This was pretty simple to activate with my new Google Mini to verbally turn on and off a floor lamp. Good price and reliable, I like.

Setup is not intuitive. You need to follow the directions exactly. ;-) Does work as advertised with the Insignia app and Alexa/Echo.

At first I wasn't sure if this was worth the purchase. I've been using it for 3 weeks and I've had no issues with it. Works great

The 1 Thing you need to know

No matter what the description says about "voice compatible", "smart device", etc., it's wrong. This thing is dumb as a mud-fence. With the Insignia Connect app, you can turn this switch on and off and you can set it to come on automatically at certain days/times. But if you're thinking about using this with a Google Home Assistant, Samsung Smartthings Hub or Alexa, don't waste your time. It cannot be done. Oh yes, I know there are all kinds of apps, logins, connections, etc., that include links to Insignia Connect. But no. just no. That's the word from someone who tried for a week and in consult with Samsung and Google experts.

This is a great way of adding more appliances to the smart home experience without having to purchase extra lighting at that time

Trouble trying to setup with wi-fi and getting to work. Finally got it working, but would not work every time for what was plugged in, nor could I get it connected to google assistant like the specifications said would work.

This unit does not connect to your WiFi, not it will work with the Wink system as advertised. It won't even connect to it's own app via 2.4 not 5.0 Ghz.
Basically a waste of time.

Great WiFi Plug

Bought this item not too long ago, and I'm really enjoying it. The only downside would be that the app doesn't always work right away. It sometimes takes up to 10 seconds before there's any response from the switch at all. It also makes a bit of a tick noise when it first comes on. Other than that, it's a great product and definitely helps out if you're away for vacation and want a light on, and the scheduling feature is amazing!

Good Switch Added to the Market

I use other brand wi-fi switches and thought I'd try the new Insignia brand entry in market. It seems to be as good as others that may cost more. For these switches, the app is as important as the hardware and the Insignia app seems to be well written and works well. Some such apps are terrible. It's good that best Buy had a really good app developed.
