I previously purchased two of these switches and both worked fine. Bought two more and neither one would connect to wifi. Both boxes looked like they had been opened. Store may have placed bad devices back on shelf. After reading reviews on this product I am changing to a different brand

Spent two hours trying to set up one of the two I bought, and it never would work even after three factory resets. The second one I bought had the exact same issue. Will be returning in exchange for a different brand. Unsure if the problem is the insignia connect app or the actual hardware.

Bought these late 2017. First couple more than worked well with Google home. After that, plug works with app but never with Google home. If you research online, you will find many with the same experience. Purchase a other brand if you are looking for a smart plug.

I bought two of these thinking they were the inexpensive way to go..you get what you pay for. They started having problems two weeks after I bought them. The idea is great, but they need to be re-engineered. I had to reprogram them twice, and that was when I decided to bring them back for a refund.

This wa some of the worst purchases that I have made. I spent months trying to get them to work. Online help and costumer service are a joke. Best Buy was awesome and allowed me to return the two that I had purchased so I could buy another brand that worked.

Not only is this a horrible product that dosen't work, BUT INSIGNIA customer service is beyond useless.
They are not empowered to answer questions. They know nothing.
I will never NEVER buy an insignia product again.
IT is cheap for a reason!!! STAY AWAY
