useless app did not recognize my KMC powerstrip
Scanned the qr code on the smart plug box. Set up 4 plugs and 2 automations in under an hour. Also would request that plugs can be renamed after set. Nvm found it app is good.
I can't add new plugs. It says my wifi has no internet connection, but I'm currently streaming tv through the same fast wifi connection. Device discovery failed. Yes, wifi and Bluetooth are turned on for my phone,and my internet works great throughout my house. Sad face. I'll buy a different brand in the future.
I love these. I can move them around as needed, nothing is hard- wired.
godawful integration across SmartThings and google home.
their devices work very well the app is good too
I love my KMC smart plugs
great, except for the stupid password bs
I haven't had any big issues like the ones reported in the one star reviews. I use the app to control a few "smart plug" devices which I've used to measure energy consumption of a number of household appliances. I've also used the timer capability to run a dehumidifier only during night hours. The scheduling operation for smart plugs needs uninterrupted network connectivity, so I wouldn't recommend using this for anything critical, like medical devices or freezers with expensive contents.

“very annoying and was waste of time and money.”
“In the prior app there was a way to make a group and in this version you have to add devices to a Tap-to-Run group and it's very slow as you have to add them…”
“That said, it is by far the most difficult of any brand I have found that also connects to Alexa.”
