Amazon Basics Smart In-Wall Outlet, Works with Alexa Only, Individually Controlled Outlets, Voice Control, WiFi, 15 Amps, 2.4 GHz, No Hub Required, White

Happy with the purchase. Cheaper than other smart outlets but only works with Alexa. It's perfect for my full Amazon Alexa household. Easy to connect and replace an existing outlet. Requires live, neutral wires with an addition of ground protection. Has a clean look. Connects to Alexa app easily. Each outlet can be control individually. Very responsive.! Only minor con is that it's slightly thicker so the surface protrudes out of the wall by about a quarter inch.

Exactly what we needed: a smart outlet that had the ability to individually name and control each of the two outlets separately. How we use it: Our home has an extensive Lutron automation system which is fabulous. And a great feature is that it integrates with Alexa to bring voice control to our whole home. However, Lutron does not make a controllable duplex outlet - go figure / makes no sense. That's where these outlets come in a fill the gap. While we cannot control them with the Lutron system, since we now do everything via Alexa voice control (or pre-programmed Routines), these integrated easily with routines and schedules appropriate for our use. We have three of them controlling mood lights, display lights, and holiday lights (including the Christmas tree during season). If you wonder, these are identical to the ones sold at Home Depot with the following exception. If you use the app that comes with the HD ones, you can control them individually. But if you integrate them with Alexa, the duplex is controlled as one, not individually. Since Alexa control was key to how we "speak to our house", the HD ones had to go back and these from Amazon replaced them, working perfectly. Highly Recommended

I have two Echo Dots. For about two years, I used my first Echo Dot, “Alexa”, as little more than an alarm clock, timer, music player, etc. After buying my second Dot, “Ziggy”, I started setting up routines, and decided to set up a way to automatically turn my living room lamps on and off. For that, I needed an Alexa-enabled smart device, and bought the Amazon Basics smart in-wall outlet to control the lamps through Alexa. The installation instructions were clear, and the only ”difficult” part was stuffing the new switch and wiring into the shallow outlet box in my older home. You will be hard-wiring the smart outlet. Figuring out how to set everything up with the Alexa app CAN be relatively easy at times, but using the app is NOT intuitive. For starters, you’ll use the app to set everything up. In my case, I customized the names for each lamp and assigned them to the “living room”. That lets me control each lamp by itself, or both at once. Over time, I recommend you take time to explore the app to see the kinds of things Alexa can do for you. I’ve been using the smart outlet for about 6 months now. From the very first day, the outlet has never given me any trouble. While I sometimes have to reset my Dots, on the other hand, once installed, I NEVER thought about the outlet again until I changed my Internet provider two weeks ago and had to change the WiFi setup for the smart outlet. Bottom line: The smart outlet was inexpensive, easy to install and set up. It has never had any connectivity issues. The outlet instantly responds to voice commands. I can recommend this outlet without hesitation.

Easy to install into my existing deep single gang electrical box. Super easy to set up on the Alexa app. App recognized the outlet right away. Setting up routines was a bit harder as the app had updated and the instructions with the outlet were different than the update. After Googling and YouTubing for information I finally just asked my echo dot to set up the routines for me. That worked the best.

Great product which saves having to have two smart plugs, with a sleeker look and great functionality! Very easy to set up, as are all Amazon Alexa-enabled smart devices. Install yourself if you are handy and have the correct tools, otherwise call a licensed electrician.

When some older smart plug modules lost their mojo, I decided to replace a couple wall outlets with these instead. It was a good decision. Each outlet can control a separate lamp using Alexa commands. Small green lights indicate when each outlet is on. They can be toggled on and off with a fingertip.

A great product. Highly recommended!!

If you’re looking for something to activate on-demand, perhaps this is your item. If you need something that will work on a routine, not so much. In my case I need this to control outside lights to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise. Seems simple enough until you try to set it up in the Alexa app. So far, my experience in a week of screwing around with the app has been everything from not coming on at all, coming on but shutting off a few hours later to coming on and not shutting off at all until I manually shut it off well into the daylight hours. The app does little to inform you of the current operating routine, other than yo inform you that a routine is active (doesn’t tell you what the routine is) and that the light is either on or off, or that it has lost communication (seems to have no problem regaining communication when I send an on or off command). Calls to Amazon customer service have thus far gone unreturned. Unfortunately, this is exactly what I expected from Amazon. The product this is replacing, made by Belkin, worked great for several years until that company decided to no longer sell smart plugs or support their products, rendering their products obsolete and unusable. Apparently now I’m stuck having to buy and return products from a few manufacturers before finding one that functions properly again

Easy to install and sets up almost seemless with Alexa

Lo compré porque leí en los comentarios que sí se podía utilizar en México. Tuve un inconveniente al colocarlos en la pared porque la caja de instalación está un poco grande, sí cabe en los registros/chalupas, pero si hay más cables no se puede colocar. Me costó trabajo, pero estos fueron los pasos que hice ya instalados para conectarlos con Alexa: 1. Cambié mi cuenta a EEUU. Entré al link de preferencias de Kindle y cambié la configuración de paías a Estados Unidos: https://www.amazon.com/hz/mycd/myx#/home/settings/payment 2. Abrí la App de Alexa desde mi celular > Agregar dispositivos > Enchufe > Marca Amazon Basics 3. Te da varias opciones, yo elegí "Toma de corriente empotrada" > Si > ¿No tienes un Código? 4. Sigues las instrucciones para activar el modo vinculación hasta que parpadee en verde y rojo. 5. Esperas, te pide que selecciones el WIFI y listo. Los nombra Primer Enchufe y Segundo Enchufe. Solo hace la función de conectar o desconectar la corriente, si quieren funciones especiales hay que hacer rutinas en la app.

Justo lo que buscaba, un enchufe que fuera montado dentro de la pared, no tuve que hacer nada para vincularlo a mi cuenta de Alexa, en cuanto subí el switch de la corriente se vinculó en automático, tardo un par de minutos parpadeando uno de los leds verdes y en cuanto recibí la notificación en la app de que se habían agregado 2 dispositivos nuevos, dejo de parpadear. No tuve que cambiar mi cuenta de país, estando en México mi cuenta se configuró el enchufe solo. No sé si tenga que ver que cuando lo estaba comprando, me apareció una opción que acepte de vincularlo a mi cuenta de Alexa para una configuración rápida.

Easy install and works like a charm. Much better that bulky plugs hanging from the outlet

Siendo Noviembre 2024, no tuve problemas para usarlo en México. Se puede controlar con voz en español con cualquier Alexa, o bien desde la app de Alexa. Fácil de instalar porque viene etiquetado con fase, tierra y neutro. Sólo no le pungo cuatro estrellas porque no tiene muchas funcionalidades por defecto. Sólo prender y apagar cada uno de los tomacorrientes. Si quieres timers, apagado automático y demás, debes configurar tus propias rutinas.
