Compact Smart Plug Works with Alexa Google Assistant Smart Life App Voice Control Energy Monitoring Timer Scheduling No

At around $10 each, these smart plugs are a good deal for someone looking to add a little smarts to one of their outlets. The plugs themselves are nicely sized so as not to be overly large and cumbersome. They’re easy to pair up to the app and control via either the Alexa skill or just using the smartphone app itself (Smart Life is the app I used). I’ve had zero issues with them disconnecting from my Wi-Fi, and it connected right away to my 2.4GHz/5GHz single SSID network, meaning it didn’t have any issues connecting to just the 2.4GHz band, which is something some smart devices struggle with. These smart plugs also offer some nice features, specifically the ability to see power usage over time, which is often reserved for more expensive plugs. The only thing that would kick this up to a 6 out of 5-star rating would be Apple HomeKit integration; however, given the price, I knew that wouldn’t be realistic. Overall, zero complaints; these work well and were really easy to set up and get added to my existing smart home ecosystem. Read more

These smart plugs have been solid. They’re compact and don’t block up extra space on the outlet, which I really like. Setup was super easy using the Smart Life app, no hiccups connecting them and no issues with power once they were up and running. Everything paired quickly and worked right away. I’ve been using them for some of my Christmas decorations and they’ve been reliable the whole time. Scheduling works exactly as expected, and it’s been nice not having to think about turning things on and off manually. The small LED that shows the status is also a nice touch since you can tell at a glance whether it’s on or off. Overall, they work exactly as intended. No connection drops, no weird behavior, just simple and dependable. For a 2 pack, it’s a good value and an easy recommendation. Read more
