    It's fine, but it doesn't seem to reliably work with my Google assistant. Even going into their app 30-40% of the time has the plug flagged as unavailable when I look to turn it on or off.... It maybe a problem with the placement of the plugs vs the router location, but I've since switched a smart light to the same spot with no issues.

    Bought one at Best Buy to use for a living room light. It worked for about 3 weeks and I can’t get it to work now. It’s decently easy to set up, but a pain with an apple phone. Prior to this one dying, bought a 3 pack(nit at Best Buy) and can’t get them to even connect. I’m done going to try something else.

    Product is good especially I have a mother in law that eventhough she had monthly ss income she don’t pay rent or even share in the house. This would limit her from using the electricity.

    smarten up a lamp too dumb for a smart bulb

    The torch lamp uplighting the ceiling in the living room has a mechanical fader to turn it up or down, and a switch on the side to turn it on or off. It's at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and smart bulbs don't work in any lamp like that. This plug lets us use Alexa to turn the lamp on or off with voice commands, without having to turn and fumble for a switch. The folks can turn the lamp on or off from across the room.

    My daughter recommended getting this. I plugged my china cupboard into this plug. Set it on a routine and done. No more opening the door, reaching in, turning on. Making sure I don't knock anything over. Wonderful product. Easy to set up.

    You can connect everything that is not smart and make it work with Alexa or Google but doesn't work with apple home to control it, even though it says some of these are compatible. And have to be patient when pairing to you Internet and alexa

    I love having the smart plug mainly because I can use this as a bridge for my smart lights. Instead of paying for a bridge I can use this very affordable plug for setting up scenes & automations with my smart bulbs. I don't plug anything into it though.
