Energizer Connect 6 Outlet Smart Surge Protector, 1,200 Joules, Remote Access/Custom Schedules, Compatible with Alexa/Siri/Google Assistant, Low Profile Angled Plug, 3ft Cord, Connect to Your Wi-Fi

I bought this to set up automatic timers on my aquariums. I had an energizer outdoor smart outlet and the app was easy to use and worked well. However, on the power strip, setting up timers in the app is a complicated process where you have to add smart scenes. If you make a mistake while making them, you have to start completely over. That would be a minor issue if everything worked the way it should. However, the timers often fail. Recently I took a trip and everyday my phone alerted me that the automated schemes were failing. I had to wait till I got back and hope for the best. When I got back, my power strip was no longer connected to my phone, and although I tried, I haven't gotten it to reconnect again. My other power strip worked fine this time, but has had problems before. If the timers can't be relied on when I am gone and need them most, they are kind of useless. I'm thinking I'll switch to multiple individual smart outlets instead and see if that works better.

This smart power strip works exactly as I had hoped, and allows me to switch on a lamp before entering the room. I also use it to switch speakers on and off.The Energizer app is not highly polished, but who cares, it’s utilitarian and does what you need it to do. I now have my outside patio string lights on an Energizer outdoor smart plug and now this power strip inside. Controlling both in one app is convenient and fun.

Description states “6 foot braided cord.” NOT! It’s only a 3 foot cord and it’s not braided. It even says 3 foot cord on the box! Really Amazon?
