Highlights
Quality
Under the covers, the build quality is good with no apparent poor solder joints (on the four i have updated so far).
I tried to use my iphone to pair these with the app, but it did not work.
Then i decided to try pairing them with the app by using my amazon fire tablet.
It was easy to pair each unit with the phone and set up schedules.
Price
I wish their price was about half what they are.
I use it to track kwh for my computer workstation to see what it costs me to operate.
Price is higher than other smart plugs but to keep my system with as few chi-com manufacturers as reasonable i had to go this route.
Packaging/appearance
I have used the sonoff software/app before and it is not great.
Competitiveness
I bought a few sonoff switches years back and needed more smart plugs.
0 (hubitat version, find it on github) and it has integrated really well into my hubitat home automation system.
You can work around it using ha and a sonoff integration, but they randomly disconnect and control is hit or miss.
So as to limit my app-footprint, i ordered more sonoff.
