Broke within 24 hours

Bought for outdoor Christmas lights. Setup was easy. I checked during the day and everything worked. When evening came, the light didn't come on, although the plug itself responded. After testing the socket with other devices, I can see that this plug did not work and is no longer working properly. The indicator light responds, but all devices connected to it are not receiving power. You may want to consider other brands for your needs. I will update if anything changes.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not all fit

Must have different SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks

I have a router that automatically connects both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks to the same one SSID supported. I have devices that connect over 2.4GHz and others over 5GHz and they all use this one SSID. This plugin requires you to rename your networks so that you have one SSID for the 2.4GHz network and a different SSID for the 5GHz network. Sorry I will not be changing my SSID which would require reconfiguration of every device currently connected to my network. The description states that the…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Long delivery time

DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A 5GHz WIFI NETWORK!

UPDATE: I called my ISP and was able to split my 5GHz and 2.4GHz WiFi network. Once I did this I was able to use the product exactly as planned. Manufacturer Feedback: Please better advertise that the product ONLY works properly with WiFi 2.4GHz. Original message: Product is unusable for me. I bought this with high hopes of controlling my outdoor Christmas lights, but the product details don't mention that you can't connect the device to the app if you're on a 5GHz WiFi network, rendering it…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Plug and play, really easy way to control outdoor lights

I bought two of these, one for my outdoor string lights, the other for Christmas lights last winter. Although I believe this can be used with other smart systems, maybe Google Home, Alexa etc, I just downloaded and used her app (Smart Life) and she recognized the devices straight away and was able to rename them (e.g. Back Porch Lights ) and set the schedule. The planning part is not 100% intuitive, but not complicated and . I just let her go. Simply that way. No more "Did you remember to turn…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

Works on my 5.0ghz band

Bought for a range of patio lights, installation was quick and easy. Some reviews mention that you MUST have a 2.5GHz WiFi band, and this is even mentioned in printed instructions, but I connected to my Comcast XFiniti without incident using their Orbi Mesh network, which only has 1 network option (5.0 GHz) provides. Also quickly connects to Revain Alexa for added control convenience. The only downside is that the angled plug/cable made it a little tricky to plug into my outdoor weatherproof…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some small things

BUYERS BEWARE the best in stores and accessories

This product has worked great from the start. I would set the timer to auto on/off. After a few days I noticed that the light didn't go out. So I resorted to disabling it either manually or through the app. Then I noticed the lights a few hours later. This thing is out of control. I contacted the company and was told I would receive a replacement product and would return the original AFTER I received the replacement. That was October 2020. I received an email this morning (March 2021) saying…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

The second smart plug works great

It was very easy to set up to work with my other smart plugs. I was happy when my insect repellent worked as expected. Then a few hours later I looked outside and it was outside. The switch seemed to toggle on and off, but the outlet stopped working. I'm sending it back for an exchange. If the replacement works I will update my review. Update 06/10/21: Rating changed from 2 stars to 5 stars. I returned the first unit and the new unit is working great after a couple of weeks when we had a lot of

They are great, I have two so far.

Most Chinese products are now undocumented. This product is NOT the same. It has excellent documentation and works exactly as documented. Excellent work. I was also happy that it was rated for 15 amps. I have two of these with two store bought air compressors (the kind you work with air tools). Each of these compressors draws 13 amps. With these compressors running in my basement (with lines running all the way to my garage) I was concerned that the air line would break and leave the compressor

Pros
  • Electrical appliances
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Works great for my AirBnb!

Fixed an issue where AirBnB guests would turn on the patio lights and leave them on during their stay. This is a problem for me as it is such a big waste of electricity and there is no need to leave patio lights on during the day. It bothered me so much that the lights stayed on and I couldn't do anything about it. With this product you can set a timer to turn off everything connected to it. On my next visit to AirBnb, I hooked up the patio lights to this thing. Now I can manually turn off the…

Water resistance changed to WATERPROOF!

I bought two packs of these and while they are pretty sturdy on the outside I was a bit worried about the water resistance at first glance, especially as I live in beautiful Washington State where it rains more than sunny lol. My solution, of course DISASSEMBLY! :) so after further research it was clear to me that the impregnation would not be sufficient, at least for my purposes - no problem! I took a tube of clear RTV silicone and started lubricating all the seams, screws, knobs and even the…

  • Outlet Switch
Cons
