Review on πŸ”Œ Aoycocr Smart Plug with Enhanced Control Functionality by Chad Siofele

Revainrating 1 out of 5

upset. Needs a lot of updates and work.

Really the cheapest I've found on Revain and almost 5 star ratings with so many happy customers on reviews. So when I was looking for smart plugs, I jumped at them. I bought 16 of these in total. Almost a month has passed. Enough time to get to know them. All ports were used in various remote locations and for remotely turning on various devices and for use with schedules and smart groups. Many began to fail. For example, after 3 weeks of work, One just wasn't working and a lot of effort was put into figuring out why it wasn't working (Revain tech support was also consulted). The final conclusion for this was that it just crashed and wasn't working, despite having given all the correct indications that it was working (switching lights and from the Smart Life app). Other bug issues: incorrectly fails at the scheduled time I set (doesn't turn on or off at the scheduled time) and just won't connect (drops off the Wi-Fi network) and goes 'offline'. I wouldn't mine as much if all the failed devices were around where I would just go and restart them, but most of them are out of sight and hours away so there was nothing I could do until I got to know whether it is activated). Or off? This is not good). One problem is that it's weird that three Smart Jacks side by side are using the same Wi-Fi network and it's always the same two that fail and disconnect from the network and go "offline". So this is the situation, out of the 16 I got, 5 of them cause this offline issue where I just can't control from the smart life app so they become unusable until I go to reset( but in one is out of service again). a few days and have to wait to get back there to reset them). As for the scheduling error, I'm not too worried right now as I can live with that as long as I can turn it on or off remotely. Return for a full refund within 30 days of Revain's return period (after that I have to contact the manufacturer directly as Amazon says it was sold after that). Smart plugs are very useful when they work. So I will try other brands that work better. Once I find them, I intend to reconfigure everything to that manufacturer. Hope I'm not the only one with these problems. Can not be. 6 faulty smart sockets out of 16 has a failure rate of over 35%, which means that since there are 4 sockets in a box, at least one must be faulty (from a 30 day testing period). Who knows how long these switches will last before they'll all fail.) Other brands I'm looking at now regardless of the price are gosund (Amazon certified) and wyze (I have 11 cameras and am happy with them). Much luck
