iSmartPlug for Android
Its not so much about the apps per se, but the over all functional architecture. This is a very simple architecture with the only control option of the plug is on & off via buttons on your smart phone and/or timer controlled on & off actions. No ITTT or other 'smart' rule-based actions. It looks like the switch itself is solid and responsive, however, the apps has no further smart function rather switching it on and off. A bit of waste of potential, or simply lack of feature and interest or capability of the developer. I'm sure with the right interest the Developer can open it to smart systems like ITTT or other (home) automation. So my verdict is 'just OK', I will write a better response when it opens to the real smart world.
People are way too picky when reviewing this. Odds are that you paid less than $15 for the wifi plug like I did and this app does its job. It searches your LAN and works the wifi socket. If you want a better app and wifi socket, spend more rather than complaining here.
Randomly disconnects but plug remains in current state. When it reconnects the status may not be it's current state. Also a manual override seems to affect the correct operation of the daily timing function. Instructions.. Useless. Need to add uid first then setup each plug in turn. Blue led flash slow..not configured...fast means being configured.. Solid is ready. Factory reset..press and hold button for 30 secs... Blue led then flashes slowly. Better docs. Required. Security...how does it know my wan add
Wifi connection awful. Plug turns off for no reason. Light goes blue to red. Plug itself is sturdy, well made but worthless without a great wifi interface. I followed the directions and got it to work but it goes blue to red after a while and I have a strong wifi signal. It also needs dimmer controls. I suspect they are testing these from a few ft away instead of conditions in an average home and the plug signal is too weak. I can get it to work from 2ft but not 30 and my home is one story and open.
Ten minutes later the plug is no longer connected. Have to remove from app and start again. Works for 10 minutes then disconnects again. Needs fix.
So sad this doesn't work! Will not connect after multiple attempts. I'm going to have to return this...
Have reloaded the app twice have tried 2 separate router's. There is no help or trouble shooting available. Looking for help from the developer. I want the product to work. Wondering if i can use a better app?
Can't connect the Peralng Wi-Fi outlet to my network. Also tried with a tablet and an iPhone. Returning the product and uninstalling this junk.
Full function. Works great with my P2P 110v WiFi switch. There is a problem when switching WiFi networks.
Application will not connect to the wifi network, rendering the smart plug useless. Have tried with android as well as ios.
Most of the time it says system off line or connecting so the only way to get them to work is to unplug and plug back in. Does not serve the purpose they were designed for! Please fix these problems.
It works well, but it drains out the battery. The only solution for me is to FORCE STOP it when not in use.
When it works ? ? ? it's great. The problem is it keeps disconnecting
Please update..fix the bugs .. i cant turn on or off most of the time it just lost the connection while in the app if you search for new device it will show it online and already added but not functioning and shows offline when operating it
I purchased two of these Ismartplugs to use but only one will connect. When trying to connect the other plug to wifi it states that it is already connected. This app needs more work or a better explanation on how to use more than one.
worked for a week...now it disconnects and takes to long to reconnect
App only allows you to preset either a on time or off time, not both. Should ve an easy update?? If fixed 5 stars
I tried 5 times and app tells me to recheck password, I have in front of me and know it is correct,but your app can't connect
Yuck

This app is so poorly designed. When you phone is on a different wifi network, the app still tries to connect via LAN. A simple subnet check with option to change connect via LAN/Internet should solve this problem. Once the app crashes the plug has to be set up again. This happens on daily basis. Total useless
