Devices malfunctioning

I have one of the smart plugs, and whenever my device disconnects from the WIFI network (often due to poor connection at certain times of day), my plug will repeatedly turn on and off for up to 5 minutes. Really annoying and no other way to end this loop than physically unplugging the device. This is really annoying (and lowk scary at night because why tf are my lights seizing out) - a refund would be nice ๐Ÿ˜

What a find

I canโ€™t recall when or how I acquired these units, 4 in all and I must say that they made the holidays so much simpler with their timer feature. They were easy to pair and easy to program. I donโ€™t know how secure the wifi connection is and since I only use them for Christmas lighting, I donโ€™t see this as a big issue. Overall, I think theyโ€™re great.

Ok, but!

Edit: (oct 7th 2024) there is a slight issue with the timerโ€ฆ if you use the โ€œinchingโ€ feature it actually interferes with the โ€œscheduledโ€ timer - for example i have mine set to turn on at 2am & turn off at 6:30am to charge my phone while sleepingโ€ฆ
but during the day i had another device that needed a charge while i did some errands so set the โ€œinchingโ€ feature for 30 minutes & it worked great โ€” device got the charge it needed & the plug turned offโ€ฆ. Well here is the issue - later when the over night schedule turned on - it turned OFF 30 minutes laterโ€ฆ not getting the full time.
In my opinion this feature needs to have a firmware update so that it work properly as to NOT interfere with such schedules

Original (oct 4th 2024):

This app works wonderfully , I have one of the smart plugs set up with the timer to turn on EVERY night around 2am & off at 6amโ€ฆ just so my iPhone can charge each night & slowly it gets use to that time so the BatteryOptimization settings will get use to it - saving battery life (I probably can adjust it down another 2 hours in future)

HERE is the BUT: I donโ€™t like how there is NO options to delete the โ€œswitch logโ€ - or even having a way to disable the โ€œswitch logโ€ from even being saved in the first placeโ€ฆ personally I would prefer it to not save that - as there really is no reason for it.

Device is useless

Outdoor Smart Plug will not connect to wifi, keeps getting the timeout error. Waste of time and money.

Cannot get set up

My husband tried several times and I tried several times. Neither of us can get this to connect! We have both connected numerous devices to Bluetooth on our iPhones. This one will not connect. It was a complete waste of money!
