Smart Plug 4-Pack, Bluetooth Wi-Fi Smart Outlet for Smart Home, Remote Control Lights and Devices from Anywhere, No Hub Required, ETL Certified

Absolutely love these smart plugs. Setup was quick and easy, and they connect to Alexa without any problems. I’ve ended up putting them all over the house for lamps, fans, and other devices. The app works well, schedules are easy to set, and the plugs respond quickly to voice commands. Great value for a 4-pack and highly recommend if you’re building a smart home setup.

This Ayococr Smart Socket is one of a small army of essentially similar products coming from overseas, all built on the Tuya Smart IoT (Internet of Things) platform. Setup is essentially identical to any of the other similar, no-name products sold on Amazon. A download link is provided for the "Smart Life" app, in the form of a QR code on the product box, and in the included instructions. I can't speak to the Android version of the app, but the iOS version works well, and is highly rated. The Smart Life app performs the initial setup of the Smart Plug, to get it on your 2.4 GHz WiFi, and provides remote turn on/off. In the case of this device, the "Quick Mode" setup did not work, but the fallback "AP Mode" configuration was completely effective. Once this one-time setup is complete, Smart Life provides on/off status, and provides myriad timer on/off functions. Alexa integration requires additional steps, to install the "Smart Life" skill, and configure Alexa to control the Smart Plug. Instructions for this are also included. Once the initial setup is completed, the unit functions as expected with the greater Alexa ecosystem. Altogether, being a two-app process, setup is disjointed, compared to the Amazon Smart Plug, but unlike the Amazon product, provides multi-platform support (Google and IFTTT). I have lamps plugged into mine, and setup to respond to "Alexa, turn on/off the bedroom/family room/living room lights" which works flawlessly. Interestingly, the product itself does not have the ETL certification mark called out in the product description, but does have legitimate FCC and RoHS marks. The product itself is attractively packaged, and has good fit and finish, particularly for the price point. It is also more compact than many competitors; this plug can be used in a standard duplex outlet without blocking the other socket. Given I can buy a four-pack of these for about the same price as a single Amazon plug, and get the same final result, it's a great buy. Update: Based on my previous experience with this product, purchased in August 2019, I ordered another one of these in February, 2020. In contrast to my earlier experience, this time, I was able to successfully configure the new unit via the "Quick Mode" setup. Also, unlike the units I received last summer, the new one has an ETL regulatory mark on it. Quick web searches confirm the ETL and FCC marks are "genuine." Given how many low cost electronics of Chinese origin are lacking such regulatory approval markings entirely, or have obviously falsified markings, this inspires a much greater degree of confidence that this product is well made and safe.

This stay at home order got me thinking of ways to improve our home. I already have Google Home and smart led lights around the house, but I decided to take it a bit further and try to automate other stuff like electric fans, rice cooker, and other appliances. This product seems to be an inexpensive solution for my project. I wasn’t disappointed. The packaging is plain and simple with minimal branding. It contains 4 smart sockets and the user guide. I like the white finish on this product as it blends well with our walls and sockets. It feels very sturdy and durable. At first, I tried to directly setup the sockets using Google Home, but unlike other products, it looks like there is no direct way but to use the Smart Life app. I tried setting up the sockets using the wall socket close to my wifi router. The Smart Life app setup wizard was quick, and I got all the 4 sockets connected to my wifi in 5 minutes. Then I just linked the Smart Life app to my Google Home app and there I am now able to control everything from one app. Voice command works fine, I have labeled the sockets to correspond to the appliance connected to it for easy voice commands. I connected an exhaust fan to one socket and setup schedules to turn on and off, and it works well. So far, I am very happy with my purchase. Inexpensive smart solution that works very well. Highly recommended.

I bought the pack of four and have only set up one, but it was pretty quick and easy... once I looked at the instructions. My habit with these sorts of things is to just try to figure it out as I go along, and that didn't work here. This brand doesn't automatically show up in the Alexa app to connect, you have to set up the plug with their app and then connect it to Alexa. It's an extra step, but then it's done, and it all works nicely. I have two complaints. First, the size of the round housing for these things is so large that you can't use two of them in a single wall outlet. Maybe I should have realized that from the photos, but I missed it... and it's just poor design. Second, it only supports 2.4GHz wi-fi connections, and the 2.4GHz band is horribly noisy in my apartment building, so I use 5 when I can. Again, it probably said something to that affect in the listing, but I missed it... any device sold these days really should support both.

