A whole new smart world

We bought this to work with Alexa and we love it. It’s a way better deal than the individual plugs. We use this for our coffee pot, a light and a room heater, and we still have one we don’t know what to do with. We then programmed Alexa to start the coffee pot when you say the magic phrase (“start my day”) and the coffee pot turns on. I can also do this from my phone in bed now. The light control is obvious. The heater is nice because we can turn it on when on the way home and it helps get the room warm faster. I happen to be a flight attendant and being able to turn it on from the airport is super handy. By the time I get home, the room is comfortable. Now if you don’t have Alexa or the google mini, you can still use this. There’s a free app called the geeni app that will turn your phone or tablet into the WiFi remote. I found out about the geeni app from a single plug I bought at Target, and I was relieved to see that Geeni is an app that works with Alexa. It also finds a ton of other smart controllable devices like my nest thermostat. Finally, in case you were wondering, the four usb plugs are all on one on-off switch. There is also a button that you can push to activate and turn on all of the plugs just in case your remote control device is nowhere to be found.
