Smart Power Strip, WiFi Surge Protector, Voice Control with Alexa & Google Home, 4 AC Outlets 4 USB Port with 6-Foot Cord, App Control Appliances, Individual Control, Timing Schedule, No Hub Required

These power strips are great. I needed 7 total, so I decided to be patient and use Amazon's Subscribe & Save to get the price even lower. I've been using them for over 2 months now, and I have not had an issue with connectivity or malfunctions. For reference, I have a UniFi AP providing my wireless, and I have split the 2.4ghz and 5ghz radio SSIDs (wifi switches (any brand) and many other devices do not like combined 2.4/5ghz wifi with the same SSIDs). It takes only a few seconds to pair with the Smart Life App, and a few more seconds to name each output. Scheduling and setting up automation for outputs is easy in the Smart Life App. You can base activation or deactivation of any output based upon weather, humidity, temperature (all internet based), sunrise/sunset, a different switch or output activation or deactivation, time schedule, or based on some energy management information on outputs that have those features (these don't, but they're much cheaper). As an example: I have a dehumidifier that I needed to schedule to run during off-peak times when power is cheaper and turn off at all other times. The unit itself doesn't have a clock (it can do 1hr on, 1hr off, etc, but not a true schedule). I hooked it up to one of the outputs on these (it draws ~450watts) and set it to follow a custom schedule. I had to modify the power board so it would actually turn on when powered up, which may be too involved for most people. Another example: I have a large ceiling mounted projector, and at the media cabinet I have a powered subwoofer and phase-coupled activator. I have another brand's single outlet (also uses Smart Life App) at the projector, and one of these Pinlo power strips in the media cabinet. When I ask Google to turn on the projector, I have a Smart Automation set up to follow that output and turn on the Subwoofer and Phase-Coupled Activator outputs. I could have set up a Routine in Google Home, but it's actually easier in the Smart Life App. Another example: I have a dual smart switch installed by the kitchen, and I have a lamp on one of these outputs in the media room. One of the smart switches controls the kitchen light, and the other is just an output with nothing wired to the output side. I have 2 Automations set up: the first is to turn on the lamp output when the switch is activated, and the second to turn off the lamp output when the switch is deactivated. Now I can turn the media room lamp on and off from a non-physically-connected switch by the kitchen, as well as voice commands. Pairing Smart Life to Google is easy, the only issue I have (and the issue is between Google and Smart Life, nothing to do with Pinlo) is that you basically have to add the devices a second time in the Home App (you don't need to pair them again, just "include" them to the Home/Room that you want). First world problems, am I right? I use these to reduce some vampire drain on many of my electronics when I'm not using them. These use ~1/2 watt total when not activated, and ~1.5 watts with all outlets turned on, which is less than any one of the things I would plug into it. The outlets are spaced well enough apart that you can get at least a couple of wall-warts plugged into it no problem, depending on the size, orientation, and whether they all have ground pins (mostly an issue with sideways type transformers) you might even get 4. I'm very happy with the performance, design, and functionality of these, I plan to get several more.

Because smart home devices are clearly here and here to stay, it was amazing to buy a product that just works. And it works with the ecosystem I use. Setting up is easy to a little frustrating. The mobile app is fine - could use a little tweaking- but I'm not complaining because you really ever need to open the JinVoo app when setting up or changing the names of your devices (you don't really need to do this if you change it in Google Home). Each outlet works individually. There are multiple USB ports that work individually of the outlets but not of each other. I purchased this item when it was on sale and I have kept it in my cart's "save for later" section in case it ever goes on sale again. The white version looks sharp, the black version looks even better. There hasn't been one time (and I mean this) in the last 8 months of owning and using this device that it didn't work on the first voice command. That isn't something I can say for some MAJOR company's products. I have purchased three so far. - one for myself and two for my sister. As soon as this device falls under $25 USD again I am going to purchase another one. Just as an aside - the reason I keep this item in my saved for later section is so that I can purchase the same JinVoo smart power strip I did before. If you do a search for smart power strip there are MANY MANY MANY options and if you accidentally purchase two products that look exactly the same but from two different companies you will then have to install two different apps on your device. I don't know about the other company's products because I bought JinVoo first and then stayed with it because it worked.

If you're looking for a multi smart plug solution GET THIS ONE!!! I purchased this smart power strip to have more versatility with my smart home. Before this I was using an alexa smart plug connected to a powerstip. The alexa plug worked great but if I only wanted to power on 1 device from the strip it was not possible until I purchased this wifi enabled smart power strip... I have tried other products like this but I always ran into the problem of connecting it to a 2.4Ghz network. I have internet thru Comcast xfinity and the problem with the router provided is that it uses both 2.4GHz and 5GHz (automatically, you can't choose which one to use). Smart devices use the 2.4 connection and other powerstrips was a headache trying connect to the 2.4 connection. This worked out for my situation! (: When I tried to connect this wifi I was having problems but What separates this powerstrip is I was able to connect it in "AP mode" which lets you connect directly to the wifi of the smart life app device and connect. I have been using this for a few weeks and it works great with alexa! I named all of the plugs in the smart life app first, then enabled the smart skill in alexa and the devices were automatically updated in the alexa app. Now I can ask alexa to turn on 4 different devices separately or just have 2 plugs on and 2 off. The 4 USBs works as 1 switch... You can also control all ports with one button. I did not try the Smart life app features because I can schedule on and off and routines thru alexa with this device which works excellent!! Pros: Works with alexa (4 power devices independently) Easy to connect saves space in a plug socket (instead of bulkier smart plugs. cough cough.. Alexa lol) The spacing on the plug makes it easy to plug in bulkier power bricks easy to use. The price for 25 bucks you basically get 5 smart plugs in one!! Cons: The 4 USB ports is one switch Took a little longer to connect since it did not automatically detect the 2.4Ghz connection in wifi.. I took off a star due to getting connected.. But once you figure it out and it works it WORKS!! Besides that I am happy with my purchase and FINALLY a smart powerstrip that can connect easily and works with Alexa! I will differently be ordering a few more of these strips to replace the 1 alexa plug that goes into my other powerstrips (
