Ratings and reviews

I haven't had any big issues like the ones reported in the one star reviews. I use the app to control a few "smart plug" devices which I've used to measure energy consumption of a number of household appliances. I've also used the timer capability to run a dehumidifier only during night hours. The scheduling operation for smart plugs needs uninterrupted network connectivity, so I wouldn't recommend using this for anything critical, like medical devices or freezers with expensive contents.

These outlets handle DST with the grace of a squirrel on a greased pole. I have 4, one is an hour fast, and two are an hour behind. Yes, I can reset them twice per year, plus the times they try to fix themselves, or I can buy another product entirely. They do track usage, but relaibly only if the wifi maintains a perfect connection all the time.

We use these devices for Christmas so it's only for about a month and a half at most. We have 15 devices in use inside the house and while the devices themselves work, they stay connected to the internet just fine the app sucks. In the prior app there was a way to make a group and in this version you have to add devices to a Tap-to-Run group and it's very slow as you have to add them one by one and indicate on or off for each. So that means two Tap-to-Run for each group. And the app doesn't register touches to activate things very well. I sometimes have to click a Tap-to-Run 10-15 times to get it to activate. The automation of the Tap-to-Run works well so have resorted to that. If the app had easily addable groups in the device section and would register touches on the screen better it would be much better solution. The developer also doesn't appear to respond to questions on how to do things in the app.
