TOPGREENER TGWF115PRM Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring,
Smart Outlet, Control Lights and Appliances from Anywhere, No Hub Required,
White, Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
Another product that provides mixed emotions. It took way longer than it should have to set it up. The instructions are clear. You download the phone app and it is supposed
to find the outlet. It did,
eventually. Even when I was 6 feet from
my router it took two tries to get it seen.
Once it was seen, I moved it to the location I wanted to use it and
tried the phone commands. Worked just
fine.
Connecting it to Alexa could have been smoother. Four times it showed under devices and yet
Alexa could not find it with a verbal command.
I told Alexa to forget it and tried again. Finally the fourth time it showed and it
worked.
Topgreener claims to have a two year warranty. I registered on their site and tried to find
my Wi-Fi smart plug. Couldn’t find
it. In fact I saw no link for
registration. So their website needs
some work.
Overall, it works now and I can remotely turn off and on
devices through my phone or through Alexa.
It was just a bit tedious getting it done.
Keep in mind, I’m old school, I’ve been hearing plug and
play for over 20 years and frankly there still are darn few devices that are
“easily” plug and play.

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
