Insignia™ - Wi-Fi Smart Plug - White

I ordered 2 plugs and its working great and controlled by my echo

Using it on a living room lamp as a night light. Works all the time. Nice not to have to worry about it working.

I have spent the last 2 hours setting this plug up and either one of two things happen the app will connect to the plug and say "error connectong to insognia server" or it will connect to the app and then when trying to connect the Wi-Fi it will say "failed registration".......... 2 hours of this and total frustration tried uninstalling the app still failed tried connecting to it directly still failed. Tried resetting the plug multiple times and still failed. So yeah taking this back and will never buy it again.

...and still works perfect! Easy to install and configure.

Works Perfectly integrated with four other SA-5's and a Denon Receiver!

I got this plug because it was supposed to work with Amazon's Alexa. At first, this plug did not work so great. It took up to 3 minutes for it to execute a command and I even had to reset it two times. One time it did not even do as commanded However, in the last two months, it seems to have improved a great deal. I haven't had to reset it or wait great amounts of time for a light to turn on. I suppose there have been improvements made to the software that it automatically downloaded (not sure). It also works well with the app that Insignia provides. I recently went on vacation and could tell when the lights were on in my apartment in Houston even when I was in California. Probably not the best switch, but it is worth the price you pay, especially now that it seems to be working better.

I picked up 2 of these for the holidays because I thought it would be cool to be able to tell Alexa to turn on the Christmas lights and I was right. It was an immediate hit with the family, the kids especially. It was somewhat of a struggle to get them set up though. I thought that I could use the Insignia companion app on my Note 8 or my wife's S8 Plus to get these configured and oh was I wrong. I had to use a device with an older version of Android. The device I used was a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with Android Marshmallow. I had to do a Google search to figure this out. It was somewhat of a pain. After getting them connected to my wifi with the companion app, I had to do some additional setup to get them working with Alexa. Once they were completely setup though, everything worked pretty smoothly most of the time. There was the occasional hiccup where one of the devices would lose connectivity with Alexa. A simple toggling of the power would remedy that though. Overall I am pleased with the devices especially knowing that I don't need an additional hub like Wink or SmartThings. I can use the Amazon Alexa app, Echo or Fire devices with voice remote to control my lights at home or away. Pros: Small form factor. It only occupies one outlet. Has an manual toggle switch in case you loose connectivity with Alexa or Google Home. Cost compared with similar products. Can control the devices away from home using the Alexa app. Con: Was not easy to setup. Occassionally looses connection with Alexa. (I only have Amazon devices to test with and I'm not sure whether it's the device, software, home network or Alexa).

You have to have a lot of patience to setup the smart plug. After a few resets, the wifi finally connected through the application. The device worked then; but after a while the Insignia app lost the connect with the device. Stop and restart the app and it works fine. I connected the smart plug with our Google Home and it works great. Google connected on the first attempt and has controlled the device not problem every time. For the money, it's a good plug.
