Smart Plug,DOGAIN Zigbee Smart Plugs Outlet Works with ST and Echo Plus Hub Voice Control Compatible with Alexa and The Google Assistant (Hub Required)(2 Pack)

Two for less than the cost of one Abode smart plug. Paired and functions with our Abode hub with no issues. The small size is also a plus.

I have used home automation for a good while now and can say that these plugs are a good value. They were extremely easy to pair with my SmartThings hub. Their profile leaves room for other devices to be plugged into the outlets (which wasn't always the case in the old days of x11). The on-off button works. So far they haven't failed with any of the automation routines that they are apart of, which are triggered multiple times a day.

These are great little zigbee plugs. Connection to Home Assistant was trouble free. Work as relays for extending your zigbee network, which is what I have most of mine doing. They do not provide any power monitoring, just switch control and relay.One word of warning for those that didn't read the spec sheet, like myself, these are rated for 10 amps not 15. They are not suitable for switching high power devices such as space heaters.

I bought these to replace an expensive GE smart plug that I bought 3 years ago and already died. It took me a while to find one that worked with SmartThings, as most smart plugs available now do not work with a hub. Out of the box, the 1st one of the pair set up easily and flawlessly. The 2nd one gave me a challenge, as it didn't want the software to recognize it in the installation process. I walked away for a while, and it worked when I came back. I've been running them for a couple months now, as part of automatic daily routines with lamps, and they've been reliable. For the money, I figure if I only get a year out of them, I'm still way ahead of the game, because they're about 1/6 the price of the same GE unit that I purchased back in 2018.

I've bought several of these since they seemed to be a good price.So far 3 out of 8 have failed. One I had only used for 3 weeks and it failed already.They may look like a good value but if the failure rate is this high then they don't seem so good at twice the price. And that's if the rest stay working. And right now I don't have much hope of that.EDIT:Since initially adding this review 2 more of these have stopped working. so that makes the failure rate over 50%.Don't buy them. I know I won't be buying them ever again.

I purchased them for my home assistant application for some lights and they work great every time with quick response time

Connected easily to My Hubitat.

Zigbee setup was a snap. Work great with Home Assistant. Unfortunately, one died in about a year and the other died a bit under two years.
