First, this is not the first "smart" device that I have owned. I have at least 20 other smart plugs, bulbs, and appliances connected to my home network. Most of the others took less than 5 minutes each to setup. This one doesn't even come with any instructions. It doesn't tell you how to put it into pairing mode, it doesn't tell you what the status lights mean, nothing. When the page says "package contents: switch" that is literally all that it came with. A small box containing the useless smart switch. I spent 20+ minutes trying to get this thing to work with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Nest and it failed to pair with any of them. Every other device I have in my house works with all 3 services, but this one works with none of them. I definitely do not recommend. Read more
The Matter Over Thread Smart Plug, App and Voice Control Smart Mini Outlet 15A/1800W is not a good value for my money. First of all, it is not easy to setup. You have to have a iPhone 16 or newer version and or a threaded router to get any connectivity . So please read item description good, otherwise it will not connect and or Function. I believe that the sale of a product depends on a customer's trust of that company. The seller should have honest transparency in their Amazon advertisements. That being said if you do have the proper phone or devices and threaded router, the Plug quality looks good but I do not recommend and I will not purchase again. Read more
I recently added the Matter over Thread Smart Plug to my home, and it has exceeded my expectations. Setup was straightforward, and it integrated seamlessly with my Apple devices. I love that it’s Matter-certified, so it works reliably across all my smart home platforms, even during internet outages, which gives me peace of mind knowing my system stays fully operational. The app and voice control are incredibly convenient. I can turn lights and appliances on or off with a simple tap or voice command, and managing devices remotely while away from home is a breeze. The schedule and timer function is a game-changer—my coffee maker, lights, and other appliances now run automatically on my preferred schedule, making daily routines much smoother. I also noticed that the Thread protocol keeps the plug responsive and fast, even in larger setups with multiple devices. It feels modern, reliable, and designed to make life easier. Overall, this smart plug is easy to use, highly responsive, and perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their smart home with dependable, automated control. Read more
Full disclosure, I am unable to use this device. I was not aware that "Matter Over Thread" meant that it would not work on an existing Matter setup. You absolutely must have some sort of Thread hub. Thread is the communication method. Matter is the communication type. This does not appear to use WiFi like my other Matter devices, nor does it use Zigbee. The device itself feels solid and well built. It takes up slightly more room than an outlet, so if you have an expansion strip it will block some of those ports. There is no way to rotate it. I don't think I can recommend this simply because it doesn't seem like the required hardware is that ubiquitous. If you're absolutely sure that you have a Thread border router, then this will probably work fine. Read more
I've bought other smart plugs that work with an app on my phone, but this one requires a hub. Read more
It does not work. I keep getting an error message that says, “Thread Border Router Required.“ I tried the troubleshooting steps shown on Apple‘s website, but can’t get it to work. I have an Apple TV 4K and iOS 26 on my iPhone, so I have the required hardware. What a waste… Read more
I was excited to use this smart plug as it is first time owning smart plug. Howevr, it does not work unless you have Thread Border Router as it keeps on giving error message without it. If you have that set up then this would be the one for you if not then it is no purpose getting it. Read more
Works flawlessly with my smart home setup. Setup was super quick and it’s reliable with Alexa. Great way to make lamps or small appliances smart without spending a lot. Read more
