Alexa Smart Plug WiFi Outlet Smart Socket Compatible with Alexa Echo Google Assistant IFTTT, Timer Remote Control Plugs, No Hub Required (3 Pack)

I have several Amazon Echo and Google Voice-capable switches and they're generally very similar and not very pretty. The thing I love about these particular units is that they are very compact, look great and simply ooze quality - you could almost mistake them for a product from Apple. They were easy to set up on my Android phone using the ubiquitous Smart Life App. A a little tip for those configuring Smart Life devices, always select the 'AP' mode in the App. This allows you to connect your phone directly to the device's WiFi connection and makes set-up a piece of cake. These work well with both Amazon and Google devices (even when using both on the same network). Recommended

UPDATE: Seller has kindly replaced all the plugs. These have now fixed th noise issue. Thank you so much. Highly recommended!!!This was a great addition to my smart home setup. Turning “dumb” devices smart for £10 each. Not bad!! Problem is the constant buzzing and hissing these plugs make, even when they’re not active (standby mode). In one week it has gone from slightly annoying to unbearable. If this wasn’t present, I’d probably buy 10 more for each socket. The size and functionality is just perfect. The app is simple and easy to use. It’s a Tuya product for those interested in a workaround for HomeKit. Can use the tuya app or smart life, both exactly the same. Going to be returning them though. Can’t bear the noise.#Tip. Add smart plug to dumb kettle. Keep kettle filled and tab in the on position. Turn off smart plug. Name the plug “kettle” and add to you’re Echo. Now ask Alexa to “turn on the kettle” and voila!

This is a really neat plug. The instructions however are almost impossible to follow due to the poor illustrations. I read the reviews to be able to pair both plugs - I had to use AP mode which is offered once you fail to pair.You have to add Smart Life to your Alexa App and control via Alexa is then possible.

This is my first product review ever!These are the steps I took to getting it to work with Google HomeI first installed "Tuya Smart" on my phone as it's more up to date compared to "Smart Life" on Android phones (They are made by the same company)On my phone I then disconnected from my routers 5Ghz mode and connected to the 2.4Ghz mode.Held down the power button on the Power Strip and connected to it with my phone and set it up.To control the individual sockets I found I had to rename each one, eg "Socket1" became "Wall unit light"Once setup I changed my phone back to 5Ghz WiFi and then connected to Google Home.On the "Home Control" Section I clicked on Add Device (Blue Circle with a white + sign) Selected "Smart Life" put in my details and it found the individual power sockets and USB banks.I found that if I didn't rename the sockets they wouldn't show up in Google Home.Now you have the option to turn on individual sockets or if you give the Power Strip name Google can turn them all on or all off.

Turned up in good time. The instructions (and it isn't just me) are very hard to read the pictures might as well not be there. Apart from that forget "Normal mode" as a way of connecting. I found pressing the button until an audible click within the unit can be heard works best - then a Smart -xxx appears on the mobiles available wifi connections. Then go through to AP mode (available from help after "normal mode" fails ) and follow the directions.. one connected the Alexa app can find them (I did one at a time to avoid confusion and renamed accordingly)Very Pleased with them, nice discreet and cost effective plugs that i can say "Alexa turn on coffee machine" or whatever - with no need of a hub.

If you have a large collection of electronic gadgets, you always run out of USB and other sockets. With this power strip I can charge 4 devices right away and a few more with my chargers plugged in. Best of all, I can remotely control my electric devices through my mobile phone. The app allows each socket to be switched on and off from wherever I am. The whole strip feels premium with a solid fused plug and surge protection. I will use it for my home server and accessories and set it up with a service called IFTTT. The package is really nice too making it an excellent gift. The cord is long enough and feels solid, unlike the dodgy 3xtention cords you buy in the supermarket. Excellent buy.

Was very sceptical as I usually find anything involving wifi to be useless, but these are great! A doddle to set up, even to a tech biff like me, literally took about a minute, and they work flawlessly every time, and have been doing so for a couple of weeks now.

Excellent, use two paired up to operate the dining room lights. one in the garage to operate a water feature in the garage and still have one to play with.
