Pros & Cons

Pros

Review is for the 15 amp mini plug. Easy to set-up and control from iphone app. Just ordered another 15 amp outlet to monitor acttic fan.

On ios devices just select device and swipe left - there will be options, including delete. These are pretty good, reliable devices.

Night light on this unit also has a light sensor -- so the room needs to be dark to test it. Product works almost instantly when i shout out at alexa to alexa - turn off the bedroom lights. They come with a built in niye light that automatically turns...  Read More



Cons

Setting up the app is a major issue. They indicate they are off, but what i plugged into the outlet is still on. All i can do is turn my lamp on and off manually.

Quality


The product works almost instantly when i shout out at alexa to alexa - turn off the bedroom lights.


I never had an issue with the outlet again.


I just bought a nissan leaf that i charge with the plain old 120v wall outlet.


Upon reading the reviews it seems to me like people are having problems with the network/wifi not the actual plug.

Price


To be honest it is a good product for the price.

Competitiveness

I am a smart home developer and etekcity products are my go to's.


I am now an etekcity fanboy and won't be buying any more wemo products.


First, let me say that it is a little more difficult to connect to your wifi network than a wemo.

    A little bulky and only fits on the bottom plug

    If you plug it into the top then it blocks you from plugging anything into the bottom
