GHome SmartPlug Outlet Extender 15A, WiFi Smart Plugs Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, Smart Surge Protector Outlet with Remote Control and Timer, Dual Sockets, No Hub Required, White, 2 Pack

Smart plugs have been around forever, so what could be special about these? I wasn't expecting anything new or different, but these have some new features I wasn't expecting. First, while the manufacturer suggests you use Gosund as the app, I also found that you can pair with the more obliquitous SmartLife which worked just fine. Second, like so many other plugs, these only work with 2.4g so if you have dual system, you have to back off to only 2.4g or they will not pair. Whem O paired in SmartLife, I found there were 6 additional features that most plugs do not have, including the ability to see how good the signal strength is, and to give so modes I have not seen before. Since this is obviously a new step in programing, I am giving this the extra fifth star because it was an unexpected bonus.************** VINE Notice ************************Even though I have been given this product as part of a VINE review by Amazon, my reviews are honest and not influenced by receiving the product. Quite frankly, I could buy this if I wanted it, and I am doing these reviews for fun. I am a 65 year old guy and have appreciated the very clear and detailed reviews on Amazon. I started leaving my own and was selected to give these for products that I wanted to look into. But I will call a dog a dog.*************** Explanation of Rating System *************************My rating system. 5 Stars means that it not only worked well, but had features that I wasn't expecting. That is, it worked beyond expectations. 4 Stars means it did what it said it would do and I found no problems that kept me from liking the product or annoying me to the point of wanting me to do something about it. 3 Stars means that it worked, but it had a problem significantly annoying enough that I decided that it interfered with my enjoyment of the product. 2 Stars is that the product may have barely worked, but there were enough problems that made me desire to either return it or to use it grudgingly because it was pain in the toucus. 1 Star - it simply fails in all respects, and I'll tell you why.

I've been using this 2-pack of GHome smart plugs for almost a month, and I'm pleased with how seamlessly they integrated into my smart home system. Setting them up was quick and easy, though I did need to download the GHome app from Google Play and install it on my phone. This step is necessary before Alexa will recognize and control the plugs. The app is user-friendly, and once the plugs were set up, Alexa recognized them immediately.These plugs are compact with a space-saving design. Each smart plug features two outlets, which are offset horizontally and extend beyond the typical dual outlet plate. However, they're compact enough that both devices will fit into a 2-plug wall outlet. This is particularly convenient, as some other smart plugs I've purchased are too tall to stack like this, which can be an issue for anyone looking to maximize outlet usage.The plugs are rated for 15 amps and operate on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Each socket is individually controlled, so this 2-pack effectively adds four new outlets to your smart home system. Voice control via Alexa works flawlessly, and the plugs respond promptly to commands, making it easy to manage connected devices without needing to reach for my phone.A few other features are worth mentioning. These GHome plugs are equipped with surge protection and overload protection for added safety. The scheduling and timer functions work as advertised, allowing me to automate when certain devices turn on or off, helping to save energy and money. Over the month that I've been using these smart plugs, I've found their performance to be stable and 100% reliable. If you're looking for functional, well-designed, and Alexa-compatible smart plugs, these are worth considering.

This two pack of G home smart plugs works great for me. It connected to my wifi easily. And I like thou was able to set up timers to. automatically turn on or off the plug.I don't have any complaints other than. that it can only can draw up to 15 amps

Smart plugs are very useful to keep an eye on your house and turn everything on and off by voice. This gives you two plus in one so you can connect two plugs at the same time. These are easy to setup and use as long as your internet is working. These are good but only in cases when you need two devices under control at the same location.

I love these plugs and im about to order some more! They easily paired to my Tuya account and work great with Home Assistant. You can also toggle power to their individual outlets via physical switch and they show an LED light, indicating what outlet is on. GHome is a decent brand for their price and I have yet to encounter an issue with integrating them into my home. Recommend it!

I've never seen or used a double outlet like these. They are great for automation. Sometime you want to turn on the lights and something else like a small appliance. Now I don't have to use two smart plugs and give up two outlets to do it. Each outlet is individually controlled. Once configured they can be used in automations in Google Home like any other smart plug on the market. These are probably my new favorite smart plug because of their versatility in my home automation.

Just follow the included directions for set up and there are even directions so you can bind your smart plug to use with voice assistants. Just remember that you need to use a 2.4 ghz network connection. Easiest way to get the app is by using the QR code in the directions. Just make sure that you are pairing your plug to the same network your phone uses. After install you can operate the power switch for each plug remotely or you can set it up with a timer or on/off schedule. I use mine to turn off my office fan and my air purifier during a conference call or during a recording session. This works really well and performs as it should.
