Mini Smart Plug, BRIGHTWORLD Home Electrical Timing Outlet, Compatible with Amazon Alexa Echo and Google Assistant,No Hub Required, Remote Control Your Devices from Anywhere, White Color, 2 Pack

So far no issues or problems but we've not owned it for that long therefore I cannot give 5 stars yet, but would give it 4.5 if I could. The setup is not complicated nor hard, just takes a bit to do the wireless setup, add an Alexa skill, and then add schedules (of which there are many). Only using one device for a lamp we used to have on a timer that is in a corner behind furniture making it difficult to manually turn on or off. Plus time change is another thing to manually have to change on the timer. This may have eliminated all this quickly and easily (bought it after time change) with low cost and much better control. We do have an Echo so we can turn the light on and off at will using voice commands plus this does not override any automatic settings we have set. As mentioned options are numerous including grouping devices together (I have two plugs) and being able to turn on and off things when away from home thru the app is cool. They are also immune to power outages as far as lost time, we lost power after I bought this and we did not have to do anything because of it, nice! Wireless seems to be fine so far, we have not lost connection and the light has not failed to turn on or off as expected. I can't compare to other products but this is doing what I wanted, exactly how I wanted, and as easily as I wanted. Time will tell but very happy with the product so far, I bought two because I had never tried these types before but wanted to be able to do more than one at a time if I wanted (grouping). Now that I know, if you have multiple devices to control like this (remember this is a 10A and 2200W limited plug) I highly recommend them. I have even started to look into outdoor WiFi plugs for Christmas lights as we have another manual timer to replace (and manually set times and watch out for power outages). :-)

Manual says that red indicator lights indicate power on. These have no red indicator lights, they only flash blue, which, according to the manual, means that the network connection is "abnormal". Not sure what they are trying to say by abnormal, but my network connection is quite normal.Also, manual is useless--seems to have lost a lot in translation. Also, each page is 1.5" by 2.5", with screen shots that even if you magnify you can't see.Funny that the front of the manual says Smart. I am surprised Amazon would market this junk on their site.

Simple to use and compatible with google home. Great use for simple applications like the bedroom lamp that the Ms turns on and then forgets to turn off then goes and asks you to turn it off while you're already comfy in bed. No more problems! just pull up my phone and shut it off :)

Set up using the SmartLife app took at most 2 minutes. It was quick and painless.The only gripe I have with the plugs is that they're slightly bulky. It makes it difficult, even impossible in some cases, for the electrical outlets above and below the smart plug to be used.

I set this up on my Alexa and the Smart life app in less than 10 minutes start to finish. I often ask Alexa turn on bedroom light, and Alexa would respond "ok" everytime. Everything works great, and I have had this for about few days and recommend it.

Just got these today and they work flawlessly. I needed a couple more smart plugs for my Christmas decorations and these did the trick. I already have Smart Life compatible plugs, so I had these set up in literally two minutes. You can't beat them for the $15 price. Definitely recommend.

I use one to tell Alexa to turn on my computer with several monitors and works great. Was able to add these to the Smart Life app to connect all of my smart device to Alexa instead of trying to install 5 different apps on my iPhone.

I never could get this product to work for me. It always says I’m. It close enough to the WiFi even when I’m sitting next to the box
