Easy to set up on WIFI, works with Alexa, and can be added to groups controlled by Alexa.
We have a few WIFI smart plugs in our home, and one of the ones we use to control our Christmas and animated decorations quit working after over 5 years of use. So, I ordered this 4-pack to replace the broken one and have a couple extras. These smart plugs are installed and set up with the Govee app and can also be controlled with Alexa. Routines are set up in the Govee app which is what I used for our Christmas tree and animated decorations. Although there aren't any instructions for use of the app, it really isn't very difficult to figure out.What I like about the Govee Smart Plugs is:1) The design is great as they use one outlet of a receptacle leaving the other outlet open for use. They also work for 3-prong plugs.2) Using the Govee app, setup for each smart plug was easy and connectivity to my router was flawless. Even in my 2-story house, I had no problems connecting to the router from any room.3) These smart plugs are compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, and can be programmed with routines. I use routines to turn our Christmas tree and animated decorations off and on at specific times. This way I don't have to do it manually. Routines would also be useful to turn lights off and on at specific times when on vacation or away from home.4) Another use for the smart plugs is to turn lighting in a room off or on through Alexa or Google Assistant. I use a few smart plugs in my bedroom since only one of the receptacles in the room is controlled by a switch on the wall. The other electrical outlets are behind a large dresser and behind the headboard of a heavy bed. I set up a smart plug for each lamp in the room, and set them up in the Alexa app in groups. So, I can turn on the dresser lamps individually or together, the nightstand lamp, or the light on the chest of drawers by simply telling Alexa to turn on the dresser, the nightstand or the butterfly, or I can tell Alexa to turn on the bedroom for all of the lights. This has been so convenient since I don't have to walk into a dark bedroom at night and find my way to a lamp switch to turn it on. The only downside is that I have no lighting in my bedroom when the WIFI is out. For these rare occasions, I keep a rechargeable light on my chest of drawers.One improvement I would like to see is the ability to set up routines using a 12 hour clock rather than with military time. Other than this, the app works very well. I would definitely recommend these smart plugs for routine lighting or for connection to Alexa. It's incredible how quickly you can become dependent on the conveniences provided by these smart plugs.I hope this review was helpful for you.Ver másVer menos