Truly Cheapest ones i found in Amazon and close to 5 star reviews with so many satisfied customers according reviews. So when i was looking for smart plugs, I jumped on these. I purchased all together 16 of them. It has been almost a month. Enough time to be familiar with them. All the plugs were used in different remote locations and for different devices to be turned on off remotely and used with schedules and smart groupings. Many began to fail. For example, One just did not work after a 3 weeks of working and many effort went it to it to figure out why it was not working (Amazon tech service were consulted as well). Final conclusion for this one was that it Just failed and did not work even though it was giving all the right indications that it was working ( switch lights indications, and from smart life app). Other failing issues are, failing Erratically from scheduled times I have set ( not come on of fail to turn of at scheduled off time) and just fail to connect ( dropped from wifi network) and becomes ‘off line’. I would not mined so much if all the failing devices are located near by where i just go and reset them but most of them are off sights and hours away so until I am there, I could not do anything ( not knowing if it is on ? Or off? That is not good). One issue is that it is odd is that three of the smart plugs are using same net work of wifi close to each other and always same two fails and drops from the net work and becomes ‘off line’. So this is situation, out of 16 i got, 5 of them gives me this problem of offline where i just can not control from Smart life app so they become useless till I go to reset ( but fails again in couple of day and must wait till i get there again to reset them) . About the scheduling failure, i am not so much in concern Right Now since as long as i can turn them on or off remotely, i can live with it. So I have 6 that fails of of 16 and these ones i am in process of returning for a full refund before 30 days of return period guide line from Amazon (after that i am to contact directly to manufacture since it was sold, according to amazon, there after). Smart plugs are very convenient if they work. So i am going to try different brands that works better. Once I find them, my intention is to retune all to this manufacturer. I hope I am not the only one having these problems. It can not be. 6 failed smart plugs out of 16 is like over 35% failure rate which means since it comes 4 outlet in a box, at least one should be defective ( from 30 days of trial. Who know how long these switches will last before they all fail...). Other brands i am looking at right now regardless of the prices are gosund ( amazon certified) and wyze ( I have 11 cameras and am happy with) brand. Good luck

Listen up... These smart plugs have been given a bad rap but I'm here to tell you that these are just wonderful. You can control them from anywhere and you can rest assure they do the job. Bought 8 of them and they are a dream. Lights automatically turn on and off on schedule every single day without fail. They are so easy to use and function perfectly with wifi. After owning them for a year, I've only had to reset one of them and connect back to wifi. You can't go wrong with the product. Highly recommend. 💯

Great value for the money. It works 100% of the time, no issues whatsoever. It was very easy to set up, too. Now I can turn my big fan on (that is a regular fan with no remote, just has a little dial for high/medium/low) with my voice, using Alexa! It's great when I wake up and I'm feeling hot or cold. I don't have to go over and manually turn the fan on/off. I just say, "Alexa, turn the big fan on" when I'm hot or "Alexa, turn the big fan off" when I'm cold, and roll back over and go back to sleep. It's also nice like when I get a phone call or something, I can turn the fan off so the person on the phone can hear me better, etc. But this plug will work with literally anything that can be left on and already be on when you plug it in. It won't work for something like a microwave where you have to manually turn it on, obviously. But yeah, works great and I've literally never had a problem with it. Highly recommended!

I've had three sets of these plugs now. We use them mainly for setting up our Christmas lighting. Unfortunately, when we received two boxes, all of them didn't work/ wouldn't connect. And there was one that would click on and off. But, between the three sets, we had what we needed. They connect to Alexa nicely. My only other con is I wish they were a bit smaller or square/rectangular so they could easily fit next to each other in a power strip. Otherwise, when they work, they're great. Not a stellar purchase, but I would likely purchase again.

Excelente
