open ports what target IP and port they connect to, and then run a whois to find ownership of the related IP block. Anyway, Im counting on these staying operative but I guess there is no guarantee. EDIT: Ive been using these for many months and theyre still great.

From 1 star to 4 stars: I have spent countless hours trying to make these useless dumb plugs work with either Alexa or my iPhone. Cannot connect to either. Tiny instructions that are unreadable. The app is no help whatsoever. What a frustrating waste of time and money. The other reviews stating easy setup must be fake. The only one I believe states it took twenty hours. Returning to Amazon ASAP. Update Im not a person who accepts defeat so I didnt returned the plugs to Amazon. I couldnt make the setup work with the Smart Life app. I tried for days without success. On YouTube I discovered that I can use the Tuya app. BINGO!!! The plugs linked easily to my iPhone and Alexa. The plugs work fine.

I have six of these now and absolutely love them, they work with Echo, are super easy to set a timer and look good. I do wish they were slightly smaller in size because they make using the other outlet impossible unless it is a normal plug. So for example, I can not plug in an iphone charger in the other outlet.

We love these! All I️ wanted was for all of my Christmas lights to turn on at the same time and this is It. We got them in the mail, my husband plugged them in a set up a “network” for all Christmas lights and viola! No worries about not being home. Also, I️ can turn them on early from my phone!!!!

So far so good. Setup was a snap, took less than 15 minutes to get two units up and running. Using these to control TVs used for digital signage at a school -- created a schedule for the desired hours and so far is working exactly as expected. The ability to set up once only sessions or simply turn on/off on demand -- even from a remote location -- is great for the times when theres an event outside regular school hours when the display being on would be nice. UPDATE 1/30/18 -- both units have started to operate on the schedules programmed. Connectivity is not an issue as the unit can be toggled on/off readily. But after multiple days of systems staying on overnight we need to find a more reliable solution.

Convenient but feels like it is missing some functionality. Cant get it to pair with IFTTT which would be nice to be able to turn lights off when I leave the house. First order had a dud but the company was quick in shipping me out a new one. Great customer service.

As long as you can follow directions, this product works well. When integrating this with Amazon Echo devices, it does take a few steps to set these up. However, once set up, they are excellent.
