Review on YoLink Power Strip with Alexa and Google Assistant Support, 1/4 Mile Range, Surge Protector with 4 USB Charging Ports and 4 AC Plugs for Multi Outlets - YoLink Hub Required by Alejandro Silem

I'm totally blind! The first thing I did when I took it out of the box was to grope around to see if it could be hung on the wall. Unfortunately, wall mounting is not possible. Next I check if it is designed to be used with power supplies for all 4 sockets. If the power blocks are normal sized, the answer might be. The reason I say "maybe" is because it depends on how the cord exits the PSU. If the cable comes out of the end of the stone, it's normal where the ground is (round pin)! Then yes, I think you can use all 4 connectors for this. However, if the cable comes out the side of the brick! Then NO, you cannot use all 4 plugs for this type of brick. Tried to connect 2 Gen 3 Echo Dots to sockets 1 and 2 side by side. It's not working. An attempt was made to connect a Gen 3 echo dot and a Gen 4 echo dot to the hub. In socket 1 and 2. It doesn't work again. Tried plugging 2 Gen 4 Echos into sockets 1 and 2 with a hub, it worked. For blind people like me! So that you have an idea of how it works! When you place the extension cord on a table so that the power cord comes out the right side. back up! Where do you have 4 sockets? Again left to right to the numbers, these are outlets 4, 3, 2 and then 1 connects the power cord. There is a small LED in front of each socket. Can't tell if the number is printed or not. But in my opinion, outlets should have numbers erased so that a completely blind person can feel the numbers and understand what's what. Again on the front panel above. You will find 4 USB ports with an LED to the right of them. Also at the top in the lower right corner is a button that can be pressed to connect the device to a hub if required. It also doubles as a power switch to turn it on and off. As I said, wall mounting is not possible. It is designed to be used on a table or on the floor. The splitter is connected to the internet and updated to the latest firmware. In my tests it was used with Alexa. Looks unnamed. I just stuck with the default name. The device is called Powerstrip and in the Alexa device list you will find 5 entries. Power Strip ALL and OUTLET1-4 with Power Strip written in front of them. You cannot disable/enable the USB ports on the power strip with Alexa. I hoped I could do it, but you can't. I used a light detector to turn off one of the sockets to see which LED went out so I can get an idea of how the sockets are numbered. See this information above. I then made sure all outlets were on and then told Alexa to turn outlet 1 off. At this point I wanted to see if it would retain what was last used if there is a power outage and then the power is turned back on. So outlet 1 is off, outlets 2-4 are on. I reached out and unplugged the extension cord, left it unplugged for about 30 seconds, then plugged it back in. At this point, power was not restored to any of the outlets. I had to manually press the power button. At this point, all outlets were turned on. All of my other smart plugs stay on and off after a power outage, but this power strip doesn't. For me, that's not what I expect from an extension cord. So for me no USB control with Alexa, energy settings are not retained after a power failure, no wall mounting possible, sockets are not far apart. each other. You also can't fast-charge a cellphone from USB ports.
