Smart Plugs & Outlets

Latest review: The item did not synched with ARRIS modem/router. It concluded that the ARRIS is not communicating consistently with the smart gadget.

Latest review: These were the better looking smart light switches I've been able to come across. But even though I ordered the brown interface, it still came with the white pre-installed and I didn't get the same shade of brown. The other one was basically black.The installation went fine because I have electrical skills.The switch turns on lights a little too slowly which is a bit annoying at times when you just want the lights to turn on. They do turn off quickly though.

Latest review: Very convenient for turning off appliances and light bulbs.

Latest review: So simple and works great. The switches work great as well

Latest review: I received the outlets and installed them easily in to the boxes in my house with no problem. I was able to easily link them to the Geeni app and Alexa. The problem I had was the box was missing the faceplate screws. I figured no problem, I will grab some white faceplate screws out of my collection and put them in. Lo and behold the outlets are not tapped for standard #6 faceplate screws. I contacted Geeni and was told to return them to the place of purchase for exchange. I contacted Amazon and quickly received a new set of outlets and of course no faceplate screws. Contacted Geeni again and after being placed on hold twice was told "return them and buy them directly from us". Not going to happen. I am now going to try and find some screws that will work and paint them white. Great outlets but poor quality control at the factory as far as hardware is concerned. Great experience with the vender Tech Essentials and with Amazon but not so much with Geeni. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

Latest review: I hate getting up and walking. I am lazy. If you don't like that, well I have news for you -I walk for an hour or two each day sometimes in rain or mud and have a minimum wage job! So you know, I want to be able to chill in my own home and lazily say "hey google, fan off" and have my fan turn off or my mint-distilling aroma doohickey turn off. It's nice to know the thing actually works.Only downside for me is when there's a power outage you have to manually turn it back on by pressing the button on it. But that's like only 4 or 5 times a year I have to walk over to it so I'm not dinking the rating over something mainly caused by the power companies.You have to name each device and go through a couple apps to set things up -slight learning curve to overcome if you're new to smart home stuff but that's par for the course with these kinds of devices.Overall would strongly recommend it. At this price range the other competitors don't hold a candle given this thing does exactly what I want it to which is turn stuff on and off with my voice.

Latest review: Love it bc I can use my same app as my cameras. The only thing is that sometimes it won't let me turn one or the other side on. But I do love it when it works will buy more soon..

Latest review: I hated having to run wires to my dot and having to take up counter space. even purchased adapters to plug directly into the kitchen counter sockets but was not pretty. this solved my needs. something simple and out of the way but provided me with alexa assistant where ever i had a wall socket! got it on sale. great value and didn't need to cut holes in walls for custom installations like many people did.

Latest review: I used this plug accessory for my table light next to my bed. The required bulbs for my lamp won’t hold a hue bulb so the plug works great. Nice to turn the light on from another room when it gets dark...or if I just happen to wake up in the middle of the night.

Latest review: I ordered 3 of these to control my 3 way lamps in my living room. 2 next to couch and 1 next to recliner. I wanted to maintain the 40-100-140W settings of my LED 3 way bulbs. Setup with Sengled app was a breeze. In the Alexa app, I set the couch lights as a "Group" in Alexa so that they will both turn on at the same time (even though each is plugged into its own smart plug). Very cool!!! So, I say, "Alexa. Couch On" and both my couch lamps turn on. I say, "Alexa. Chair on" and my recliner light comes on. I will definitely be buying more if these in the future (for Christmas tree lights). Thank you!!!

Latest review: I was happy with this product I was able to use it during the holidays to automatically turn on my Christmas lights throughout the house and my Christmas tree I would definitely recommend it to anyone if they want that option, holidays

Latest review: This outdoor plug far exceeds my expectations. It works great, was easy to link with google home and is great to be able to us the 2 plugs independently. also the sunset/sunrise feature is amazing

Latest review: Is ok constantly having problem findings switch and it sucks if 2 people have the app on phone because if have to constantly keep logging in

Latest review: I have been using Insteon modules for 12 years and integrated them throughout my home. Like others I had problems with multiple failures of a variety of these modules. Believing it might be due to "dirty power," I had a whole house surge protector installed. Since then, about two years now, I haven't had a single module failure. The problem is that everyone's power is dirty, and we shouldn't have to spend a couple hundred dollars "protecting" these devices. That said, with Indigo on my Mac and Insteon modules throughout the house, including 14 of the KeyPadLincs, we have a well automated home that is controllable from anywhere without having to deal with a third party for internet access and control.

