About Wyze Plug, 2.4GHz WiFi Smart Plug
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
67% liked the smooth switch mechanism, yet 33% found it unreliable
The switch often quits working and needs to be reset by unplugging/plugging it in.
73% appreciated the smart features
I can set lamps or other devices on a schedule and control them remotely with the plugs.
73% appreciated the safety features
The product provides peace of mind by giving the impression that someone is home and keeping pets away from the dark.
The range of the plug surprised me as it worked perfectly even when it was two hundred feet away from the house, behind two walls and inside an area. This indicates good safety features of the electrical-outlet-switches.
74% found it easy to install
I found it easy to set up the product with the iPhone app.
72% were satisfied with durability, however 28% weren't
The electrical-outlet-switches worked for 4 years but have failed now as the warranty has expired.
I have compared the durability of Wyze smart plugs with the lights on digital timers that I have been using for 15 years. The lights on digital timers have never failed, while the Wyze smart plugs failed within a week of installation.
69% were impressed with the compatibility, although 31% encountered issues
The plugs work well with my home setup using Google Home speakers.
I was able to reconnect the plugs to wifi without resetting them by simply removing them from the wall and plugging them back in.
The plugs work very well with Wyze app and Alexa.
The plug requires location sharing to connect, which is very annoying. It also creates a target rich environment for hackers, which is an issue if I am concerned about privacy.
