5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality thus far!
I've had these plugs for a couple of weeks now and I am impressed. They look and feel well made. Once the app was downloaded they have been super easy to add, setup and get working. Once they were setup in their app, Alexa found them immediately! Now, I can speak my command to Alexa to turn on or off at will.And I've already setup a schedule for a lamp to come on and turn off at my preference daily. Very nice!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!
I recently bought these for my new home. Easy to setup, great quality, and at an affordable price! I would definitely buy these again!
5.0 out of 5 stars Good product
This outlet was easy to install and hook into our WiFi. It is now controlled by Alexa. It was easier to connect than some others we’ve had.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad considering Matter is still pretty new
I got these because I wanted to try out Matter. Saw them on sale and based on the reviews these looked like a good starting point. I wanted to try these using Hubitat and Alexa to see how they worked.Hubitat:Hubitat does not commission matter devices yet, so I had to use the AiDot app. Adding the first plug was extremely easy. Once it was connected it automatically updated the firmware. This is a big plus. Added the outlet to Hubitat with zero issues (had to change the device type from device to generic matter outlet). Works perfectly.Alexa:Using the Alexa app didn't go so well. Alexa app kept failing at connecting your device. I reset the outlet (hold the button for 5 seconds until it flashes red) and tried again. Same problem. So I reset it again and added with the AiDot app. Again no issues and it updated the firmware. So this meant the outlet was not faulty. So once the firmware was completed, I deleted it from the AiDot app and reset the outlet. I tried the Alexa app again and it failed. So I moved the outlet 2 feet from one of my echo dots (previously it was about 15-20 feet away from 2 echo dots) and it connected and worked with no problems.Conclusion:I prefer to have my devices controlled locally vs cloud. I also don't prefer to use Alexa Skills if I don't have to. Too many times both Bolo and the other party are making changes and it will cause skills to stop working or have issues. So I removed the one from Alexa and added back in with the AiDot app to use with Hubitat.I have been using them for 2 weeks now and have had no issues with them falling of the network or not responding via Hubitat. We will see long term how they work. Not sure if the problem others are having with these are related to Alexa, firmware not updating or their wifi network.Not clear if the initial issues I had were an Alexa app/dot issue, the firmware, the distance from the dots or both. If I get anymore I will try to do more troubleshooting to see if I can figure it out.Hopefully as Matter matures there will be less issues like these.
5.0 out of 5 stars How did I survive without these?
I love how easy these are to connect with my Google nest. I can’t say the same for the other products I have tried. In fact I’ve returned many because I couldn’t get them to connect right. We use them for our lamps and they are so nice bc we can turn the lamp off after we get upstairs so we can see and it’s nice to be able to turn the light off from bed. This brand is great and I will buy again if we ever need more. Will stick with this brand for other smart devices whenever possible.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great convenience item!
Easy to control lights and other electric items remotely. Works from anywhere and outlets are compatible with Alexa control either through voice commands or the app! Great value!
3.0 out of 5 stars Fails to respond apple
I purchased not long ago. Set up is easy with device and works awesome with AiDot native app. However, set up with apple homekit was easy the first time I set up. the firmware updated and a day later every device stopped responding on HomeKit. Still worked great on native app. I give the product 5 stars but on connectivity I give 3 stars, seeing I purchased to be used with apple homekit.
4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable. Fast response. Why separate app :(
We’ve been using various brands of plugs, but always there is one of them that stops responding and you’re stuck having to figure out how to turn it on or off. So we decided to go for Matter based products as they apparently aren’t as impacted by internet connections.So far so good. We have replaced a total of 8 plugs of other brands and it’s been weeks of reliableOperation. A few Pennie’s more but very reliable. Also, they seem to use less time to respond to commands and were hassle free w install. Do note you still seem to need the Aidot app for install. It cannot be done directly in The Alexa app. That is just so silly because we all now have tons of randomApps like Aidot and Tuya and you never know which plug was setup in which app. That’s total crap experience. Minus 1 star for that part.
