Amazing product just 1 con
I recently purchased the Amazon Basics Single Outlet Indoor 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Smart Plug (4-Pack), and I am genuinely impressed with the value and functionality they offer.Pros:Easy Setup: Setting these up was a breeze! The instructions are straightforward, and within minutes, all four plugs were connected to my Wi-Fi and linked to Alexa. No technical headaches at all.Alexa Integration: If you’re already in the Alexa ecosystem, these plugs are perfect. Voice commands like “Alexa, turn on the lamp” work instantly, and the responsiveness is spot-on.Compact Design: The plugs are compact, so they don’t block adjacent outlets, which is a common issue with other smart plugs. I’ve installed them on power strips and wall outlets with no problem.Affordable 4-Pack: Getting four smart plugs at this price is an absolute steal. It’s perfect if you’re just starting to smarten up your home or need additional plugs for multiple rooms.Reliable Connection: The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection is stable. I haven’t experienced any dropouts, even with all four plugs running simultaneously.ConIt wont work with the university wifi network like eduroam.
Excellent Price, Easy to Set-up and as good as the Hive Equivalent.
The last of my two Hive plugs broke, one lasted 7 years, the previous one 5 years. I wanted to replace them but Hive plugs are almost £40 these days!I was encouraged to see Amazon Basics do an Alexa compatible plug for just a tenner. It does everything the Hive plug did and I could buy four of these for the price of one Hive plug, and there’s no operational difference. I’m happy using the Alexa app to control my devices, both this and the Hive devices. Other than a quick set-up of my on/off schedule via the Alexa app (which actually has more options than Hive, such as sunset and sunrise as times), there’s no difference in operation at all. Fits my needs very well and was only a tenner!
Fair, now good but width a problem
Not as easy to set up as the original Amazon Smart Plug.For some reason the frustration free setup failed and setting it up manually took several attempts.Unit is wider than a standard plug and may not fit in some dual sockets.Actual width 58.5 mm. It projects 41.2 mm from the power socket.Update: I have now fully configured the plug using a standard ADSL WIFI router with no problems. During configuration your configuration device needs to be within arms length of the plug as the Bluetooth range (only used during configuration) is very limited. Like many IoT products it is very difficult to configure using a cellular WIFI router, although once configured they often work with one – strange.In use the plug is slightly slower to respond that the original Amazon rectangular plug.There is a green LED that indicates output power on/off and the reset/override button is more accessible on the top.I will probably buy more. The advantage is that there is only one cloud interface, third-party devices often use their own cloud that then links to the Amazon cloud – two chances of downtime.Update: 2 of the 3 units were marked Amazon Warehouse. One was obviously a customer return and I never managed to set it up. The other AW works, but has low wi-fi sensitivity. It was not obvious from webpage that warehouse goods were to be supplied. Not very happy. Out of 3 bought, one new one works perfectly, one just about works and the third returned. Amazon can do better than this.UPDATE: I have recently purchased a four pack. These were definitely new and installed easily. These represent very good value for an Alexa cloud item.Another Update:There is a strange feature with these plugs that I have never come across before. Each time you command a change of switch state , OFF – ON or ON – OFF, the plug goes offline for about 2 minutes and then works normally. It looks as if the plug completes the command, reports back success and then does a reset before re-establishing WI-FI connection. The device reports ‘offline’ during this event. This accounts for the time interval. Why is a mystery, no other IoT device does this.
Finally, a Wi-Fi plug that just works!
I’ve had a nightmare trying to get some other smart plugs to work with my dual-band router (2.4 & 5G). For those, I had to mess with turning off 5G, fiddling with admin pages, and even third-party apps—it was a real headache.However, this plug is a dream in comparison. It’s an official Amazon product, no third-party software required, and it connected straight away. Setup was simple, quick, and hassle-free. I’m genuinely chuffed with how easy it was, especially compared to the others I’ve struggled with.If you want a plug that just works without jumping through hoops, this is it.
