Got these so when working nights (swing shift) we can set the game area to shut off, you use these to kill the area with Xboxes and the internet to hopefully keep them from staying up late when its there for bed time. You can use these in conjunction with their lights and have the area the kids play or whatever dim as it gets closer to bed time to serve as a visual indicator to start winding down. It was a little tough getting them set up, they turn off mid set up and if you let it time out it wont connect, simply stay close and when the outlet turns off mid connection ( little blue light goes off) turn it on again and it should connect. Had it time out over a dozen times trying all methods recommended by Geeni and found online and finally just turning it back on again before the app times out during connection fixed the issue.

It works, but when I put the wires in the back of the outlet to wire it up the screw head broke off as I was tightening it, and the threading on the second screw stripped as I was tightening it as well. (I wasn’t putting a lot of pressure on it when it broke).

It worked as it expected but USB Power is not indicated. And it is very low, it couldnt provide power for my YI Camera, it would be nice if it was indicated

Works as intended, easy to set up. One screw lost the head just tightening it, the other one lost the tread, had to weld it. you will need a deeper box because its thicker than the regular outlet. Over all is good if you have a welder.

Turn the breaker off, pull the existing install the new one and sign into your WiFi. It really is that easy!

After struggling to get a different brand of smart plug connected to my wifi, to no avail, I bought this and tried again. This was so much easier. Connection to my network was quick and straightforward. It just connected like it was supposed to. I connected this to my google home app where I manage all my smart devices, and each plug is independently controlled on/off or scheduled, though to use the schedule feature, you have to use the devices app. As with all these smart devices, this is only compatible with 2.4ghz band, so you may need to temporarily disable your networks 5ghz band to get this connected. After its connected, you can turn the 5ghz band back on.

Simple to install. More than I asked for. Each receptacle can be operated individually including the USB ports. Used Smart Home app instead of the Geeni app per the instruction. This is a bonus for my household since we have everything connected to Smart Home app. Worked well with Alexa. I am excited to see how long this smart outlet can last.

Need to connect to 2.4G, will not connect to 5.0G service.

The Geeni Smart Wi-Fi Wall Outlet is a bit of a hassle to physically install. But it works perfectly once configured using a compatible control app. It tends to be a few dollars less expensive than identical receptacle sold by the competition. That said, there are a few issues with this product that bare mentioning. The Geeni (a.k.a., MyGeeni) is simply another private-label reseller of this rather ubiquitous Chineseum-built app-managed product. Youll find this exact model sold under a variety of brand names (e.g.: Lumary, TopGreener, et al), so shop around for the best price. (Indeed, as I write this Geeni sells this receptacle--rebranded as the Current--for few dollars lower than other resellers here on Amazon.) This IoT (Internet of Things) device is managed by a handful of control apps, and its setup and configuration are straightforward with a compatible control app. I use Smart Life, and this receptacle integrates seamlessly into a Smart Life domain. I had zero difficulties adding/integrating each Geeni Current receptacle into my Smart Life domain. As this specific receptacle is rebranded by various private label entities, the following issues are typical of the device, regardless of brand. - The receptacle is only manufactured white; it is not available in any of the other standard in-wall device colors; ivory, almond, and brown. - A manual power override button resides in the middle of the receptacle that is also critical for device setup. This button is backlit by a bright blue LED. Nether the button function nor its backlight can be disabled within the control app. - Dimensionally, this receptacle is LARGE: It fills the box and leaves very little room for wires and wire connectors. If you find the receptacle does not slip fully into your existing electrical box, you must replace the box with one of sufficient volume, which is no casual exercise. It requires the use of a pigtail connection. (Simply cut three 6 conductors and fasten them appropriately to the conductors in the box with suitable-size wirenuts.) - The manufacturer includes a flimsy plastic Decora-style wall plate with included non-standard plate screws. If you choose to use your OWN Decora-style wall plate (as I did), you must increase the plate screw holes with a #35 (7/64) drill bit in order to use standard plate screws.
