First off, setting up this smart plug was a breeze. No hub needed – just plug it in, connect via the Geeni app, and boom, you're in control. I was skeptical at first, but it genuinely took me under 5 minutes to get my lamp connected.
I use it daily to automate my bedside lamp. 'Alexa, turn off the lights' has become my bedtime mantra. The scheduling feature is a game-changer – my lights now wake me up gently at 7 AM, no fumbling for switches.
The compact design is both a pro and con. It fits perfectly in tight spaces (great for my crowded outlet behind the TV), but as other users noted, you can't fit two side-by-side in a standard duplex outlet. A minor trade-off for the convenience.
While the Geeni app works flawlessly for basic controls, I did hit a snag trying to use the GPS-based automation. Like another reviewer mentioned, it only works when the app is actively open – not ideal when I'm juggling groceries at the front door.
After 3 months of use through Florida's humidity, it's held up perfectly. I'm now eyeing more Geeni products to expand my smart home setup – the reliability has won me over.
