Runs Christmas lights so I don't have to.

Wi-Fi connection and setup took less than 5 minutes. Pairing with Google Home was also very easy! It was also very easy to set it up to turn on at a certain time and turn off at another! I can also tell Google to turn it on and off with no issues! If you've set this up so that one plug is always on and the other has a timer, simply double-check the device to make sure the outlet you want to stay on is staying on. I accidentally discovered that an outlet was unplugged. Overall, this is truly the

Easy to set up, works great but has one small flaw

I'm happy with the iHome smart plug which was almost perfect and here's why. This smart outdoor socket looks good and offers control for two different sockets. It was very easy to set up with the app, and I was able to easily control my Christmas lights by programming the in-app timer with Alexa. The only downside was that the smart plug would turn itself off and then on again from time to time. It could have been a conflict with the app's software, but it lasted all night and I had to…

  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Modern

I love automation 💜

IHome is great for automating some of my Christmas lights. I scheduled the lights to go on at 4pm and off at 10pm and it's very easy to do for a dime. It was a bit difficult to sync the plugin in the app at first, but there were some connection issues, but after a few tries it happened. The Geeni app is very intuitive and very easy to use. It was very easy to find the Geeni Alexa Skill and it worked flawlessly. I can give voice commands to Alexa and she will turn it on and off whenever I want…

Works, easy installation for plug

Outdoor plug is very easy to install. One mistake I made was thinking it was using the IHome app which doesn't exist. The instructions point to the geeni app. This is not a minus of the product, but you need to know about it. Once set up, I can link it to Alexa and control each outlet individually. The fork looks well made and I'm still having issues. When installing this plug, it must be plugged into a lower outlet and should also be hanging off the floor. Placing the connector on the ground…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Fully meets my needs

I recently installed and plugged in a spotlight next to an outside socket instead of hiring an electrician to install the switch. With this setup, I had to plug and unplug it whenever I wanted to turn it on or off. I saw this and thought it would be the perfect solution to my problem. This worked as expected and I can now turn the spotlight on and off by asking Alexa to do it. Installation was easy; I connected it, installed the Geeni app and followed the instructions. I then went to the Alexa…

  • Stylish and modern design

Fast setup. Continuous.

This smart plug literally started working about 10 minutes after opening the box. The box was a little crumpled (an issue with the Revain packaging, not the product) but as the fork was well secured in the plastic bar it was not damaged when the outer box was broken. I plugged it in, downloaded the Geeni app, logged into Geeni with my google account, the device was instantly recognized by the app, I renamed the device, then named the plug and was then able to press the only button in the app…

  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Little things

Easy setup and separately controllable outputs. Poor WiFi range.

Bad: -- Poor WiFi range: I wanted to use a smart plug to control an outdoor pond, so the smart plug had to be plugged into an outlet outside and at ground level. It was connected to Wi-Fi at home, but when moved outdoors and 18 inches off the ground in an outlet, it would not connect. -- Timer doesn't work when it's out of WiFi range: Even if you set the timer schedule while the device is in WiFi range, the timer won't work if you use the smart switch outside of WiFi range. Move Range -- 2.4G…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