Latest review: I use this device to control power to the pump for a water/radiator heating system at our cottage. This unit is controlled by a Insteon wireless thermostat. It all worked fine for about 3 yrs. A few weeks ago the on/off module failed. It is outdoors but well sheltered from the elements, i.e., zero chance it can get wet.Rather disappointed that a $50 switch only lasted that long. It is only used perhaps for 4 months (max) out of the year when it is cold enough here in southern VA to warrant firing up this (wood fired) heating system. So after about 1 year of real use it failed. Again, worked well but failed way too soon.

Latest review: last year with an X-10 module on a older tree we had controllable time on time off but this year we got a LED christmas tree and the X10 just would not work . Got the Insteron and my wife was happy :-D

Latest review: The Geeni smart lightbulbs I recently purchased were so easy to use, kept a good WiFi connection, and were immediately accessible and responsive from the app that I thought I would try the smart plug by Geeni on the box outside my house that controls my landscape lights. I could not be happier.This plug is just as available even though it is outside as opposed to my WeMo outlet plugs that are in the same room as the router. In addition, Geeni’s app enables you to set timers to start and end when you want when the WeMo plug’s timer schedule is impossible to figure out and as far as I could see, does not have a standard timer feature that allows you to choose your times. I love this new Geeni plug and plan to order several more to replace my current WiFi plugs.

Latest review: I knew this wasn't going to be sleek but it is larger than expected. I bought it for the nightlight feature to use when I have guests in town. Unlike traditional nightlights; this looks grown up, has an outlet and integrates with my smart home system. I also like that the nightlight can be turned on/off so it isn't always on and can can also be controlled remotely. Set up was easy and instructions were clear.

Latest review: Great smart surge protector for a choice of devices!

Latest review: Used this at christmas and worked well for our tree and lights. Could turn off and on from phone& alexa and schedules.

Latest review: Installation was much easier than the last smart three way switch I installed. This switch isn't as deep and the wires off the back can go directly inside a wire nuts already existing instead of making pigtails. The wires flex easily as apposed to 12 gauge copper wire you would use with other switches. I'm going to buy another to put inside the three gang box where I installed this one and take out the other brand smart switch I installed... The other brand is taking up a lot of room the the box and making the switch plate push out because of its size. I had the wifi and Alexa working with the switch in just a few minutes? It all appears to be a good design. I can speak highly of this 3 way toogle switch... I don't know about the dimmer switch everybody complains about

Latest review: My husband is disabled so I set this plug up for his bedside lamp. It's a perfect use - he just tells Alexa to turn it on or off and never has to get out of bed in the dark and doesn't have to ask me to turn on the light. It's an adjustable bed and when you are in the incline position, you can't reach the bedside table! Could also work when away, turning on various lights at different times through the app.

Latest review: Thought the unit is the closest to the control, it has the most difficult staying online. I hoped it would fit into a recessed outlet, and it does not. It has ground, but does NOT have the wide slot for the ground, so two prong light plugs don't fit.

Latest review: I don't have many fixtures around the house that plug into the wall so I bought one double pack to try it. I have a floor lamp in the living room connected to one and LED strip lighting under the upper kitchen cabinets connected to the other. Very easy to set up with the Eufy app. Very convenient to have the lights turn on every day at 5:00pm and off at midnight. I also have them programmed to turn on very early in the morning when my Eufy robovac is working at 5:00am as the robovac can navigate better with lights on.I used to scoff at the idea of being so darn lazy that I need a device to program turning on and off lights but I actually found them very useful. For the price, it's great value. There were a few issued in the beginning with firmware updates, but Eufy resolved them quickly in follow up updates.Keep in mind, always have the fixtures on when updating firmware.

Latest review: Perfect for devices that I want to turn off by cutting the power to them remotely.

Latest review: I actually have a lot of these switches in my primary home and they work great. But I had to return the last one I bought because DO not work in a second home. The app does not allow you to add a second wifi or home. There are several ways to try to go around this issue that I found on the help blogs but I tried one of them and didn't work for me. I decided to return them and bought another brand which work as good as the Wemos. I had to download another app but since it works with Alexa also it doesn't matter much.

Latest review: Wemo’s device connectivity has been strait forward and reliable. A bit more expensive then I would like. Recommended.

Latest review: Working with electricity is always intimidating, but installation directions are easy to understand. The WEMO app is straight forward and it interfaces with the Amazon Echo. I have three and plan on buying three more for ceiling fans!

Latest review: I am using this wemo hub for three sockets and working very well. I like it.

Latest review: I used this to program my bedroom lamp to turn on brighter gradually in stages in the morning to help me wake up so my alarm does not go off repeatedly and wake up my wife. this works great through my smart things (Samsung) hub. I saved money by not getting a special lamp.

