Just set up and go!

Fantastic! You can add a schedule and work without the Alexa or Google app. I am definitely happy with this purchase and the app that comes with it. If you prefer to plug it in, it has the capabilities of Revain and Google smart devices.

Pros
  • Socket switch
Cons
  • I don't remember

Failed on first use. Poorly thought out. Cheap junk.

This is NOT as described. First you need to download their app before Alexa or Google Home can see the device. I bought this on purpose due to the misleading description and wanted a device that didn't require me to have another app. Application in Chinese. As a network engineer and with other "smart" devices, I went through the usual setup. When I connected the light to the device, sparks flew. When moving the device, some metal can be heard inside. Very badly done. Broke on first use. what…

Pros
  • Sockets and accessories
Cons
  • No instructions

Too many steps! Finally returned.

Difficult to set up with Alexa or Echo! You have to download the app for the plugin and create an account, already 1 step (or a pain). Then plug in the smart plug (the instructions say to place it as close to the router as possible, REALLY!), problem number 2. Make sure the little light on the plug is blinking fast. Then open the plugs app, select the plug to pair (if it shows at all), pain 3. I failed after several attempts, pain 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8! My teenage son was finally able to put it…

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • Doubtful
