Let me start by saying these smart plugs do their job—when they work. I used them to automate my living room lamps and a coffee maker, and the voice control via Google Assistant was smooth once set up. The no-hub design is great for quick installation, and power monitoring is a handy feature for energy-conscious users.
However, the setup process was an absolute nightmare. The required app is outdated and nearly impossible to find—I had to dig through third-party stores just to get it. Even then, the connection process felt like solving a puzzle with its confusing 'fast' vs 'standard' modes. The plastic casing does feel cheaper than competitors' offerings too.
For tech-savvy users willing to flash custom firmware (like Tasmota mentioned in reviews), these become much more reliable. But average consumers should beware—the manufacturer's poor app support makes what should be simple plug-and-play devices into frustrating tech projects.
They're decent when working, but I can't fully recommend them unless you're prepared for setup headaches or comfortable with firmware modifications.
