Wyze Plug, 2.4GHz WiFi Smart Plug, Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, No Hub Required, Four-Pack, White

youd have to jam your device into this plug. besides that, everything else works fine.

I could not update firmware and once the device was listed on the Wyze app it didnt work. Even after adding to the google home app it didnt do anything. The device did show in the wyze app (without an ip address) and did show on google home but neither app would control anything. I did find the issue and it was my wifi security setup. Solution: Thought Id let you know that if you use access control on your router like I do that you have to add the device to the network first then restart the device before trying to pair. Problem: I allowed the device (2 of them) on my network when I got to the network signin step on the Wyze app add a device and it never added the ip address to the wyze app (so no firmware update) though the device did show on my network. Hopefully this will help anyone else who uses access control on their wifi router.

The Amazon Alexa designation of Certified for Humans (CfH) is very important -- but this item does NOT meet the CfH standard and the CfH designation should be removed from the product description! CfH is great for two reasons: -- electric items that truly have this designation are (very) easy to add-on to Alexa via a 3-step process with no requirement to add a new app. But, perhaps more important, the architecture of CfH is simple, making for better performance and easier maintenance. If your intent is to use an item with Alexa, get a smart plug with CfH. With CfH the smart plug talks directly to the Alexa Echo. Without CfH an item must be registered to its own app -- in this case you have to install the Wyse App, create an account, install and test the plug with Wyse, and then bind the Wyse smart plug to your Alexa account. Later, when you use Alexa to Turn on the Plug -- the command must go to Alexa, then to the Wyse Cloud, then back to Alexa, and (finally) the command is sent to your plug. Not only does this add a delay to the execution of the command, but it also creates dependencies, and opportunities for failures. And, in the future, if you move or get a new modem or router, it will be much harder to re-configure a non-CfH smart Plug.

We have quite a few Wyze cams and when we recently needed a smart plug, we opted for these. They work well and have a nice scheduling feature. We run lamps and use them to remote restart network connection equipment at an offsite facility. The biggest problem is they are near impossible to update consistently. Weve had this issue with other Wyze devices too. If they are at one location with Spectrum internet NONE will ever update. No matter what you do. Bring them to the main location, reset them, attach to AT&T Fiber here, and they update. Take them to a different location with Spectrum and they also work. Take them to another and nope. So, weve had to constantly take all devices needing updates to specific locations to update. PAINFUL.

My living room has two lamps for its primary lighting since it is not wired to any overheads. I was tired of always shuffling to each side of the couch and cranking each one to turn the lights on before sitting down. Most people have a switch wired to overhead lighting but I am unfortunately not one of those people. My solution to this first world inconvenience was to purchase these plugs in conjunction with a Google home mini for controlling both lamps. The plugs work flawlessly for my needs and I havent had any connectivity issues since setting this system up. My google home is a bit slow for voice recognition but as soon as the signal goes through, the plugs switch on power simultaneously and shed glorious light on my little room. Very pleased with my purchase!

These plugs work great. I bought four and three worked great. Had a problem with one but customer support took care and sent me a new one. I use them for lighting all over the house. Especially like the schedule feature. Very powerful and flexible.

Tried these because they are about half the price of most competing smart timers. They work most of the time. The app is clunky and not intuitive. Firmware updates quickly upon initialization and the app finds the devices well (more than can be said of some smart home products) but it sometimes fails to turn on or off. And when I try to manually turn on or off a device, it won’t let me. Instead, the digital slider button will flip and then immediately flip back. But I have continued to order and use them on my house plant lights because they don’t tick like manual timers, cost just the same and work *most* of the time.

Love these things. Added a bunch to my smart home network and they work perfectly. Sometimes they can be hard to pair up but thats usually app related. Once paired up, they work excellently with both Google Home and Alexa. On/off functionality is awesome to have around the house for lights and devices. Get you some!

I have a number of wyze products already so, for me, it was super easy to connect these plugs to my wifi and get them working. At most, 1 minute per plug. The key, of course, is the program while they are closer to the router and then move them to their final destination. And, unlike many other plugs that are 10-amp, these wyze plugs are 15-amp plugs which gives me a little more versatility as to what i can plug into the outlet. These plugs are smaller than some other wifi-plugs but still not small enough where i can stack one above the other on the same wall outlet. The integration with alexa has worked seamlessly, and i can easily turn these wifi plugs off and on just using verbal commands. All-in-all, very nice wifi plugs that I will get quite a bit of use out of.

The Wyze software sucks. Every time I set up a new plug the firmware needs to be updated before it can be used and I would have to do the update process many times before it stops failing to update. The whole process was very frustrating. I integrate it with google home and the integration process sucks too. Logging into wyze through the google home app, it would not recognize my password and I have to reset it. Once synced, it usually works fine but once in a long while, it will become not accessible through google home and need to be resynced with Wyze account again and usually it wont recognize my Wyze password again and I have to reset it. I only use a few smart plugs and lights. I wonder if it is really worth the trouble to set up a real smart home considering the hassle I went though with just these.
