Review on πŸ”Œ ESICOO Smart Plug (4-Pack) - Alexa & Google Home Compatible, WiFi 2.4G, Cloud Intelligence App by Rhett Fifer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceeds expectations!

Exceeds Expectations! I was concerned that the one I placed furthest from my Wi-Fi hotspot wouldn't work as the house is notoriously tight. This area has to traverse several walls with many metal obstacles from the furnace, firebox and air ducts and is even partially covered by a metal roof. The WiFi hotspot only reports 5% CCQ to the smart plug, but still works great every time and has no significant latency! That's great! I use these sockets to automate the lighting of the Christmas lights in our great room, loft and children's rooms. After checking how much standby power the smart plug draws when it's off (with a kill-a-watt meter, which I haven't done yet), I might buy a lot more if they use the standby power Reduce TV power consumption. Chromecast etc. I'll let you know after I test it! Incidentally, besides using the Android app with auto-scheduling, I've also paired it with my Google Assistant and have had great success using Google Home and Google Home Mini to control these outlets. Installation was easy and the instructions were sufficient.

Pros
  • Energy Saving and Safety: With a convenient timer function, the smart plug can safely protect devices, prevent overcharging and overheating, and reduce power consumption.
Cons
  • No Instructions
