Alex Wifi Smart Plug, Morovigo Wireless Remote Control Smart Wall Socket with Dual USB Outlets, Compatible with Amazon Alexa & Google Home

I was super juiced to use this then realized it said you need to have 2g wifi to work so I haven't even used it just sitting somewhere in my house

Unit did not work would not power up or work with AlexaWill not buy again

OK, as others have said I would not use this ( or really any remote plug but that's just me) to run power hungry items like coffee pots.I think this is well suited for lights radio or other more generic and low drain items.I do like that it has 2 USB plugs built it, but they are not high powered, my Note!) land my kindle like higher power, so yeah it *will* charge them just not as quick.OK.. how does it function? It works ok , just fine actually. You do need to download their app, which is a pain only because if you have a smart hub going I would not want separate apps for this plug in the dining room for example, separate from google home etc..It also works only on 2.4 so newer modems you have to make sure you hook it up to the right frequency.I had a problem setting it up running through my main unit, so I had to run it off my older one that I had set up in the TV room ( I had to do this for a wifi camera also, so it may be the 100/100 high speed FIOS routers are weird with this?)So all in all, it does work, and works reliably for me, if you have a light or other small items you want to control away from home ( lights for dog? Radio? etc..) tis is a way to go. If you are looking to start a smart home or already have an established one, you may want to see if it is compatible first.

We were able to pair the plug with my husband's phone fairly easily. He went about a block away for testing, and the control works fine; I could hear it clicking on and off. I have some questions about the functionality of this big plug, 4.75" long. The two USB ports, while they work, are way under-powered at a total of 1.5 amp. Newer chargers I've purchased provide 2.4 amps per connection.I've been holding off writing a review of the plug, because I was somewhat alarmed by the appliances other reviewers said they'd connected. Today I was able to chat with our trusted electrician about the capabilities of this outlet unit. The label on the plug states that the Maximum load is 2200 watts or 10 amps. The 2200 watts top rating is for use at the maximum voltage of 250 volts. At 120 volts, more typical in American homes, the maximum rating of 10 amps has a maximum wattage rating of 1200 watts. These timed or remote outlets are very popular for regulating coffee makers. Our coffee maker pulls 1475 watts, at least while it's heating water. The electrician confirmed my suspicions: It is not safe to use this plug with appliances over the rated 10 amps. He did say that there are hard-wired smart plug units available that will support typical 15 or 20 watt connections.So, go ahead and connect lamps and audio players to scare away the burglars, but don't take chances with high wattage appliances.

This device failed both in procedure and in usage. The procedure failure is subjective but it’s one I enormously object to. I only adhered to the steps to find out if the device worked. It didn’t but that’s coming soon.The procedure to start using this device is to install the app from the Apple or Google stores. It’s free to download but not to use. The reason I say that is it demands a valid email address from you. Upon entering, a ‘bot sends a confirmation number to that email. You enter the code and your app is activated. This gives the company a verified address for you which is all too often sold for an added profit. The fact of your address being verified by code only makes it more valuable. Do you need more X rated spam? I don’t which is why I think this procedure plain and simply stinks.Please see the photo to see the confirmation screen which assures the company that it has a valid email address.The next step is to pair the app on your smart device with the smart plug. I used an iPhone XS Max for the test. The process failed here. I have no idea why. I tried the troubleshooting routine which resulted in another failure – twice.So from this person’s view, the process of setting the smart plug up fails due to privacy concerns but that it made little difference to me in the end because I can’t get the plug to work without pairing. My email is still out there perhaps for sale.

The plug is well built and all outlets work as expected. It is a big plus that there are 2 USB slots for any USB cable and they are in high mAh also. I noticed that my iPad get charged faster using one of them than using my Apple charger. The 3-prong socket works just like regular walk socket, so even you don’t use it as a smart WiFi sockets, it is still a solid socket with bonus USB slots. It is like an extension cable with extra outlets.Ok, so why did I give 3-star? The instruction is pretty bad and the eWelink app is not great. It is like written by an amateur programmer or something. And most importantly, the apps collects our browsing data and personal information. It is written on the app's service agreement. I know it is free app and there is nothing we can do to prevent any company to collect our data online, but I still don’t feel comfortable using a device that I give permission to track my internet traffic and information. I thought the smart socket will connect using amazon's alexia program directly, but no. It is required to use eWeLink first and then link that to alexia.Anyway, it is a good solid socket that’s is well built and it works wonderfully, but the app is just not as great and it made me paranoid since it is a Chinese app that we have no idea what kind of personal information or data we allow it to collect from our router after we granted the permission to it.
