TOPGREENER Smart Mini Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring, Mini Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, TGWF115PQM, 4-Pack

I typically dont write reviews, but this is the worst item that I have purchased on Amazon. The 1st one would not hook up to the internet. The second one finally connected to the internet but continually shuts off after 2 minutes even though I have the timer set for 15 minutes. Dont waste your money on these power monitors.

— Edit Was able to get the others working - still not a fan of Chinese data collection devices, but we sell our souls (data) for the sake of convenience. — Original Two issues I had with this. 1) I could only get 1 of the 4 devices to connect. The other 3 are useless. So that’s a dealbreaker to begin with. Money wasted, hours lost. 2) I have to give this device my WiFi info (understandable) AND location data all the time just to get it to work (ridiculous). I understand that certain features might require location data, but I only need it to tell me how much electricity is running through it. A Chinese (spyware?) device that collects way more data than necessary worries me.

I have a dehumidifier in my basement and I was searching for a plug that I could monitor remotely to see if it was running or not. I didnt need the ability to remotely switch on or off (which this does, as does hundreds of other plugs), but specifically needed something to tell me if power was running to the unit (meaning it was on and doing its job). Out of the box, this unit worked perfectly and was super easy to install/download the app. Its been flawless for months now and I finally figured out what was turning off my dehumidifier... it was set to a certain percentage, and when reached, it would shut off. But the problem was that it never turned back on when humidity rose. With this smart plug, I was first able to recognize that no power was running through it, and then was able to turn it on (which I never thought I would use!). Worked perfectly. Hoping this helps someone who has a similar use case as its pretty narrow since it doesnt really use all the features of a normal smart plug.

What I like most about these WiFi enabled smart electrical plugs is that it has all the features that the others have, plus what I really need is to be able to monitor your energy usage. Very helpful when trying to determine if an appliance is starting to go bad, when you see the energy use increases.

At a time when several vendors of smart plugs and switches are locking down their firmware, TopGreener still allows reflashing with Tasmota which made it easy to integrate into my Home Assistant system. The tasmota template is the same as their TGWF115APM and I have submitted it for inclusion. The size and shape allows two of them to be plugged into the same outlet. Im not going to use it with Alexa so I couldnt comment on that feature and I dont know why Amazon is asking me to rate the warmth of the product :-)

Nice solid plugs that still work with Tuya Convert for OTA flashing of Tasmota firmware as of 07/01/2021. They are a bit big, but two do fit in a duplex receptacle perfectly. I bought the 4-pack that came as 2/2-packs

Ive owned these for about a year now and theyve been great. Its not the most advanced meter in the world, but the price was right. I did have trouble resetting it. I had to switch the app pairing mode to AP, then press and hold the button for 5 seconds, release (LED should flash rapidly). Then, press and hold for another 5 seconds which will put it in AP mode, the LED should flash slowly. At this point you can connect your phones Wi-Fi to the plug and finish adding it in the app.

I got these for energy monitoring some appliances. My biggest gripe is that they default to off after a power outage, you have to keep an eye on it if using one on a fridge.

Ok, at this price point I wasnt overly hopeful it was going to be a great product. I had an issue with Drone batteries. Its not good to keep them on a charger, and after a set amount of days they are programed to discharge by design. When you lose 4 of them due to sitting on a charger @ $250 bucks each.... Yes, you need to find a solution quickly. Im a first responder and we use drones in some scenarios. I need the batteries charged, but I cant leave them on the charger. Also cant allow them to die when I need them charged. So I tried this product and thought Ill just set a schedule. You can set it to turn on at a set day, and charge for however long you need. It also sends a message stating it started as well finished. I took the other one and turn my lights on and off with it (attached to google home). I have to say bang for the buck is amazing. I have seen no issue with mine. I can control on and off site. When I get an alert we need the drone, I can just manually turn on charger to top them off. And when not needed it cycles the batteries once a week making it a perfect solution. I love it ! Going to get another set for sure.

I got these before they upgraded and made smaller outlet devices but these were perfectly fine. I use these to monitor the electricity usage for my air conditioners and in the winter time for the space heaters. This way I know exactly how much electricity the air conditioners and space heaters are using and I can estimate my bill. I could also use them to monitor and reduce the amount of electricity Im using. Simply by turning the air conditioner up or the space heater down youll notice a big change in the amount of electricity used and the amount you have to pay simply by having this little device at home.
