GHome Smart Power Strip 15A 2 4G WiFi Smart plugs that work with Alexa Google Home Surge Protector

Setup was straightforward and the app paired without any issues. I like being able to control each outlet individually and set schedules. It’s been solid so far with no random disconnects, which is really what matters with smart plugs. Build quality feels decent and it handles multiple devices without a problem. I’m using it to clean up cable clutter and automate a few things and it’s doing exactly what I wanted it to do. For the price, it’s a good buy and I’d definitely get another one. Read more

The Power Strip from Ghome is a well thought out and designed product that lets you control up to 6 electrical Outlets and 3 USB Ports, which consist of 2 USB type A and 1 USB type C ports. The Power Strip is compatible with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi ONLY, offers surge protection, and you can turn your devices on or off by voice or through one of the many applications that you can run from your phone or PC, such as Alexa, Gosund, and Smart Things. I also like that you can mount the device to a wall (see picture) or to the side of a desk, depending on what you have plugged into the power strip. Having the capability to turn on a set of devices made it very easy to control my home theater, so the right equipment turns on depending on the activity I am preparing to watch. For example, if I am watching my FIOS Cable TV, then I power on my FIOS Cable Box, Onkyo AVR, Panasonic TV, and it turns off my Roku and Blu-ray DVD players. By allowing you to only power on the equipment that you need to be able to watch the devices you need to use, the power strip is also saving you money and the life of your other equipment that can remain powered off. I have two minor suggestions for a future version of this power strip, but not having them does not subtract from the overall high rating that I have given to this product’s current design. The first suggestion would be to provide the capability to allow the user to be able to turn off a device, without turning off the associated power strip outlet for the device. This functionality would be very useful. For example, it would be nice to setup the time on my TV once, which will be preserved when the TV is no longer required to be on. Currently, when I tell Alexa to turn off my Panasonic TV, the outlet is turned off and the time settings in the TV are lost. I don’t know how hard it would be to implement this type of capability, but if you could do it easily, I would highly recommend you do it. The only other suggestion would be to offer the Power Strip in a metal enclosure. Read more

Great power strip and easy to use! Very functional for Christmas lights and the design is very useful! Read more

I had this plug strip for a few months and it stopped working suddenly. I reached out to GoHome Smart and let them know my situation and they sent me a brand new plug strip as a replacement. I love that it works with Google and has plenty of plugs available. Read more

Update: It keeps losing track of time or something. It's twice now in two months that it has screwed up. The first time it just wouldn't shut anything off and thia time it seems to be flipping am/pmb for specific outlets. I can't use this for my reptiles OR my plants like this. Honestly, I can't use it for anything. I'm going to contact the seller and see what they have to say about it. Very disheartened that it's buggy like this. I bought this and then didn't open it for a couple of months so I'm really glad it works so well. It's the only smart power strip with all plugs controlled individually and the ability to control the USB ports. However, the USB ports are controlled as one and that's the only let down. Would love to be able to control the USB ports separately and would really love to see an even larger smart strip to accommodate more plugs. I use these for reptile and plant setups and a couple more plugs would make it perfect. Still worthy of the 5 stars though. Read more

works awesome for my grow tent. the app is easy to use and set up outlet timer schedules even down to it working with temp and humidity levels. Read more

This smart power outlet strip has extremely useful and versatile controls: You can turn the entire strip on and off; you have individual control of each of six 110V outlets and; you have control of one USB charging group consisting of 2xUSB-A and 1xUSB-C connections. This gives a total of eight controls. The plugs are arranged perpendicular to the length of the strip allowing as opposed to their ordinary parallel arrangement. This has some advantages and some disadvantages depending upon the actual devices used. Note that power adapters designed to install the "other way" with the standard arrangement do not work as intended and wind up blocking other outlets. Setup is very easy and akin to all devices compatible with gHome. (My control system is SmartLife and it fully recognizes the device with a matching graphic.) Each controlled event can be timed in any manner you choose. The strip has considerable mass and it does not remind me of material suitable for rough (like jobsite) handling. It is said to be usable with a toaster or other high-current device. Maximum total load is 15A and it would [seem] that each outlet carries the same rating. It is said to have surge and overload protection. The only user control is the power on-off switch which doubles as a software reset when pressed and held. There is no reset or similar button visible. Power usage can be monitored on an individual outlet basis. I find two shortcomings: It lacks UL certification. It is also a small power vampire. Electromechanical relays of the sort used in this power strip generally draw about ¾ watt each so with all outlets energized it is mostly likely drawing more than 5 watts. With all circuits available a smallish section of the case gets rather warm. In full standby it is allover cool to the touch. Read more
