Pretty good smart plugs. I ordered two of these insignia plugs. Pairing was pretty easy. Two important things to know: one, be familiar with how to do a factory reset because sometimes they freeze and won't do anything. I use mine with Alexa and sometimes the two don't quite work together as they should and a factory reset of the plug was an quick and easy fix. Alexa was never the issue in my case. A factory reset may also be the fix if you are unable to pair the plug to your wifi. To do a factory reset you will need to remove the plug from the wall and hold the on/off button and reinsert it into the wall while continuing to hold the on/off button. Continue to hold until you here a click, with takes about 4 seconds. Then you should be all set to install/reinstall it as instructed. The second thing to know is to make sure you enable the insignia skill through your alexa app if you plan to pair these plugs with your alexa device(s). Overall even with its little glitches I would still recommend them.Read full review

It's hard to get them to connect to WiFi often. But once they do they're pretty standard. Sometimes if they loose connection you have to delete them and reset them to connect. These issues are likely why they are discontinued. If your buying one now it's a past version. But these are cheeaap. It's nice on a budget.

Product arrived very fast and was new in the box as described. Didn't take much to set up or connect to the app and the WiFi. I'm using the timer function and it works well so far. Sometimes it turns on outside of the time and doesn't turn off when expected. Not a problem, with the App I'm able to turn it off. Was able to set up the room and give the plug a name relatively easy. Setting the timer was just as easy.

When I got these plugs (bought 2 of them) had varying experiences...the first one was so easy to set up on the Insignia app...instructions do not tell you that for it to work with ALEXA you need to enable the Insignia Skill in ALEXA ...then it will work fine. The second one I bought gave me a heck of a time to get it set up in the Insignia app...it just did NOT want to work correctly...the app kept saying call failed when trying to register new plug but with ALOT of patience and stubborness, I persevered and now it is working just fine. The plugs are great at this price point the app....that could use some work but, on the bright side, once all got hooked up haven't had hardly any problems. Word if caution, sometimes when you instruct ALEXA to turn something on or off and she says OK but it diesn't turn on or off....give it a few moments...sometimes there is a lag but not often. Also, if there is a problem within the connection between the plug and the Insignia app, ALEXA will tell you it is unable to do as requested because of a problem with the specific plug...when this happens, check your Insignia app to fix from there. Hope this helps clarify that it does work with Alexa and how to go about setting it all up.Read full review

These work as listed and I have had no problems with the application interface. Easy to set up and they do work as listed. The scheduling works great for home security and such. My main issue has to do with the lack of Echo/Alexa support, they state they are working on an update to the app or skill but have no eta for this upgrade. If they can get it working seamlessly with Echo it would be a great little product and I would for sure buy another 3 pack.
