Works better than another brand that is now in the trash
My two gosund plugs and my power strip no longer connect to either gosund app or back to Alexa. Spent frustratingly too much time reading forums etc and trying to sort it out. No. I don’t also want to pay for a subscription for whatever additional value you think I need from a smart plug. No, I don’t need to use your app to see my power usage on a plugged in lamp…just turn it on and off.Time to throw that brandij the trash and try something else. Enter Amazon basic smart plugs. Great price for a four pack at my time of purchase around $20 and stellar reviews and sales.Within five minutes I had my plugs connected. Go to Alexa app. Add new plug, Amazon basics. Is the plug connected? Yes, yes it is… as I sat there holding it in my hand. Scan the QR code on the back of the plug, don’t worry about the piece of paper, and the search begins. Plug it in. Alexa found it immediately. Didn’t take long to connect. Names it as first plug, second plug, etc. The app asks if you want to add it to a group. You can also audibly tell Alexa, “Change first plug name to (whatever you choose)” she confirms your instruction then renames it for you and it flips it in the app in a moment as well.Now I can turn on my living room when I walk in at night and I not have to walk over to one lamp and turn the knob like some commoner. My other lamp has a smart bulb which still works just fine. Checked, it’s not a gosund. Mwahaha.So screw you gosund and thank you yet again Amazon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Smart Plug – Simple, Reliable, and a Game-Changer!
I’ve been using the Amazon Basics Smart Plug for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Setup was incredibly easy, all I had to do was scan the QR code, and it connected to my Wi-Fi within seconds. No complicated instructions, no fuss.One of the features I appreciate most is how simple it is to create routines. Whether it’s turning off lights at a specific time or managing devices while I’m away, this smart plug makes automation a breeze. I now have them in nearly every socket in my home, and they’ve made my daily life much more convenient.It’s especially handy at night if I forget to turn off a light, I can just do it from my phone without getting out of bed. Overall, this is a great product that delivers exactly what it promises. Highly recommend for anyone looking to smarten up their home effortlessly!

Great Alexa addon
I had debated for a while whether I needed this type of plug in the house. I have three Echo’s and a bulb. I use them a lot. I found that there were a couple lamps that I kept leaving on if I walked out of that room and forgot to turn them off. The setup was nice and easy, as usual, and I have been using them. Now I can save the money and still be too lazy to go turn off a lamp.

They work
Plugged the things in and everything took care of itself, with the plugs showing up in the app. What I don’t like, I don’t see a way to set the WiFi segment they are connected to. They happened to pick the right network for me, but having multiple networks setup for different things, it could have been a problem if they connected to the wrong one.

So convenient
I love the convenience of being able to have my Alexa turn off lights or whatever may be plugged into the plug. No more running upstairs to turn off night lights and fans left on by my kids. It was easy to pair with the Alexa app and compatible to be easy to use.

Amazing little invention!
Sometimes you buy things for fun when you purchase them and have no idea how much that same product can be a big help in another situation later on. This is one of those products that help make life easier and helps in way you didn’t know it would. I purchased these to use with my curio cabinets that hold my collections of crystals and minerals. I like to turn the lights on in them so I can appreciate the colors and beauty of them in the evenings. I appreciate that they are compatible with and connected quickly to the Alexa app so I can turn them on without having to get up from my comfy spot. You can label them for whatever you use them I the Alexa app. They are excellent quality.Recently, my husband had a spinal fusion surgery. This has been a tough surgery for him. Hes having to relearn how to do certain things. He can no longer bend at his waist, or twist his torso, so he can’t reach his lamp on his night stand to turn it on or off. I added one of these plugs to my husband’s lamp on his night stand and it has been such a convenient helper! Now he just tells Alexa to turn his lamp on or off and I don’t have to get up and go across the room to turn it off once he gets in bed. So helpful!

Amazon smart plug
Plugged in to wall and plugged lamp in and it connected to the Alexa app immediately with no problems. I already had one of these in another room so I knew that it was a good product to get.

Great to turning on lamps
These really help when I go on vacation for turning on my lamp and TV for background noise. I like how convenient they are and how you can access them from long distances.

This plug can’t find my network although it’s only 4 ft from the router! All my neighbour’s networks appear but not my two. I have the latest version of the app, I’m on the 2.4 G network, I’ve rebooted my phone and router and reset the plug to pairing mode several times, nothing seems to work!
