It is exactly what it's supposed to be and works flawlessly. Possibly the easiest Wireless / Alexa setup I have ever done.
- Donald W. Caul2024-05-30A nice Alexa enabled powerstrip
Simple to setup with the Alexa app, it is sturdy, helps me maintain and protect my electronics, and best of all, it has two USB connections. It was a very good buy in my opinion. Looks good, too.
- Wildroses2024-06-07Solid and easy to use
So the set up was amazingly fasy. It has anti slip strips and two notchrs in the back to hang on a wall. The device is very sleek if you can call office beige sleek and the little green lights are not intrusive. But....it doesn't like my fans, actually two fans. I have a remote controlled fan and and this Alexa smart power strip. The power strip lights up and Alexa will power off my fan on command. However, on the start command the proper light powers on but the fan doesn't start. I have to press the power button on the fan. Before installing the power strip the remote worked fine. I can even use the remote if the power strip is actively on. Why doesn't the power strip activate the fans? Shutting the plug power off seems to do a hard shut off on the fan
- Jewel2024-07-13It works very well.
It works with Alexa to set up routines and it will turn things on and off with a timer. I like the product but is very expensive. It's not for outdoor since is not waterproof.
- thomas2024-01-26Works well for my setup along with Alexa
I have 2 lamps on my office desk that I wanted to control with my voice. This was the perfect solution and I still have 1 plug left. Setting up was easy using the Alexa app and the barcode on the back of the power strip. I renamed the plugs accordingly and then I grouped them into a group called "Office lamps". Now I simply say "Alexa, turn on/off office lamps" instead of reaching for the switches on the cords.
- Rob L.2024-06-29Perfect for bedside use
Whoever designed this smart power strip must have had bedside use in mind. The cord is not so long that it's a struggle to hide it behind the bed and nightstand; the 90 degree plug makes it easy to get furniture close to the wall; it has just the right number and kinds of outlets for a bedside lamp, bed warmer (if you're old like us and use that type of thing), a USB phone charger, and a couple more accessories. These were easy to add to our Alexa ecosystem and name/group so that simple voice commands turn the bedroom lights on and off. I even created a routine to turn my wife's bed warmer off every morning... I'm not going to say that she forgets to do that, but it has been known to happen. In my opinion, this is a well thought out and solidly made device.
- TheSCOTTS2023-10-27Perfect for its purpose
Easy to set up and it does exactly what it's supposed to. My mother was constantly leaving all the lights on her side of the office on because she didn't want to have to turn them off and on repeatedly throughout the day. With this, she just tells Alexa to turn the office on or off and it does it instantly. I would have preferred 4 plugs since she has 4 lights, but a splitter solved that. The buttons to switch each plug on and off are unnecessary for us but convenient, too. The only problem I've had with it is sometimes Alexa doesn't hear the command, but that's because it's hidden on a table in the middle of the room instead of out in the opening like every other Alexa in the house.
- JACK OB2024-07-13Works as expected
Took a while to figure out. but works great. i like that it has individual switches. I use it every day to start my coffee then it turns on an under cabinet light when coffee is done brewing! The app is ok. It would be better if when you open it, it would go to the "devices" page...
- wolfpack fan2024-04-23Works well but with some setup problems
This appears to be a very sturdy surge protector/power strip/Alexa controlled outlets plus 2 USB-A and 1 USB-C ports. Once I got it setup it worked well, but there were some really annoying setup problems. First, the instructions say it is a 2.4 Ghz unit only. That's kind of strange, given that most home WiFi networks these days are 5 Ghz. In fact, this unit didn't detect my eero-based WiFi network even though it's dual 5 Ghz / 2.4 Ghz. Okay, so I shut down the 5 Ghz radio on the eero but the outlet strip still doesn't see my network. I enter it manually and now it connects. So far, so good. I then go to configure the individual outlets and find that they are named "Fourth plug" through "Ninth plug". Huh? Why not "First plug" through "Sixth plug"? Then I figured that I must have already "First plug" in my Alexa devices, but nope. Okay, I can rename the outlets so that they make sense. Last bit of weirdness: the outlets aren't named "Fourth plug" through "Ninth plug" from left to right. Or, for that matter, from right to left. For example, the third outlet from the right is "Sixth plug". After some effort I finally rename the outlets "Plug 1" through "Plug 6" from right to left, starting at the main power switch. If you can get past this strange initial configuration, the unit works fine. You have full voice command of all six outlets through Alexa (and they can each be turned off and on manually through the switches by each outlet). I have to give this unit 4 stars for the setup problems, which shouldn't have happened. It crossed my mind that maybe this particular unit was a refurb and that some previous owner had relabeled the outlets, but it certainly looks like a brand new unit with packing materials and instructions.
- Ken Cormack2024-05-26Alexa, turn on the A/C
As temps are getting warmer, I've just re-installed a window Air Conditioner. This year however, I installed it in a different window to open up floor space for a new desk by the old window. The new location is not quite as convenient however, given some of the furniture pieces in the way. Since I have several Alexa-compatible devices, it made sense to consider an Alexa-compatible outlet. This power strip suit the bill perfectly. I'm only presently using one of the three outlets on this three-outlet strip, and in the Alexa app I've named that outlet "A/C". On my window unit I set the knobs to my usual "coolness" settings, and plugged it into that outlet. The Air Conditioner now can be controlled by saying "Alexa, turn on (or off) the A/C". It works great. I do wish the power strip's cord were a couple feet longer. I also wish the unit could work with 5G wifi. But those two factors aside, I'm quite pleased with the purchase.
