EVA LOGIK WiFi Mini Smart Plug Socket Outlet Compatible with Alexa, Google home and IFTTT| Remote Control Your Devices from Anywhere, No Hub Required| Android/IOS, ETL and FCC Listed- 2 Pack

Bought six of these thinking they were solely dependent on your home WiFi and your Google "Home" app. The product uses a additional app called "Smart Life" to register and control/integrate with Google "Home" app. The Smart Life server frequently goes down and leaves you to manually switching on/off your outlets. I would say 97% uptime. (I know.. first-world problems right?) To their credit, firmware updates have occurred within the past year to keep the product updated & safe from hackers I guess? My only concern is for the low price of these is where the service is located and privacy issues. But in fairness, that could be with any company, brand well-known or not. I think I will try some of the IFTTT app features.

Every time you update app, you have to log back in. Doesnt let you use password manager so good luck remembering it when you need it. Once you log back in, you have to set up like new. Exhausting. Once set up, doesnt recognize any devices currently online. Even though i can see a lamp plugged into it currently working. Have t add all devices back in. which i dont know how to do. Wont recognize ones around even though there is scanning functionality. Loved these when they worked but they are such a hassle. What happened to this company???? I bought four and went all in with them and i feel ripped off

Mine started failing within two years, avoid. The shape causes two to take up three outlets on a power strip.

They work flawlessly. I have used them for several years in a remote location prone to loose power during storms and they always reconnect to wifi without issue when power comes back. I control a security camera and lamps, as well as, during winter, electric oil heaters that I can turn on and off as required when temperatures approach freezing outside. Great product, in fact I just ordered a couple more units.

it seemed like it would be easy to set up and i'm very tech savvy but for some reason it just would not connect. I have very fast interent so i'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong, contemplating returning the product will update review once husband tries to connect it

These plugs do their job. As other reviewers already mentioned, you need to install the "Smart Life" app on your phone to control the plugs, so the flow is: smart plug > Smart Life app > Google Home app. The main issue for me is that the Smart Life app as of now (May 2018) is actually quite dumb (1.0 version, might get better with time, one can hope). The only way to add a new Smart Life device, is to disconnect the app from Google Home first, then re-connect it (by typing your phone no. and pwd again). I could not find a way to add a new device without disconnecting the app first, because you cannot select a "new" service in Google Home app, if the service is already there (so maybe the stupidity is shared between Smart Life and Google Home apps). Every time you disconnect the Smart Life app, you lose any custom settings you had on Google Home, for instance name and location (room). It's best to rename the devices in the Smart Life app (before you connect it to Google Home), so at least the device name is retained.

No problem with he product perse but theyre harder to set up than promised - especially if you dont use Alexa and have to rely on the instructions or use IFTT to set up. Overall quality seems good ... a good buy if youre an Alexa household.

These are great, I have 8 of them now in my house. The app is very customizable and easy to use. Saves a lot of time and effort.

I had one given to me as a gift. Initial hook up too a bit (my fault), but after figuring the issue. Smooth sailing. I like the first one so much I had to buy a few more.

These were easy to set up and work perfectly with Alexa...
