A well made design to control lights and more. The only downfall is the app which requires you to log into your bestbuy account and requires patience to setup.

What a great alternative to an expensive name brand product that does exactly the same thing! I used this with a power strip for Christmas lights and decorations. After downloading and setting up the automatic timer, didn't have to worry about getting behind the tree to plug in or unplug... and you can turn off/on anywhere in the world from your phone! Using it now with a light in a window to turn on and off randomly (making it look like I'm home Get this if you want to keep your home connected!

Inadequate Instructions

I was looking for something inexpensive to control a couple of lights in my home. I wanted to be able to control them for security and safety reasons. I had had a good experience with Insignia products previously, so I decided to try their WiFi Smart Plug. It is a little bit bigger than some of the others such as Belkin. It works well and I have not had some of the difficulties that other reviewers have mentioned. However, I believe the instructions included with the device are totally inadequate. I had to work with apps and Smart Plug several times before I was able to set it. I did eventually purchase a second Smart Plug. Had difficulty with that also. There are no illustrations or diagrams to make the process simpler. When I asked for assistance it was marginal and I had to wait several days. The product works, so I would recommend it in that sense. However, unless you want to play around with it for awhile, it can be frustrating.

These are good outlets but you will have to have some patience while setting up. Now they work fine and I can easily turn them on/off with my Google Mini.

It does what its supposed to and turns the switch/power on and off. Just disspointed in having to install ANOTHER app in order to access. I have a SmartThings home networking system and it is not compatable, so control has to be connected through Alexa instead.
