I have thee different brand smart plugs. This one it’s been working for more than a year consistently good, no disconnects, fast response and I love the ability to track the power consumption.

After I ordered 2 of the Outlet Plugs I read through some of the reviews that they don't work on 5GHz WiFi, but thought I have a dual band router so they should work. When I tried to set one of them up on WiFi with my phone with the Stitch app there was a message on the screen that it wouldn't connect and needs to be on a 2.4GHz network. I got into my WiFi router settings and tried again and noticed it showed up as being connected to the 2.4GHz band, but still didn't work. I called Monoprice tech support and the gentleman suggested it may work if I have a guest network setting on my router. Since guest
networks are set to run at 2.4GHz. We tried a few things first while I looked up setting up a guest network. It was the end of the day for tech support and we agreed to look into it further at another time. After the call I had the guest network set up and then was able to connect to the plug. I initially set it up in the house so it be by the router and then moved it out to my garage workshop where it was intended to be used with a heater I could turn off and on. It worked and it can be turned off and on even from work which is 20 miles away. The heater draws 10 amps and preheats my shop before I intend to do any work. I like the energy usage info so I can tell how much it costs to run my heater. I also set up the second unit which connected first try (2.4GHz) and is running a lamp in my living room. I have the plugs in the upper outlet of a duplex socket and it doesn't block the lower outlet. Other than the initial set up issue once set up on a guest network at 2.4GHz they appear to be working for my needs. I switched my phone back to the 5GHz WiFi and they still work. I would like to thank the gentleman from Monoprice tech support for his time on the phone and to let him know that my set up was resolved based on his suggestion of using a 2.4GHz guest network. Now I need a WiFi thermometer so I can see what the temperature is in my shop so I know how long I need to run my heater....

This plug is not perfect. The app is missing some basic features, such as the ability to delete energy tracking days that you don't want kept in the data.

The plug is way too large and can block secondary plugs. The plug auto-defaults to off, so it has to be digitally or manually re-enabled each time.

But in the end, the energy tracking makes it worth it. I use it in my HVAC room to trigger a dehumidifier that will wake up and run when power is restored.

I bought it primarily for power monitoring and it works well for that,

I use it to control the heating element in an Engine , I have the schedule set up for every morning . The outlet works my schedule very nice . On/Off according to the schedule , works good . The electrical usage status is a nice feature for seeing what the current draw is , and that it is actually working .

Found these on Monoprice and ordered one. I was hesitant, after babysitting Wemos for a year and a half. After setup, these things are amazing. They are responsive, reliable and reconnect to Wifi after power is lost. They stay connected also! I highly recommend these!

worked just like the reviews.

Bought 3. None update cumulative usage in statistics. The one I had on my fridge shut off every morning even though it had no programs associated with it.

Setup was easy and it is working very well for us. Replaced an old fashioned timer with this - big improvement. Seems very reliable. Has a very handy switch on the side to manually override the schedule.

Works great to control power to my 3D printer. I like the power statistics feature too. App easy to install and configure on my iPhone.
