I tried using three of these plugs in my house for a full month before I gave up and returned them. They stopped connecting to my WiFi network one day so I had to figure out how to get them going again. After about a week, it happened again, this time affecting only one of the three. I removed them from the network, did a factory reset and then attempted to get them reconnected. Wouldn’t work. I tried everything, including deleting my Insignia app and reinstalling it from scratch. Still wouldn’t work! So I returned them and switched to the more expensive Belkin Wemo smart plugs. Two months in and I have had zero problems with the Wemo system. Do not waste your time on money with these Insignia plugs!

It is a cheap alternative than buying smart appliances or expensive smart bulbs, its easy to setup and needs no hub so will connect directly to the phone and useful with google assistant or amazon echo.

After a few weeks and even after upgrading to a Velop wifi system, this plug likes to randomly disconnect. Before it happened because I had a garbage network but now after upgrading to Velop everything saw connection problems disappear, except this little plug. Had to do a factory reset on it tonight, not what I want from a brand new piece of tech. Gonna try the Wemo and see if it's any better

We were going to be going on a very long vacation and wanted to setup some light sequences that made it appear that we were out of town. While we could have purchased similar products through our alarm company, I wanted something that was not proprietary and something simple. In comes this smart plug. It is simple and very effective. It has a green glow light that you can configure to be on/off. The Wu-finreception in our house is very strong so I cannot speak to how they perform with weak signals. The app was intuitive and we were up and running in about 15 minutes from box open to finishing all the schedules we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to those that want manual or scheduled wall plug capability.

Really enjoy using this Wi-Fi plug with my alexa spot. Easy to set up and super nice to have the convenience of hands free access to turn on lights when entering my house at night.

I purchased it to replace my timer. Works great and if I need to turn it on or off other than the preset time, I just tell my Alexa. I don't have to fumble with my mechanical timers anymore.

Bought two to use with my Google home mini. Have them set up with my Christmas trees right now. It is so easy to turn them on and off with my voice using the Google home or on my phone with the app.

I had originally purchased one plug to test and it worked so well, I grabbed some more when I saw that they were 10 bucks off. They integrate nicely with my Google Home and function as they should.

My previous wall plug timer died. I was looking for a replacement. I saw this smart plug on sale at the local Best Buy Store on Black Friday. Bought it and set it up without issues. It has been working fine.

Bought it to control my Christmas tree with Amazon Echo (Alexa) and it works great all the time. Only feature that might come in handy will be to mesure watts used other than that it’s a great plug

Works well directly with Google home. Missing functionality with IFTTT however.
