When my old manual timer that I used at my massage office to turn on my towel warmer finally died , I looked into getting one that worked remotely. For under $10 . FRANKEVER Mini Smart Plug, works perfectly! Now As long as I already have wet towels in the warmer, all I have to do is open the App on my phone and press the start button and voila, hot towels for my loyal customers. There’s even a schedule that you can set up for use. Hey, it’s just made my life a whole lot simpler. No more extra trips to the office, wasting time and gas. One con is the instructions are micro minuscule. ( Think Apple I-phone) So some sort of magnifying device is needed to read instructions. Once over the hurdle, it works wonderfully! Read more
this still works fine and I can control it from anywhere in the world. Uses 2.4 WiFi. Read more
This product was great...at first. It was easy to set up and I liked being able to control it from my phone and set recurring timers. However, about two months in I noticed some flickering (I had my grow lights plugged into it), and then I noticed it didn't always turn on when it was set to do so, and over the following days it stopped responding reliably to the app, and then tonight it started this constant low volume high-pitched whine and would no longer pair with my device (I did a lot of troubleshooting to no avail). I am disappointed, since the reviews suggested this was a good product and I thought it would last a few years at least. Read more
I recently bought a new Rocket Appartamento espresso machine. My machine takes about 20 to 30 minutes to warm up. One of the coolest features about this smart plug is that you can set it to a schedule. I set mine to turn on half an hour before I wake up every day so that when I get out of bed, my coffee machine is ready to go. It’s super easy to use, but it was somewhat difficult to connect. The first time it connected perfectly. But then I unplugged it, and I moved it to a different room, it was very difficult to figure out. I had to watch several YouTube videos to get it connected again. That’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars. Now that it’s connected, I absolutely love it! Read more
works great. As cheap as a timer and you can turn lights/radio on/off when you are away from home for security. I paired it with my echo dot, can vocally turn on the light when I come home at night. Read more
These work great with Alexa! I have two plugs so far. It is a bit tricky to set up using Smartlife but once you get the hang of it it is solid. A great feature is that the device also has time-clock capability. You can schedule on and off times (or just one) so if you forget to turn something on or off, you are covered. The instructions are typically poor and need to be translated into workable English; but if you download SmartLife on your wifi phone it will automatically discover the plug and then you can name it anything you want for Alexa.

Never got it to work with Alexa. Shows up in Alexa devices. Works by remote control on my phone. Really wanted it to work with Alexa. But, the remote control and timer works. And I wanted it for xmas tree lights. So that's good enough, and its cheap so bought another for a 2nd tree. But it does not work with Alexa and there is no technical support. Read more
