Govee Smart Plug 15A, WiFi Bluetooth Outlets 4 Pack Work with Alexa and Google Assistant, WiFi Plugs with Multiple Timers, Govee Home APP Group Control Remotely, No Hub Required, ETL&FCC Certified

I first of all really like this plug. I set it up to be on a timer for my koi pond to turn on the large waterfall during the day and off at night since it uses a lot of power pumping 10,000 gallons of water a hour. Great for saving electricity and pretty awesome that I can turn it on and off from anywhere.

I have another brand of these plugs that were just a super pain to get going. These ones were much smoother. You do have to download their app, but install was simple and fast after that. They work great with Alexa! I use mine for lights, and with the Alexa app you can change them from being recognized as a light instead of a plug. (You can do that for any smart plug.) They do add extra space for regular shaped outlets, so you can use both outlets at once! I will definitely buy more

Received as advertised and as scheduled

I purchased several Govee Bluetooth lightbulbs, and use them around my house. They are fantastic, offer many options, and best of all, I dont need to worry about wasting my limited bandwidth on yet another smart device, since many devices are currently connected to my router. I have older appliances that I would love to also control via the Govee App, so I purchased a 2 pack of these, hoping to consolidate multiple devices onto one app. The ad description says that these smart plugs work via WiFi and Bluetooth. I purchased them believing that I had an option of one or the other. Not the case. These ONLY work with WiFi. Bluetooth is only used ONCE, to connect them in the pairing process. There were a myriad of problems, resulting in me throwing away 3 in the trash, and keeping only 1, so brace yourself. Firstly, it needs a 2.4 ghz connection, which was a nuisance to activate on my router, since everything I have connected to it uses 5 ghz. Once I did that, I followed the instructions, and the red light on the Govee device NEVER turned blue. I restarted my router, made sure the settings were correct, and still nothing. I used a friends WiFi hotspot, set to 2.4, to see if that would work, and nothing. I decided to contact Govees Help Center, via the app. The rep was courteous, and did what he could to help, but he troubleshooted with me the exact same steps I had already performed, and still nothing. I was shocked, and thankful when he offered to send me two more, free of charge. When the two new ones arrived, the first one I took out of the box worked! The light turned blue, and I am still currently using it. I took the second one out the box, and it too decided to fail me, like the original ones I purchased. Thats 3 out of 4 that do not function. A 75% failure rate, is enough to tell me that these things are not worth buying. The one that I use, does function, but it doesnt use bluetooth to do it. Ive tested turning a device on and off, with bluetooth on my phone switched off, and it functions, proving that the process is entirely done through WiFi. For the record, WiFi is faster than Bluetooth. The Govee Lightbulb takes 3-5 seconds to connect on my phone, that has Bluetooth 5.0. The WiFi plug takes barely 1 second, which is amazing. The difference? When I recently moved, I was using my Govee Bluetooth bulbs BEFORE I even had my ISP connect Internet to my new address. I also took one of my Govee Bluetooth bulbs to my brothers house, for a party he had, and it worked, without having to pair it to his network. Too many smart devices rely solely on WiFi, and dont utilize Bluetooth enough. Not to mention how unreliable pairing these devices can be. I was willing to deal with the plugs being WiFi, despite being misled in the description. With 75% of the ones I tried, failing, and 100% of the Govee Bulbs that Ive purchased working, I can only wonder if my concerns are just.

Moved and needed lamps instead of over head light. Alexa turn on the living room, and it works.

Like other Govee products, these work with ease. I knocked off two stars to get Govee‘s attention. The thing that these plugs lack are the ability to give a location to each plug. My attached picture is a screenshot of my Kasa smart plugs. As you can see, I can name the device and give it a location (i.e. Christmas Light, Front door). It’s important because all three outlets for me are Christmas lights but on Kasa’s app I can see where those plugs are and Govee’s I cannot. I would assume this is a simple fix via app update but I don’t know. Hopefully they will reach out to me and let me know. As of know I prefer Kasa Smart Plugs for that feature.

These are ideal for automating devices or lights that arent set up specifically for use with a home assistant. Unlike some other smart plugs Ive tried to use in the past, like all of their lighting products the Govee plugs are easy to set up and configure and work seamlessly with their app. Definitely recommend these.

These things are awesome, inexpensive, & super easy to set up. I have this one turning on my coffee percolator.

I like that I can have Alexa turn on off my lamps daily

The units are easy to install and sync. The work as expected. However, setting up programmed timing on and off on the app isnt my favorite. I did it successfully, but after some trial and error. The device is fine, the app is only objection.
