This is not a review of the Wyze plug, which is a fantastic app in and of itself. This review focuses on the Alexa service, which is supposed to work with this device but has never done so. These were purchased with the intention of working with Alexa. Set them up according to the instructions, and the Wyze app will automatically find them. Within the Wyze app, it works well and is very responsive; however, the Alexa app can initially find the device but then reports it as unresponsive, and when you ask Alexa to find the Wyze plug, she says no device was found. Alexa responds by saying, "I can't find a device with that name," when asked to turn on or off a plug with the name given on the device list in the Alexa app. Even when it performs EXACTLY as promised in the Wyze app, Plug is always listed as unresponsive in Alexa's device list. I bought these so I wouldn't have to take out my phone, open an app, and press a button to interact with Alexa. Using a switch is faster than dialing a phone number. Amazon, hurry up! What exactly is going on here?.

It's simple to set up and operate, but it's not capable of the advertised 15 amps. I used to have a 12-year-old daughter. I noticed that the plastic on this plug is starting to melt due to the high amp draw; if I hadn't noticed, this could have been very dangerous. br>br>So, if you only have a few low-powered devices, you should be fine; anything over 10 amps should be avoided, and the plug should be checked frequently.

Each individual plug has its own MAC address as well as an internet connection. You hook them up to your home's wireless network. Fi (you have a Wi-Fi connection at home) Isn't it Fi? After that, you can use Alexa or a Wyze phone app to control the plugs. You can use this to turn on and off anything plugged into the outlet. The fact that the plugs connect directly to your Wi-Fi means you don't have to commit to a controller box. You must, however, be careful when configuring the little suckers to ensure that they are configured to work on the 2. 4GHz side of your Wi-Fi router The issue is that your phone may be set up to work on the 5GHz side, and if you try to set up the plug using your phone, the plug will be unhappy. Secret: Connect your phone to the port number two. 4GHz (temporarily), set up the plug, and then switch back to 5GHz. Also, note that the plugs (along with all other Wyze products) connect to Wyze-owned servers. In order to receive instructions from your phone app, you must use landia. This means that if Wyze goes out of business, your Wyze stuff is toast.

It was simple to set up and connected to the app with ease. Hopefully, you won't need this plug very often, but it does exactly what it's supposed to do. We also have an extra smart plug for the same price as most single smart plugs, which is a fantastic deal! br>br>Recent changes: br>br> 10/18/19: Our second plug was faulty, and it would not connect properly. I contacted Wyze via their app, and after several emails, they agreed to send me a replacement plug for free. The replacement plug arrived today and was just as simple to install as the original. Customer service is excellent and prompt!.

I'm having connectivity issues with the plugs; I have three that work and seven cameras. Text chat is terrible, and CS never responds to messages. br>br>Cameras are useful. Customer Tech Support is a complete waste of time. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> Tech support returned my call and walked me through the network issues, ensuring that all plugs were in working order. br>br>Recommend that they add weekend support.

I just placed my third order for the 2-day delivery. These come in a pack. Four of the plugs are currently in use, and I've just placed an order for more as a gift. They'll come in handy for turning on and off my Christmas lights, but they'll work for any device that turns on when the power is turned on. You can group them together to turn on all of your Christmas lights without having to turn them on individually. My plugs are controlled by Alexa, but they can also be managed via the phone app. They can also be programmed to turn on and off at random. They're fantastic. The Wyze phone app makes it simple to set up; There is no need for a hub or any other extras. They have three prongs, but almost every outlet now accepts three prongs, so it shouldn't be an issue. They're small enough to avoid blocking the second outlet, which some smart plugs do. I like Wyze bulbs as well, but these are more versatile, and at $20 for two plugs, you can't go wrong.

I decided to give these a shot as a replacement for my old outlet timers. One is for the coffee pot, and the other is for the lamp. It's simple to set up, but non-techies may find it difficult to understand at first. It necessitates the use of their app as well as having access to the internet. The app allows you to use Wyze sensors as triggers and create any type of schedule you want. I'm sure IFTTT has some useful actions. However, there is no Apple Homekit integration at this time, and that is true for all Wyze products. Alexa and Google Home, I believe, are compatible. Basically, once you're in the app, you can set up actions, schedules, and shortcuts; what I like about it is that it's easy to override the schedule by simply going to the app to turn on or off rather than reaching behind a cabinet or table to manually hit the on or off button on a timer, though these do have physical buttons. There is a vacation mode for lamps that, in my opinion, shuffles the on/off schedule. If they added a dusk to dawn function or the ability to select dusk and or dawn separately for lamp scheduling, that would be great. What I don't like is that I can't change the WiFi configuration without resetting and starting over, and I have to rely on the internet. I've only had one failure to turn on when it was supposed to, for reasons I don't understand. It's less expensive than a plug-in device in terms of cost. For things like coffee makers, it has a built-in timer and a 15-amp capacity. Overall, I'd buy it again, but I'd like to see a simpler way to edit the WiFi configuration and no reliance on the internet once it's set up.
