Just got my hands on the Amysen Matter Smart Plugs (4-pack) and honestly? They’re a game-changer. Setup was stupid easy—scanned a QR code in SmartThings, and boom, connected. No extra apps, no headache.
Love how compact they are compared to my old Kasa plugs. Fits way better on power strips, though I wish they were slightly smaller to stack vertically (Kasa wins there). Still, 4.5/5 stars.
The Matter compatibility is the real MVP. Works offline like a champ—tested by unplugging my router, and my lamps stayed controllable via LAN. Also obsessed with scheduling: my Christmas tree now auto-shuts at midnight. *chef’s kiss*
Voice control via Google Home/Alexa is smooth, but heads-up: you NEED a Matter hub (HomePod, Echo Dot, etc.). Also, 2.4GHz WiFi only—had to wrestle my dual-band router into submission (pro tip: force 2.4GHz by connecting far from the router first).
Safety-wise, they feel sturdy (FCC-certified), but avoid surge protectors—outlets only. One gripe: no built-in daily schedule (e.g., 9PM-4AM), just timers. Still, for $40/4-pack? Worth it.
