I have tried setting up this plug several times and it will not connect to the network. I had hoped to save some money and not get the wemo or other smart plug, but this one was a bust.

Had a lot of difficulty connecting this product. Every avenue I tried did not work. I could only get so far in the process and finally returned for products I had previously used and connected.

After multiple attempts of get it set up, a call to the help center indicated the app was defective. The company offered me a Best Buy gift card and were to notify me when the app was fixed.

I was unable to get it connected to the Wifi. I spent an hour on the phone with Insignia with no positive results. I have other ones from different brands and had no issues with connection.

After many wasted hours of trying to get this plug to work, it would just not budge. I was unable to connect and get it working. I ended up taking a loss and bought a different smart plug.

I plugged this in for my outdoor lights- the plug in is in a protected area. It works great to turn my landscaping lights on and off.

I loved this wifi plug, it made turning the Christmas Tree off and on way easier. I didn't have to move the tree or furniture to turn tree off and on.

I have two of these. The first everything was easy to set up. The second one was a total nightmare. I had to delete the app and reload it and reset the switch several times. Just spend the extra money and get the hue bulbs and a bridge
