Amazing
Works great! Installation was a little tricky for me but I did get it done pretty easily once I got the wires where they needed to be. It connected really quickly to my Alexa and WiFi. It was a little bigger in size than the outlet I changed it out with but I got it to fit. The control and turn off option on the phone is awesome and easy to set up.

Great replacement!
I use this to power my landscape lighting transformer. Previous to this I used a smartplug to run the scheduled on-off. The existing outlet on my small entryway didn’t have a rain enclosure and by using a smartplug there wasn’t enough room install one. While rain hasn’t caused an issue yet, I was always concerned. Sometimes the rain would blow into the entryway. This resolved that issue by being able to remove the smartplug and installing this in-wall outlet. Installation was easy (just make sure you flip the circuit breaker) and I used the ENERLITES Extra-Duty Weatherproof Enclosure, also from Amazon, to protect if from the rain.The plug connected instantly to the Amazon app and my wi-fi, and hasn’t had any connection issues even though it’s outside and essentially encased in the brick wall of my home. I changed my routine to use this outlet and everything works as I hoped for. It’s now been raining for several days and no problems. Very pleased.

Smart outlet, smart idea
The outlet wired easily and worked seamlessly with Alexa once installed . I have new glass door cabinets in my kitchen, which I am crazy in love with, but the old electrical setup only provided an outlet inside the cupboards, with no switch to operate. Since the upper cabinets are nine feet off the ground having no switch made the lighting virtually inoperable until we got this smart plug. Now I have beautifully lit upper kitchen cabinets to showcase my pretty colored glass dishes, and all I have to do is tell Alexa to turn the lights on or off. BTW, there is an on/off button built right into the plug if it is needed, but for me, simply having the voice control allows my tall uppers to be beautifully and conveniently lit. LOVE IT!

Works Perfectly.
Works perfectly. It is a tru 2 smart outlets in one, can be controlled independently from each other and very easy to connect to Alexa app.

Works well
I bought this smart in-wall outlet to replace my second z-wave outdoor switch that had failed. Installed this in the weather proof box outside for my cafe lights. Set up was simple since it was already in the Alexa app and set automations to be controlled with the rest of my outdoor lights. Happy with this purchase but not sure of longevity in an outdoor application, will update if it doesnât last.

2nd one now, rarely works with routines
Purchased one a year back, install was fairly easy. Connecting it to Alexa wasnât too bad, but itâs regularly unresponsive. About 90% of the time⦠I usually have to use the button on the outlet to activate the circuit.Fast forward to a year later and figured Iâd try it again⦠but Iâm having the same issues. This time it always shows actively connected, and if I use Alexa to control it it seems to work. But trying to schedule Routines to set it as a timer it is very unreliable. Not sure what the issue is. Even programming multiple times to have it do the same thing every few minutes it fails about 90% of the time (even though the routine processes). Itâs too bad it doesnât verify if it worked, and try again if it failed. Time to give up on this brand.

Justo lo que buscaba, un enchufe que fuera montado dentro de la pared, no tuve que hacer nada para vincularlo a mi cuenta de Alexa, en cuanto subà el switch de la corriente se vinculó en automático, tardo un par de minutos parpadeando uno de los leds verdes y en cuanto recibà la notificación en la app de que se habÃan agregado 2 dispositivos nuevos, dejo de parpadear.No tuve que cambiar mi cuenta de paÃs, estando en México mi cuenta se configuró el enchufe solo.No sé si tenga que ver que cuando lo estaba comprando, me apareció una opción que acepte de vincularlo a mi cuenta de Alexa para una configuración rápida.

Me encanto

Me funcionó cambiar mi cuenta a EEUU para configurar por primera vez el dispositivo y agregarlo.Una vez que ya aparece en tu cuenta puedes cambiarlo a tu paÃs y editar lo que desees sin problema. Espero les funcione. A mi me funciono al 100%

Noviembre 2024: El tomacorriente no se puede conectar a Alexa, no funciona el QR ni la vinculación Manual. Probé todo (cableado correcto – linea,neutro,tierra; red 2.4GHz; reseteo de fábrica; cambiar de red wifi, etc..) y nada funcionó. Luego vi algunos comentarios de México que decÃa que no funcionaba aquÃ.

Siendo Noviembre 2024, no tuve problemas para usarlo en México. Se puede controlar con voz en español con cualquier Alexa, o bien desde la app de Alexa. Fácil de instalar porque viene etiquetado con fase, tierra y neutro.Sólo no le pungo cuatro estrellas porque no tiene muchas funcionalidades por defecto. Sólo prender y apagar cada uno de los tomacorrientes. Si quieres timers, apagado automático y demás, debes configurar tus propias rutinas.
