GHome SmartMini Smart Plugs Work with Alexa and Google Home, WiFi Smart Outlet Socket Remote Control Timer Function, Only 2.4GHz Network, No Hub Required, ETL FCC Listed (4 Pack), White

Pleasantly surprised. We needed a solution to automate charging our Wireless Microphones at church. These plugs provide the convenience to turn on/off the devices remotely two hours before service, so the mics are charged before we arrive to church. We were able to add these plugs to our surge protector and then plug the chargers into the smart plugs and program their start and end times, automating when the batteries will be charged. This allows us to reduce the charging cycles, which will preserve the batteries. The ability to control the power to the devices from our phones while at work was an added bonus.

These Wi-Fi sockets are great for wirelessly controlling all kinds of things in your house. I initially bought them for controlling my Christmas lights, but after Christmas was over I decided to try using them on other appliances in the house. Now I can turn on my 3D printer and my drill press just with my voice using these sockets! These use the Gosund app, which works fine. They can also be linked with Google Home after they're set up, which is nice. You can program them through the app to turn on and off in a variety of ways including a regular daily schedule, or certain days of the week, etc.When you sync them to your network you need to make sure your phone is on a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection, they only work on that type of Wi-Fi and they use your phone to make the connection with your router and so you have to disable the 5 GHz connection on your phone (just select the forget connection in your phone's Wi-Fi settings) temporarily while you are setting them up. After they are set up you can switch your phone back to 5 Ghz WiFi if you want.Also, a note on connecting them: I found that after you plug it into the wall, even though it essentially seems to turn on immediately when you plug it in, you still need to hold down the switch on the side for 5 seconds first for it to reset itself before it will allow itself to connect with the app. After you have finished holding down the button and it has turned itself back on then the app will allow it to sync. Simply plugging the socket into the wall and it turning on automatically is not enough to allow it to sync for some reason.

Works as advertised!Set up took 2 minutes from start to confirmation of daily scheduleThank you!

Good product.I love being able to control my lights, space heater, wax warmer, etc. from my phone and with SiriOnly thing is that if you lose power, you have to go around and reconnect all the outlets. Pain in the butt but worth it

These are great for controlling lights from your phone. The best part is I can control my lights when I am away from home and setup various schedules.

I have an Ubiquiti network with many Access Points. The system works really well and I've had no issues. I have about 70 devices on a network capable of over 1000 devices.Over the last few years I purchased a few of the Gosund smart outlets. They worked very well. They require a 2.4GHz network as they won't work at the 5GHz level. That's fine. I have other wireless smart devices that are 2.4 GHz only also and they are working fine.I purchased 2 - 4 packs of the smart plugs that are now labled GHome. I have had nothing but problems.To setup, you need to first download the latest version of the app for the device. Then create or conenct a wireless network that is only 2.4GHz, not shared with a 5GHz. Connect your phone to the 2.4GHz network and then add the device once it is pluged into an outlet.Even if I try to set the device up a few feet from an access point, they usually fail at being added. I can get them to connect after many tries, but they then go "off-line" without any changes.They have all been checked for the latest firmware and have been reset to factory over and over. I have contacted support a few times and get the standard "It's your network". When I let them know I have other devices including other Gosund devices, they say things like:"A home router can only support 16-20 devices, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc."Wow, really, Thanks for the expert analysis :).I finally purchased 4 TP-link Kasa EP25's from Amazon. They all connected immediately and work perfectly on the network. I even went back and reset one GHome from each box and they both failed. There has to be some design or manufacturing defect in the new devices. Manufacturers keep reducing the quality of devices over time to make money. These are useless.Save yourself major issues and just go with the TP-Links. They are more money, but they actually work.By the way, I own an IT company that just had it's 30th anniversary. I've done this a few times, LOL.

Turn your lights on and off while on vacation! Give the impression you are home. Set up a schedule for automatic timing of lighting. Your house will be ready for you when you arrive home from work! I love these!

Super reliable and relatively inexpensive and compatible with smart life app.I use them everywhere.
