The job it does well, like a plug, but of course the Xiaomi application with Google Assistant does not have the best collaboration and sometimes it does not listen to the command to open the plug and I have to do it with the Xiaomi application.
EDIT: The plug is now essentially useless. While it was working fine, it is now region locked. Something that I bought in Greece and used for a year should not justify it not working anymore.
It is a very good and economical choice. Once you find the way they connect and work, they work fine. However, one of them disconnects very often from the application. Also, when there is an internet or power outage, it disconnects again. One specifically. And another one that I have malfunctioned. I had set it to turn off at 2:00. It did, but then it turned on by itself again, and luckily I understood it because it was on a heater and we didn't have any fire.
Simply the best, It solves your hands. Another incredibly high-quality product from Xiaomi. Very easy to connect and works perfectly with Google and the Xiaomi app!
Very good wifi socket. Zero disconnections, it is connected to an extender and works every day for a year in a scenario through Xiaomi Home, in order to turn on the external lighting at the entrance of my house. I have connected a photocell and a motion detector from the same company. So, if the default time has passed, it is dark outside, and there is movement at the entrance, then only the lights should turn on for a few seconds. In any other case, they remain off until dawn. I plan to buy more to experiment with other scenarios.
I use the plug to open and close the electric blanket. Apart from the practicality aspect, meaning being able to program it to open and close at specific times, it assures me that I will leave the house and the device will be closed. Just that alone, providing an additional safety, makes it worth 5 stars. Noteworthy is the fact that the application, build quality, and reliability are equally exceptional.
Just received it and installed it, not without a little adventure! Luckily my POCO gave me the necessary settings and I didn't return it. It does what it says. The test remains over time!
Unacceptable.....It disconnects. After a while, it requires reconfiguration. I don't know why. If it's caused by a power outage. Compared to the TP LINK Tapo P100, it's day and night. The Tp link never disconnected on me. I never had to reinstall it. The Tapo has easy installation and IMMEDIATE response to commands (turn on - turn off). Similarly, flawless and I ordered it from China. .....And supposedly I have a Xiaomi phone. So stay away from the Xiaomi plug that has been driving me crazy. Unacceptable as it is also more expensive than the Tapo!!!!! A little more and I will crush it underneath!!
It helps me to turn off my desk lamp and living room lamp, as well as my bedroom lamp, and control my heater through voice commands from my phone or Google Nest, even when I'm not at home. I have bought four of them and there is also a power strip option if you have everything close to you that you want to control. A good idea is to have a Google Nest in the kitchen for those who have appliances like a toaster, toaster oven, microwave, blender, or juicer that can be controlled through simple English commands. You can plug them into a power strip. Personally, I have a regular power strip with individual switches because I had bought them before getting the Google Nest, so I just added a switch inside the switch. You don't need a Google Nest if your phone has the Google Home app installed. It's nice to simply say "Hey Google, open toast" on your phone without needing to open any app, just speak to the screen of your phone and the toaster will open. I can also send songs or watch YouTube videos by sending them to the Google Nest from my computer or phone, and I can watch my favorite series on the Nest next to my computer or listen to the song I sent from my computer while searching for something else on the computer
I have it in a convenience store mini market. In whatever I can close at night. In some illuminated stands and other promotional items that have lighting. I have set them to turn on and off with a timer, but unfortunately some do not turn on at the right time and you have to do it manually afterwards. For something that is not so important, they are good for their money, but if you want it for something that is important to open and close at the time you want, 1000% I would not buy it again.
Although I have many devices from this company, unfortunately I will remove the sockets and get the tp link ones that my cousin has and told me that they are very reliable
A very good smart plug from Xiaomi. So far, it hasn't shown any problems, the response through the app is immediate, and it has never needed a reset. I have also used it with a heater, but I wouldn't recommend such use because over time I'm afraid the relay might get stuck and thus render the plug useless.
The best thing about it is that it connects in 1 minute and works perfectly without any problems. You can control it from your mobile phone and I am very satisfied.
The reason for the bad rating is that although it is an excellent product.....I have 25 devices that are forced to work with Chinese servers because Xiaomi itself required it in order for them to function....these devices are from Greece with European servers.....so if you want to use this plug, you can't see any of your other devices.....in other words, it makes no sense and has no smart logic.....
It's a waste of money unless you only have devices from Greece or you are just starting to build a smart home all with European data.
I bought the socket in September for €13.50, now I'm going to buy another one and the price is 30+ which is unacceptable.
No, it's not worth it for €30+, for €13-14 it's fine
Personally, it does exactly what I wanted and I have no problem with it for the past month that I have it. It has been placed in a power strip to turn on a lamp. I have programmed it to do so automatically and I have no issues.
After 1 year of operation: for the aquarium, I had planned for the light to turn on twice a day. The disconnections are constant and the worst part is that many times it showed that the light is on when it was actually off. And I am also a fan of Xiaomi, the robot vacuum is excellent. This product does not deliver what it promises, disappointing
A smart plug that does what it's intended to do. In terms of size, it's neither too big nor too small. The design is satisfactory. It has a manual switch on its body for manual operation. The connection with mi home is easy. Through mi home, you can control it and create combinations or automations with other devices or various scenarios. The only negative thing I found is that it doesn't measure and display the electricity consumption.
Cheap and reliable product. It can easily be installed on your mobile application and you can program it to open and close at specific times. It truly exceeds expectations!
Just bought 2 and using them with 2 different floor lamps via Amazon Alexa. They work fine so far, but as others have mentioned in the reviews, in the future I will prefer ones that connect with a Hub.
Excellent product. Instant connection to wifi through Xiaomi Home. Recognized immediately by Google Home and so far (I have had it for a short time), there is no disconnection. Currently, it does everything it claims to do.
It works very well, I turned my 1980 washing machine "smart". Just after a couple of power outages, the indicator light burned out. It doesn't bother me because I can still open and close it from the app, I just mention it because I saw that others have the same issue.
I have it for 5 months, for automatic watering in the garden via a pressure system. Very good connection and response. No particular observation. I would definitely recommend it.
The smart plug is truly amazing and incredibly useful for countless situations. I haven't encountered any problems with its connection and programming, and it is definitely worth its price and more.
Because I also read here (as well as for the IP cameras) that there are various connectivity issues... almost in all cases they are due to router and network settings, and not to the devices themselves.
Indeed, not all of us are technicians to enter the network and make configurations, but these are the IP devices and this is how they work... we learn 2-3 basic things and we can overcome minor issues.
In the 3 devices that I have installed, everything runs smoothly!
Very good, but be careful with the latest updates of the Xiaomi App, you need to have the server in Greece and if you have purchased other items from abroad, the server of the app should be China.
