Where has this been all my life
I am so happy to have discovered the Merkury Innovations Wi-Fi Smart Plug.. First of all, it is so simple to use You simply plug it into any outlet, then plugbthebitem you want to use with it into the unit, and done!! You now have control of whatever you have plugged in. Simply download the app, plug in and connect. You can now control your fan, lights tv and more fromm your phone. No more getting up at night to turn the light off. Now I can turn it off from my phone. I now have purchased several of these so I can control all of my lights and more. Easy to install and use, I would indeed recommend.

Piece of junk! Impossible to setup.
I'm very experienced in smart devices, so figuring out setup is not an issue for me; however, I've done about everything I can do and this device will never finish installation. I've tried more than 10 times, and I always get a “Device Installation Timeout” error message. Junk! It doesn't matter how cheap it is if it doesn't work.

    I love this smart plug
    This is my second Merkury device that I buy. Each one was super easy to start using. They both respond extraordinarily fast. I just love the fact I don't need to get up and turn off my fan anymore. It also has many features like how many bourse you want it on, set up a time you want it on or off. You can also group all your Merkury devices. Just so convenient. My other device is a multi color lightbulb. Oh did I mention you can turn the plug manually too!

    Great if you want a smart home
    I received a Merkury Innovations smart wifi plug. Note that this does require 2.4 GHz wifi. Setup was a breeze and it paired nicely with the Alexa. This plug is easy to use with voice commands with Alexa. As for the app, it is convenient to use and turn your smart plug on and off remotely. I am able to turn my lamp on remotely, to make it appear as if I am home even if I am not. This is a freaky nice safety feature for me being a single female. I plan on buying more of these for other rooms in my house. They are great if you want to convert your home into more of a smart home.

    Simple to configure! I need more!
    This Smart Plug is so simple to connect- just like connecting any Bluetooth device! Took me all but 1-2 minute to Download app, register, and connect. I like that it doesn't take over/block the other socket in the wall. You can set an alarm to turn it he device off or on. I have an iPhone so it was the same way I set my daily alarms, so it was really simple for me. Testing was fun as I had my young children involved but they were amazed that I was able to set the fan to come on before we got back to the house. I haven't tried it with anything heavy duty such as my AC but that's because my AC has a timer on it already. Overall, I think this is a pretty easy gadget to use and I'm not the most tech savvy mom lol. I certainly can use at least to be more of these smart plugs!

    Flawless Installation!
    As a family that is moving forward with technology, I love that Merkury Innovations has created a smart Wi-Fi smart plug. All I had to do was download the Geeni app to my smart phone and setup. I chose to use this smart plug with my coffee maker because I often worry about forgetting to turn it off when I leave my home. With this plug, it's just one less thing to worry about! It works well with my google assistant. Such a handy little device that I will definitely be purchasing a few more of this smart plugs!

    Can't connect
    I was so excited to receive this smart plug but was extremely disappointed because I can't get this plug to work no matter what I try. I have literally exhausted all attempts. I own two other brands of smart plugs and had absolutely no trouble at all connecting those. I have literally tried everything over and over many times and still doesn't work and it's beyond frustrating. I downloaded the app and registered and I know that it only works on 2g (not 5g) and I know my WiFi password is correct. I have reset my router and also deactivated everything in my home that's on wifi (as suggested if there's a weak wifi signal) and none of these steps worked. I just keep getting the error message unable to add device. I figured maybe for some reason, it's possible it's my phone and not the device so I had my husband try it on his phone (I have an iPhone and he has a Android) and he got the same results. I guess it's possible I received a defective plug because like I said, nothing I try works. I even tried to use the Alexa app to add the plug but that didn't work either so I can't recommend this product because unfortunately, it just doesn't work for some reason.

    Saves so much time & energy
    I will admit that I had no idea how to use a smart plug. I was a little nervous but this smart plug from Merkury was so easy to use and understand. The instructions were easy peasy and I set it up right away. What I love the most about this smart plug is that I can set my electronics up before I am even in my house!! My favorite is getting my coffee maker to start coffee before I get home from work. By the time I get home, my coffee is ready with no effort from me! I am so excited to learn more about the world of smart devices and I know I can trust Merkury products along the way.

    useful
    This device works great & is easy to use for what it does. It allows you to turn an outlet on & off from virtually anywhere using the mobile app. It fits in a standard outlet without blocking other outlet, which I really like. However, it only works with things like coffee makers or lamps (light bulbs) that can be left with the switch on so when you turn the Merkury plug on it turns on whatever is plugged into it. With things like TVs that need to be powered up with a separate remote you would only be able to turn off with this device, not turn on. When installing the Geeni app on my phone, it continuously asked for my location. I generally only allow location services on apps that absolutely need it. The constant request for location was annoying.

    Smart and functional
    The Merkury Innovations Wi-Fi Smart Plug is a great addition to any smart home. It uses 2.4 wifi, is easy to install and easy to set up. I like the ability to control my appliances and like that it works with google and can be controlled with the app or by voice. Great addition in my home.
