Easy set up with Alexa. Extended my Smart Things in controlling lamps without getting out of bed to turn off lamps. It is also a plus when traveling because you can program the lamps when to turn on or off via Smart Things hub.

I wanted to have an outlet that can control devices in hard to access locations, so that I do not have to move these devices in order to switch power on or off. This smart plug does the job. I am happy with it.

Worked perfectly for Christmas lights this year. I have repurposed it inside for a lamp to turn on and off at night so a single light is in when coming home.

Works great for out night stand lights which are just out of reach. Perfect for lamps and lighting where you may not have easy access. Easy to install we use them with echo dots and show.

We had to leave a party one night because we forgot to leave a light on for the dog. Bought a smart plug the next day & never have to worry again. Very simple setup, connects to my galaxy thru smart things app.

Bought it to use as a timer for the Christmas light and I didn't have any issues with turning the lights off and on. I just set the automation in smartthings and had no issues.

I have this connected to 2 lamps and to a smart things hub. It is also set up in a routine for Alexa. It has worked great for us. I am getting ready to add 2 more, so hopefully they work just as well!

Rarely does something work as simply as described. But this was plug in, scan the code, and start using! I use it as security feature - turn the lamp on and off. The programming is easy.

Bought this Smart Plug as an accessory to my new SmartThings Hub. I can now turn on and off my Lights remotely, and even check the Status to see if I left a Light on by Accident. Install was a breeze!

Purchased this smart plug to control Christmas tree lights. Install on my Samsung phone was easy (much better than WEMO). Wish the app had a date function.

Bought these for my mom's place so she can control the lighting from her phone. So easy and convenient to use. It can get pricy if you set up your entire home but it's worth it.

Didn't know where to start looking with these kinds of plugs. Glad I bought this one! Very simple to pair with SmartThings. Once you pair, it's simple as can be to program your devices.
