    Installation is more difficult than it needs to be. Instructions are inadequate. I have set up 2 other wifi accessories and connected them to Dot Echo without any problems but this plug is a pain in the butt.

    Not at all satisfied with this. It dropped sync several times within the first days of use, and seemed to get stuck in pairing mode (light blinking). I returned this and am looking into other options.

    I purchased a bunch of these. Over the first few weeks, I'm having about a 50% failure rate! At least one didn't work right out of the box. Returning. I suggest avoiding these Insignia smart plugs!

    I never could get it it to work- even tried exchanging it and calling for help. I finally gave up and it just sits in a basket. Thank goodness I really like the Alexa which it was bundled into.

    Bought four of these as my intro to smart home. After trying to set them up for two day and failed troubleshooting from the manufacturer I returned these and got Phillips hue instead.

    A simple setup made overly complex. Device does not maintain WIFI connection even in good signal strength set up and does not auto reconnect. An almost useless device.
