Works well for me.
The power strip works great. I am using it to control the heater, pump, and lights on a small fish tank. I have it paired to Alexa, each outlet showed up as an individual device so it's very easy to manage / pair each outlet to specific device groups or automations. All of the USB ports are on one switch and cannot be controlled individually (not an issue in my setup).I noticed native the app (Jinvoo Smart) that controls this product is poorly reviewed. My experience was hassle free. There are a series of steps that must be followed to get the power strip paired with the native app (Jinvoo Smart), then hooked to the Alexa or Google app. The directions included in the box had older screen shots of the amazon alexa app. Since the alexa app has been updated I had to dig around a bit to add the device to alexa but it was trivial.I so far have not noticed the power strip disconnecting from the apps or network. Everyone's use case is different but I know my Wifi is strong and there's no interference between the power strip and the wifi router. As with any smart home device it will only work as well as the network it's paired to.

They work well... although they apparently have glitches from time to time... i have several of these, and at times ALL of them stop working at the same time.. a little bit later they will be working again.

Standard esp8266
For anyone interested, this contains an ESP8266 (Arduino) that can be reprogrammed to your liking. Exactly what I purchased it for and hoped for.

Good for the price and looks fairly nice for a power strip.
Worth the money considering a single smart plug cost about the same and doesn't look as nice or have all the extra power outlets as well as USB ports. You can control the outlets on the power strip separately with the android app but as far as I know it's either completely on or completly off with Alexa. Would be nice to be able to disable smart control on some of the outlets and leave it on some.

Great Power Strip
A great smart power strip! 4 USB charging ports I can charge my iPhone and iPad at the same time. It can be used as a regular power or I can control the power strip remotely with the smart life app

Very good for the money and works with Alexa.
It does exactly what you'd expect it to do it works without fail and is simple.
