WiWo for Android
Barely works at all. I find appliances that are plugged in to this turn on randomly. The timer settings are a joke there is really no point to even settings these. Hopefully there will be an update but buyer beware spend the extra $$ on a different brand.
When it works its a fantastic app, but very buggy. I have been using the s20's for a couple of years and now won't let me operate remotely, says wrong password but this isn't the case.
System not stable. Time zone issue. Unable to control via hanphone. Every time need to restore several only success connect denice
Countdown timer must work just if I press manually button on socket. For everything other I can programm timers. Scene max 200 seconds??? Why so short period?
Great concept but really doesn't work well. App freezes constantly and timer works maybe 50% of the time. Get developers to get the app right or your product will go down the tubes...
The App is very buggy. It takes over 2 minutes for the created timers to be shown in the App. The created timers don't always work to turn the smart outlet off and on. Also the smart outlet should remember its setting in the event of a power failure. Smart outlet always comes back on powered off, not providing electricity when there is a power failure. App communication needs improvement.
So I think this product is amazing but your app isn't so great. Device works great when my phone is on my wifi. When I use my phone off of wifi but still on Internet the plug refuses to work.
App works for basic operation, but as said by others has allot of bugs. I constantly get errors running this app, for which I simply close and reload it, then it works. Real annoying! Considering this is a product recommended by Amazon - you would expect a lot better app.
Does what it says very well, easy to setup, no extra hub needed. If uou want to turn on / off remotley this is great, timer is well useless but i didnt buy for that so im happy.
This is very dangerous and warning to other users on Orbivo S20. The bug is, when you restart your router - Orbivo S20 cannot detect the router, hence you might think that you have off your appliance but in fact it doesn't. This is a fire risk. Appreciate the developer come up with a quick solution on this as this will involve risk to human life.
When it works its great, but more more often I just getting a spinning circle when I try to turn an appliance on or off.
It works only when connected to WiFi not on mobile network which defeats the purpose of the switch. Waste of money.
I can't search any of my plugs... Using Samsung S7. With app on my ipad I can find all my Plugs. Could you pls investigate? Thanks
Ideal if you wan remote on/off the power. Except for setting timer only allow repeated setting. Should have option for one time setting.
Just purchased 4 unit, it working fine using wifi but not working properly using internet. Hope developer seriusly solved this problem.
I an a product buyer for Consumer Report. Tried this product, works great for sitting home around the houes and need something to turn on and off using Wi-Fi. The Box or manual does not say that this is only for Wi-Fi use only. Trying to using it away from home does not work properly. I give it two and a half Stars because it does what it needs to do on Wi-Fi but not what I wanted it to do away from home. There are other products that do it but a little more pricier.
At first the app was having problems but once support was contacted, they fixed the problem and now this is a great app that works awesome. 5 stars all the way!!! I still give this product 5 stars because the timer is working great and the switch works great also both when I am at home and away. The only issue I have been having is that when you open the app, the app says the switch is "OFF" and it is actually "ON" making it hard to know what is going on.
Had this for a while now..so recently reset the device because I wanted remote access but that didn't resolve the issue. Apart from that it works fine on wi-fi while my smart phone and this is on the same network. This facility used to work and even though I've reset the password many times it still states wrong password when I try to connect remotely!
There are a few caveats but once you figure it out. It works like a charm. If you reboot your wireless router, you need to turn on/off your S20s (I have 4 of them round the house) soon after to re-register them onto the network. You don't need to do it physically, just schedule them. E.g.I set my router to reboot once a week at 5am. Then schedule my S20 to turn on and off around 6am. The rest of the time it works great.
I'm sorry but this just became a waste of money. I was really happy with the product at first and the app was working fairly good. But for the last few months the app/socket will only work if connected to the same WiFi network. This is pretty much useless. Before I could power on/off the device remotely. Not possible anymore. Tried contacting them but nothing has yet been solved.
Everything works, including timer. I think people (including myself) didn't find the timezone settings with summer saving time. If manual on/off works, timer should also work. App is still clunky though.
After the update, 4G not working even restarting router or resetting the wiwo plug. Only home wifi can turn on n off power. Totally useless app now.
Doesn't work from remote. App sucks butt. I bought two and willing return. Loser for sure
Why don't you listen to what reviews are saying? Your app developer needs to start earning their money and pay attention. Used to work like a dream now crashes on startup (send report to us) and I have not been able to use this successfully in around 3 weeks when I used it several times everyday previously. UPDATE app update 9/3/16 fixed issue
The Timer Started Working. That's Good. But Doesn't Work Very Long. Immediately It Works But Given Any Time And It Fails To Activate Or As The Case May Be, Deactivate. Debug Please And Fix. Product Manufacturer Is Suffering Returns Due To Very Flawed Application.
At first the app was having problems but once support was contacted, they fixed the problem and now this is a great app that works awesome. 5 stars all the way!!!
The orbivo socket works well. The app is disappointing. Very basic and poorly designed. I would rate this product much higher if the app received a major upgrade.
Biggest issue I have is setting a timer it seems to be very buggy. Set one for 6pm and go off and 10pm. It went off at 10pm but then came back on 9am next morning. On its own. A bit of a fundimental flaw when sold with a timer option. Get that fixed and you're halfway to a decent product. The app is a bit too buggy generally and crashes a lot, more a pain, but with lack of stability comes lack of confidence. Left wondering when all the electronics are going to start lighting up on their own accord.
Just sent me a apk update 3.2.50, Not crashing now, been fine for a number of days. Previous :Like everyone else 95% of time app crashes after 2 seconds, need restart, continuously , uninstall reinstall sometimes give brief success but not for long. Fix it.
Looks great and works great if you just want to turn something on or off wherever you are. I bought this specifically for the timer and had it a day and cannot get the app to make it work reliably. Nothing wrong with plug, but at this moment the WiWo app NEEDS development.
I have 5 switches and after resetting all the switches and pairing them all at the same time everything is working perfectly. Including timers.
Timer used to work fine but since updates keeps crashing giving error messages when trying to set time zone.
You need to kill the app about fifty percent of the times you try to flip a switch, because it hangs. Hmm. Now it stopped working entirely complaining that "password is wrong" (turned out to be the message you get when the plug is switched off at the wall)
The app was great for both switching devices on and off and setting the timer. However, since the last update on my mobile the switches no longer work and the timer screen is blank. Thankfully, I haven't updated the app on my tablet so that works fine.
I could not get the timer to work. Some times fails even without timer
Hi had this for a little while now. Worked ok to start but now will not work via wifi,timer or gsm network.
Can't control over WiFi or cell for the last 2 updates
New update fixed my issue! How about one for Android wear! :)
Only just got the plug and what appears a great device is let down by poor app. Application hangs between screens, often with perminant hourglass. Would have expected a widget.

Had loads of trouble getting this to work with set timers and was working ok until last update.Now "Norton App advisor" keeps stating this app is "Malware" and I am forced to unnstall! CAN THE DEVELOPER PLEASE FIX THIS!! also can no longer use this to switch on and off when I'm away from home. This feature used to work.
