What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
They have a real 15a relay inside and good power monitoring circuitry. I do wood working as a hobby, and these have helped me with a pretty good idea on how to conserve energy.
Coupled with samsung's bixby voice assistant, everything works great. I use tasmota which doesn't use cloud services and doesn't need internet access.
The plastic shell is thick and sturdy. The solder joints are good. It works great once you get rid of the suspect stock firmware that constantly calls home to tell the company on the other side of the world the details of your bowel movements.
Cons
Connection issues keep disconnecting which is a big issue for my setup with my 3d printers. Instructions are not clear. Just frustrating.

Then, few days later, it registered without any delays.
Competitiveness
Power monitoring appears to be accurate compared to other smart plugs when hooked up to the same loads.
Otherwise, the plugs work as advertised and they're a good value compared to similar products by other manufacturers.
I also understand that there are integrations available for local control without needing the cloud using the sonoff firmware w... Read More

The dimensions of the device itself also allow you to stack them vertically in pairs on a single outlet as well as they only block the space of one outlet horizontally on either side so on 2gt6outlet splitter plates they would only block two of the six outlets
