light, intelligent and also can adjust the time.

Installation was incredibly easy. There is a scan code on the box to download the app to your phone, or you can search the app store by company name. Once I got over that, all I had to do was rename each one and set the schedule.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great control with phone app

Setup through the app store was easy, but setup with Alexa doesn't work so I won't go into detail. If you want to ask Alexa to turn on the lights, TV, or coffee maker, don't buy this set of plugs. Also big, you can't plug in an air freshener and 2 won't fit in the same outlet.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

The following device takes less than a minute to register in the KMC APP and connect with Alexa. Alexa already has the ability. Enjoy

Cons
  • I'll write later

They don't connect to the app

I bought these on Prime Day and have repeatedly tried to get them to work with the other KMC smart plugs we have. These new plugins will absolutely not connect to the application. I've tried both quick mode and AP mode and they absolutely won't connect. In hotspot mode I can connect to wifi from the device but when I go back to the app I can't continue. I would like my money back for them but I missed the return window foolishly thinking they would work. Don't buy them.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Update availability

An excellent addition to the line.

I have bought their larger smart plugs and 4 socket smart plugs before and I have to say they fit the family very well. They're great for all those little spots I want to improve. I miss the statistical function of the big forks, but I've just replaced some of the old forks on appliances like the lamps and my under-table light; where I don't want to track my usage. The scheduling feature isn't lacking on these outlets either, as I can just use my Alexa to turn on or turn on new outlets as part…

  • Best

  • Some little things

No power on indicator in the Smart Life App

This product works with the Smart Life App. A major downside for me is that there is no indication that the outlet is on. The attached image shows a green light for other brands of Wi-Fi outlets, telling me they are on. The KMC socket, on the other hand, shows no sign of being turned on unless you select the socket separately. Huge tasks. For offline work, it works perfectly. But the inability to use additional features of the Smart Life app lowers their rating. There are 7 different brands of…

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • High Price

DOES NOT WORK WITH ALEXA VOICE COMMANDS!

I have bought several of these sockets and installed them throughout the house. Pros: Very easy to set up, works well with the Alexa app, easy timers to set. Cons: Doesn't work with Alexa voice commands. To use them with Alexa, you need to go to the Alexa app and turn them on manually. If you try to ask Alexa to turn it on, you get the message "This device doesn't support voice commands". The description is a bit misleading. Yes, it works with Alexa, but only with the app. You can't tell Alexa…

Pros
  • Sockets and Accessories
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

It's great, but use another app! Read below.

I set them up first using the KMC Smart app recommended in the instructions. It worked, but it was just fine. I was actually reading these reviews to find out how to get my Apple Watch to control outlets and came across a comment about using a different app. Download Yu Jiang's "Smart Life - Smart Living" app from the Apple App Store. It's very similar, but gives you the ability to add widgets to your phone and Apple Watch for quick management without opening the app. That's incredible. Google…

Pros
  • Electric
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
