About Govee Smart Plug, Alexa WiFi Plug Works with Google Assistant
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
72% liked the smooth switch mechanism, yet 28% found it unreliable
After 2 months, the plug started malfunctioning and wouldn't turn off. It was also turning itself on and off continuously for no reason.
80% appreciated the smart features
I set up a group called 'Christmas' with a timer schedule that turned everything on at 5:00pm and off at 11:00pm.
I can set up the smart plug to turn on and off at a certain time using Alexa's routine feature.
69% appreciated the safety features, but 31% found them lacking
The circular plugs of this product are a bit large and may intrude upon the space needed for another device to plug into the other receptacle, which could be a safety issue.
I cannot leave the product outside without proper protection from the elements as it is not weather resistant.
I was scared when I saw the completely melted plug, thinking it might have started a fire.
91% found it easy to install
It was quick and easy to install and can be integrated into Google Home and Alexa, making it more convenient.
Adding the plugs was very easy and it took only a few seconds for each one.
I recommend this product as it is easy to plug in and get started on the app. It is so easy to set up that I would recommend it to anyone.
86% were satisfied with durability, however 14% weren't
I feel that the plugs are more durable, but I need to test them through a couple of Texas thunderstorms before rating them.
I noticed that the switch is not weather resistant and needs proper protection from the elements if left outside.
After a few months of using the plugs, they started disconnecting from my network, indicating that the durability of the electrical-outlet-switches is not up to the mark.
85% were impressed with the compatibility, although 15% encountered issues
These electrical-outlet-switches work perfectly with Alexa.
It is important to set the wireless to 2.4 for the smart plug to work as it does not support 5g.
75% liked the aesthetic design
The electrical-outlet-switches are nice and smaller in size.
