[@fame1611]

Hello and thanks for the review. I have one question though that depends on me buying the plug or not. Does it keep the device connected to it off after a power outage?

[@athlonzero]

I'm planning to use it in my router will still work even if the router is off if set on scheduled ?

[@azrailbh1680]

bought it today.. its great only thing i dont like its that it dont show power consumption

[@mitriada]

Can you do power cycle if you have connected the router at the same socket? What I mean is... If you set a schedule and the device goes offline, will the schedule be applied???

[@petlla1]

Can it mesure how much electricity you are consuming in month?!

[@llIGeeIll]

The previous version using Zigbee connection could measure the consumption, for some reason they took out this feature from this one (at least in the EU version for sure).

[@joeroganpodfantasy42]

​@@llIGeeIllI think it doesn't have enough memory without being connected to gateway this one is WiFi so

[@tahartrifi9974]

what about swith on a TV or other divices without a physical botton ? i turn on my Ac or Tv with a remote control .... so is it possible with ?

[@Baldur_1]

Bravo

[@pfgoncalves]

After the schedule is set, the internet connection can be down and it starts?

[@leawillsen]

Friend. if I install this on a water pump, then schedule evening off and morning on, can it automatically repeat every day? Or can it only be done for one day and tomorrow I have to reschedule again? Thank You

[@Sunstepa]

Does countdown works with turn off power?

[@malisuwardi4297]

I did the same, but No Luck ... is country option has affect on it ??

[@MateSantha99]

Best youtuber of all Time ! Keep up the good work!

[@recanything]

Thanks!

[@petlla1]

I ned smart plug that cann meter the kwh consumption and it kan take till 2,2-2,5kw. Does enyon know where to by?

[@khalilahmed4169]

Will it support 2 horse power motor About 1500 watts

[@DaRkRuLL3z]

Can you operate the socket from a distance through other network (wifi or data)? Or you have to be connected in the same wifi as the socket?

[@recanything]

Yes, you can. I'm doing it via 4G

[@alexandreramos9375]

Thank you very much for the review and tutorial! Do you happen to know if it will still turn on as you schedule if you lose the internet connection? So for example, if you schedule it to turn on at 7 AM. but during the night your internet turns off for some reason, will the plug still turn on as scheduled?

[@recanything]

Yes, most of the times it does start if you have electricity power, but sometimes it fails (it happened twice for me).

[@alexandreramos9375]

@@recanything Thank you very much

[@stylefreaks]

Can you turn off your internet and see if it works on local network? I think it will not.

[@shusterme]

does it tell you the power consumption or any kind of indicator?

[@A46648]

No it cant do that

[@ulti1000]

Hello good video! Can you please test out for me if you turn off the plug while there is a timer on and then turn the plug back on will the timer keep going and not get disturbed and didn't lose its designated time set? Thanks

[@ulti1000]

also I mean turn off the whole power of it and not the socket to see what will happen if there was a power cut or something

[@HooMiiii]

@@ulti1000 i have same question, also if router goes offline and come back online, does this device connect to it automatically or needs someone to connect is again ?

[@ulti1000]

@HooMan Y So after some time I did purchase the device, and to answer your question, yes it does connect automatically to your network. Once you set it up, it will ask you the WiFi you wish to choose and it will stay on that. By the way, when the power of the plug turns off and comes on the timer stays on what it was.

[@MrPoliarinis]

Does its shows consumption ? Because otherwise it makes no sense

[@gidra85]

I bought it just to see power consumption and nothing... can not find that function... Please let me know if I am doing something wrong... Thank you

[@burakbbilgin]

does that show power consumption ?

[@recanything]

No

[@ayushdudedon]

Once connected and set, can you control the plug with the phone on mobile data only

[@recanything]

Yes

[@gabrielvladarean3292]

Hello and thank you for your video. Please, I want to use it with air conditioning. I want the AC to start for 5 minutes and then stop for 10 minutes. Is it possible to do this with this device?

[@recanything]

Yes, it is possible, but it is quite complicated to do the setup, and sometimes it fails to start. So in the end, I choose to manually start and stop it from the application. Thanks

[@gabrielvladarean3292]

@@recanything it.s impossible to stay all night long to switch it manually every 5 or 10 minutes. If I leave the AC all night working it gets too cold. If I stop it, of course, it gets too hot. So I was trying to find a way to work a few minutes and then stop. Why is that complicated to set up?

[@recanything]

@@gabrielvladarean3292 Because you have to select each hour and minute for each operation...and you have to do that close to 80 times to cover the full day...I don't even know if this occurrence is possible. I tested it with my petrol powered heating system, but my schedule was like this: 1h working, 1h stop...and so on. And it worked fine, but if failed to start several times...I don't know why. My advice to you is to buy one and try it...it's not so expensive

[@sabinpantis4149]

Se poate seta pe zile?

[@recanything]

Da, se poate, din aplicatie

[@victorkilo8427]

So you cant control energy consumption

[@trainingtraining706]

The best smart plug!

[@solomulti8494]

Please set up with alexa and this smart plug

[@luqman2626]

This is just another way of controlling the traditional 3 pin plug. You still need manually turn on the TV using tv remote, turn on the printer by manually pressing the on/off button and many more. It won't work on electric devices which have no 3 pin plug such as neon bulb, ceiling fan and etc

[@joeroganpodfantasy42]

You need it blaster for that from xiaomi
