    I bought this to try with Amazon Alexa I just got on a new tablet. It was easy to setup and control with Alexa. The only drawback I have found is that Alexa can not tell if it is on or not, just blindly sends a command to turn on or off.

    These plugs are super nice because I have an iPhone and a google home and if you set them up following the instructions included, it's pretty easy to get them to work both with the google assistant and Siri. I use them to control lights.

      The iSP6 supports small home appliances up to 1800 watts which is more then sufficient for router resets and lets you run them from any Android (4.2 and higher) or iOS (iOS 9.0 and higher) smartphone. We appreciate the review. iHome

    I have three of these iHome SmartPlugs and they work great! There is a separate app for the plugs; however it does interface with SmartThings hub. Which is what I have. Once you have it setup, it works as if it was directly part of SmartThings.

    Does what it says it will do. It works with Alexa, and my Android phone so no issues there. Good to not have to wonder if I turned off the iron any longer. I can always check the status on my phone and remotely turn it off from anywhere.

    I picked up 2 of these for indoor Christmas lighting. The first one was really easy to setup. The second took a little time but once it was setup worked great! I used HomeKit to share with my girlfriend so she control them as well.

    So far this product has worked well and has not lost connection even with a power outage. On a side note, if you use HomeKit (Apple iOS) you can setup this product in the Home app and do not need the ihome control app to set it up.

      Thank you for your feedback. We value customer input. Keep in mind if you need to troubleshoot the plug in the future, you will need to set up and account through iHome Control app

    This smart plug is easy to connect to many smart home systems. I like it best because of its ease of use and when using it , because of the design, and it being compact it leaves the other plug on the outlet available for use.

    These are a little bulky but work as designed and are easy to set up. I have 4 and will purchase more. The app is able to control other smarthome devices as well which can help you create multiple IF/Then scenarios.

    Product Excellent - App Issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Smart Plug is a great concept; however, the app and the companies network is not up to snuff yet. Have had several issues with connectivity issues related to the companies Network System or current updates. This is a security problem because the plugs are used in our homes while we travel and getting back to the plug to manually reset is not an option. I would not recommend these plugs currently.
