Just got these Energizer smart plugs and wow – they're kinda life-changing? Being able to yell at Alexa to turn off my Christmas lights while cozy in bed is peak laziness (and I love it).

The setup was weird though. The app mentioned in the manual straight up didn't work for me. Had to download a DIFFERENT Energizer app (why??) before these little guys would connect. Super annoying 10 minutes of my life I won't get back.

Once working, they're solid. Scheduled my porch lights to make it look like I'm home when traveling – genius. But heads up: they absolutely need to be near your router. Tried putting one in my backyard shed and it became a very expensive paperweight.

Mixed feelings about durability. They feel sturdier than those sketchy no-name brands, but only time will tell if they last longer than my last set of smart plugs (RIP after 11 months).