Latest review: I am not an electrician but I know a bit about electricity. For one thing, I know that, for safety, you really need a good grounded outlet. Also, you need a firm connection on all of the wires to the receptacle. I did not get a good feel on either of the above. It seems cheaply designed and made. I really struggled to get the ground wire to fit the device at all. I am not convinced that it is a good ground. The hot and neutral wires were easier but there are no terminals to wrap the wires around and no screws to tighten the connection. You just push the wires into a hole and tighten a screw to apply more pressure to the wire. I am not convinced that this is safe or reliable. If I start having flickering lights on that part of the house, this thing is going to taken out and junked. But, so far -- so good.On the good side --- it actually does work and it is nice to have an LED to indicate that the controlled outlet is ON. I paired it with my SmartThings hub and that was pretty much idiot-proof. I have only had it installed a day so I have no ideal about reliability. If it is not good, I will downgrade this review to ONE star.I thought that this would be a good outlet but I am sure that there are better choices for the money. I think that I will start using the smart outlets that simply plug in to the existing receptacle. Less hassle, possibly safer and less money.

Latest review: Works well... even in poor weather conditions. Well worth the money.

Latest review: Seems pretty stable after using it for three months now. Using two of them now for two zones, called upstairs and downstairs each driving 4 in wall speakers from one Sonos Amp. There was a clear plastic piece that needed to be removed for the switch to sit properly in the gang plate. It almost fits with it in place which just encourages you to try to do it wrong. Pay attention to the little diagrams in the directions that mention removing it.

Latest review: I have one of these plugs in every room. Very convenient to not have have to look for a USB block every time I need to charge a phone. Nice for guest as well

Latest review: Use this on a "map light". Have a large map on the wall with a light over it, plug & switch on light are not easily accessible, but with this, easy peasy. Connected to Alexa and now I just have to tell Alexa to turn on map light and don't need to worry about switch / plug location. Will be buying more, super handy, remote control via voice control product or phone app + timers, schedules all you'd expect & more. App is super easy to use.

Latest review: This Movie Night pack is amazing! I originally wanted a universal remote so I could stop having to use 3 remotes to turn on our system, but once I discovered this system it forever changed my tv watching experience!! We connected our power strip into the Eve Energy, which controls our TV, receiver and Apple TV. Instead of using 3 different remotes to turn on our system, now all I have to do is say “Hey Siri, it’s Movie Time” and BLAM! Everything turns on, including the light strip which we installed on the back of our system! I love it so much, especially because I have a 9 month old who wants to be carried all the time, which makes it hard to turn on our system easily (also, she LOVES to eat all of our remotes so it’s nice that we no longer need to keep them out). Setup was incredibly simple. All my friends who come over are super impressed by this system and actually want to get it for themselves too. This is a great addition to our Eve Family!

Latest review: I installed this myself in 30 minutes or so in order to control external lights on my house. Was pleasantly surprised that the status LED built into the switch could be configured to be lit when the switch was on or off. Allows the status LED to be either an on/off status indicator or be configured as a small night light that would allow one to find the switch in the dark.

Latest review: This is a great product. It's a little large for a plug, but it works all the time. It is a good buy.

Latest review: I have purchased 15 of these plugs. I was a fan but now have plugged them all. The major draw was the HomeKit integration. HomeKit setup was easy, except the sticker is on the bottom of the plug so you need a extension cord to set the plugs up.nd rep lugNow the issues:Weekly the plugs would loose connection. An irritant, but easy fix, just unplug and replug to get them working. This of course makes it unusable for difficult to get to areas, like attic Fans or lights. Doing this across 15 switches became a real issue. And any vacation the seemed to go bad just as yo left, leaving lights on or off at the most need time.Then the big issue was when the disconnect it bogs down HomeKit and other devices. This creates issues with other HomeKit devices like Caseta lights, and even Homepod speakers and Airplay.I removed all but 5 switches , things got better but still happened.First their support is very bad. As a network professional for 40 yrs I dug into the issues. Here is what I found.Any time there is a power outage, router reset or an internet outage these plugs go off line. Unlike other devices, the do not reconnect correctly to WIFI or HomeKit. This causes the HomeKit app lo lock up or get very sluggish as it tries to reconnect to these plugs.So, look elsewhere unless you like resetting the plugs weekly.

Latest review: Product is good, but instructions are poor. Type font is small and pictures are small thumbnails of poor quality. I cut the holes with their templates, but the assembled units did no go in. I had to enlarge the opening to fit it in. Other than that it does what it is supposed to. I have no wires visible.
