I wanted a smart plug to be able to control a light in my farmhouse remotely, so I thought I would give this one a try. Excellent choice. This plug is well made out of good quality materials. Fit and finish are excellent. Simple configuration using the downloadable app. Works well with Alexa. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

I've purchased a handful of Merkury products, mostly computer or electronic accessories. They have all worked as expected, including this SmartPlug. I got it mainly to be able to turn a lamp on and off in my home when I am not home, using my smartphone. It does take some time to set up, requiring a proprietary app, which in turn requires a free account using email and a wifi password. I am not sure I entirely trust the security of the device, but it does what I need. My real rating would be 3.5 stars, not four, primarily due to the hassle of setting it up.

I've used their bulbs before and this switch was easy to setup. You have to use their App, Geeni, which requires an account (only email address needed). The App does require giving access to Wifi password - if this is an issue - just buy a cheap Wifi router and create a subnet with a dummy Wifi password. You plug in the device into socket and turn it on and use the app to detect and load it on.You can plug a lamp in and can use the app to switch on an off manually. Also, there are a plethora of rules you can make (time, date, brightness, days, etc).Highly recommend!

The plug is well made and relatively small, enough not to stand out when plugged into an outlet. It stays snug when plugged in, and the design is clean. The instructions are reasonably well-written and easy to follow.There are a couple of detractors:- I could not connect to this plug with my pre-existing apps, so I had to download another smart home app with yet another account and password to remember.- Connecting it to their app and putting the plug into pairing mode is straightforward. You will need to create an account, and you might be tempted to use the integration with Gmail. But when you try to install the Alexa integration, the Gmail integration will not work (security violation), forcing you to create another account with a different email than the initial email account. This will force you to pair the device again with the new account.- Gmail integration is broken for the Alexa app. See above note if you plan to use it with Alexa.If you have made it this far, congratulations! you now can control your plug with Alexa! At this point, if works well and as expected.

Got this to turn a crock pot on/off while we are away from the house. May also use it to control some decorative lights. And I found it generally easy to install/setup. I just used the app, not Alexa. May try that later, but haven't so far. Only complaint was that in the app when you add the device it says that it's "updating". But after 10 minutes I just clicked out of that screen and went back to the home screen and it worked fine to turn the plug on/off. So not sure why it never cleared that "updating" status. But otherwise it was very straight forward. Overall happy with this smart plug.
