On checkout screen, it'll be indicated as checked - so just uncheck it.

Blanchy90 · 16-08-2018 9:53am

I forgot to remove it, ah well it was less than €2

What do I need apart from these plugs to make them work, was thinking of using these for when I'm away for the lights.

bertie4evr · 16-08-2018 11:05am

Still working. I just got 3 for 21 quid.

Just the ewelink app

antodeco · 16-08-2018 11:56am

Ordered 2 OP, thanks. I've been using the WeMo plug, but at €45+ for 1 plug, I couldn't justify getting another 1. Will give these a go.

I currently fly use these for setting garden lights in timers. Extremely handy. What I did was out a plug extender on the WeMo plug, so all the lights come on together. Would be nice to have separate controls for the different lights.

So, just in case anyone was thinking about using this for a dryer/washing machine (if you have a night rate), just check the load rating on these first.

Do you need to port forward to use them from outside the home or are they smart enough to connect to the internet themselves?

No, they connect to an external service.. no port forwarding required.

Most of these smart plugs have "remote access" option. Basically, these plugs connect to a server. The app connects to a server. Once plug and phone have internet access, should be no problem. Any changes you make on the app are sent the server.

Thanks OP.... I ordered 3.

Had got 1 smart wifi plug in a bundle with the Amazon Alexa recently... although I still haven't taken it out of the packet.

Half thinking of setting up some anti-burglar measures if I'm away.
Eg. when the IP camera detects motion in the driveway, then turn on a plug connected to a light in the front bedroom...

Blanchy90 · 16-08-2018 12:37pm

Just bought 3 more for €18.86, when I went to order it said I had d points that could be used and gave me a further discount

MiskyBoyy · 16-08-2018 12:42pm

So what do people use these for?

I've a few tp-link ones I got cheap in Tesco and all I use them for so far is telling Alexa to turn on a floor lamp or turn on the aquarium lights.

I'm thinking of using it on the sitting room TV & set top box.
It's probably more energy efficient to turn off the plug during the night than leave them in standby mode.

Other uses I've seen are avoiding over-charging phones/tablets/devices... so turn off the plug after an hour or two of charging.

Or maybe turn on a battery charger every fortnight or so to top of emergency batteries you can leave in a charger permanently.

A timer switch to turn off childrens bedroom lights.

antodeco · 16-08-2018 1:32pm

If you really want a useful thing for these (if you have a coffee or tea with breakfast) is to set the plug for the same time as your alarm. This will then boil the kettle for you. Just make sure you have the switch down on the plug and it's filled with water!

Bought 6, order of 3 and 3, second batch was cheaper cause you use points. 6 cost me 35 in the end. Great deal. I hope they do well; planning 3 or 4 of them for christmas lights, and 2 for cabinet lights. Hopefully works well enough with Alexa
