Hi, I’m Rachel Murphy, Reviewed’s smart home staff writer. Wyze may still be carving out a name for itself in the smart home space, but this smart plug packs a big punch, offering exceptional value for any Alexa or Google-enabled smart home. The plug doesn't offer real-time energy monitoring, but the app tracks the daily and weekly runtime for the plug to help give you a sense of your average energy usage. There’s a power button on the side, for when you need to physically control the plug, and the LED status light on the front is a handy visual cue that relays the plug's power status. There's also a special setting called Vacation Mode, which can turn your devices on and off at random times to give the appearance that someone is home.Īs for design, this compact 15 amp model looks like most others with its front-facing socket and rectangular design that doesn’t block the second outlet. The plug offers scheduling and automation features, as well as a timer. Overall, Wyze’s smart plug was responsive to our voice commands and in-app controls. HomeKit users may be disappointed to find that there is no support for Apple’s Siri but that’s not uncommon in the space. We didn't run into any issues when using the Wyze app with Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to control this smart plug. It’s also one of the only smart plugs in our guide that offers two-factor authentication, an important security feature that alerts you immediately when someone tries to gain access to your account, and a shared device user list to help you keep tabs on who has access to your plug. It maintains a strong and stable connection to help control your devices whether you’re sitting on the couch or the other side of the world, and the setup process is a cinch.
