Wi-Fi Smart Plug for Philips Smart Wi-Fi WiZ Wireless Connected Light Bulbs

I received the PHILIPS WI-FI SMART PLUG, WHITE about three weeks ago. I purchased a Phillips WIZ light bulb specifically meant to work with the WI-FI plug. I plugged the WI-FI device into the outlet and attached the living room lamp cord to the WI-FI device. I downloaded the app WIZ, and opened it up. I selected Livingroom, clicked on the + sign to add it. The next screen asked, ”Which type of device do you want to install?” I chose Light, and the next screen gives a prompt for the WI-FI password and I entered it. From there I paired the device with the lamp by turning the light On and Off, and On again. The app did not indicate the Light was paired so after trying it again, I tried turning the Light Off and On three times and it was working. I purchased a light bulb with multi-colors and tried each one of the different colors and scenes. So cool! I usually have my phone near me if I’m relaxing on the sofa or watching TV so the WIZ app allows me to use it to turn the light On and Off without having to touch the lamp. I am recommending this product as it is great for changing the light color from Daylight (bright white) to Cozy (warm yellow) to Party (changing colors) to TV time (purpley-blue) scene all without getting up off the sofa. Very nice. This WI-FI accessory plug paired with a light bulb meets my expectations and more. It is so much fun to have a color changing light bulb!

I was excited to get this Philips Smart Plug. I have several of my exterior lights set up on a similar platform and wanted to see if this was comparable. So far, it has done as advertised. I also like the ON/OFF switch on the side, in case you need to manually override the APP settings. The set-up took a little longer than I expected as it searched for the correct Wi-Fi signal. It may have been because we tried to connect to the 5.0 vs the 2.4 ghz signal. Once it found the correct signal it was easy to set up via the app. I don't have it set up with any other systems (Alexa or Google) as my phone listening in to my conversations is already too much! LOL. We currently are using on our stairway LED lights to illuminate at night for a set time. I would buy another Philips plug if I find another place to put one.

This is a great little wifi plug. I am a Google Assisstant user with a nest thermostate, nest wifi, several nest mini speakers, a google home speaker, a lenovo smart display (with google), lenovo smart alarm clock (with google), and wifi garage door openers. I was happy that this included Google integration and it has been seamless. I also like that it does not block the second outlet on the wall so I can plug another one in or I can plug something else directly into the outlet. Setup took less than 5 minutes to unbox, plug in, and get fully connected. You use the Wiz app to get it set up, but from there I was able to quickly and easily add the plug to my Google Home setup, choose the correct room, and tell the Wiz app what was plugged in to it. I have been able to turn the lamp on from every speaker in my house using a simple "ok Google, turn on the lamp" while in the correct room or "ok Google, turn on the bedroom lamp" from other rooms. I can also turn the lamp on and off using the Wiz app, Google home app, and using the lenovo smart alarm clock in the same bedroom. The only issue I have run into is sometimes someone will shut the lamp off from the lamp switch instead of using the above mentioned methods. Since shutting of the lamp switch makes it impossible to use the Wiz outlet, this is simply something we have had to learn and not an issue with the product.

I was disappointed to find out that this wi-fi switch doesn't interface with my smart home application. You have to download another app to control this unit. After finally getting it synced with the recommended app, it does work. There isn't any writing on the box or the ads that indicate which apps it works with. Installation is pretty simple, getting it linked up with the app takes a bit of doing.

I have really enjoyed this wi-fi plug so far. It was really easy to set up and comes with excellent instructions. The plug looks big but it does allow enough room for a second plug to be used on the outlet. However the second plug needs to be a normal plug and not a wall wart type plug. The app that comes with the plug is super intuitive and easy to use as well. You can turn it off and on from the app and even set a schedule.

This product it’s next level from PHILIPS ,very easy to use all u need to plug and play ,PHILIPS smart wi-fi plug very advanced through app ,just download the wiz connected app through App Store ,then set it up ,then plug your light or any device that works with 15 amp ,it’s not designed for heavy load device ,u can control it through your phone ,u can set timer too ,highly recommend,

If you don’t already have a smart light bulb, this will make any lamp a smart lamp. You can easily turn the light off and on from anywhere with the WiZ app on your smart phone. You can also program the light to turn on and off at different times for each day of the week. There are several programs that you can create on the app to make it look like you are home whether you are there or not. However, the main reason I got this was to turn our coffeemaker on in the morning so that it is ready when we arise. We have an analog (I think that’s what I mean) switch on our coffeemaker so you have to physically turn it on. The coffeemaker does not have a program feature. Again this is just one thing that you can do with it and it works great. It is fairly easy to set up after you download the app onto your phone. Just follow the prompts and you will have it connected in no time. Another good use would be for your Christmas lighting in the house. I am sure there are many other good uses if one would think about it. It works fine.

I am quite impressed with this Philips WIZ smart plug which makes any electrical socket in the home capable of running any light or gadget that is plugged into it. I own many smart devices but have never had just a smart plug. This instructions could not be any easier than they are. I downloaded the app, plugged WIZ into the wall and plugged in the lamp to the smart plug. I paired the WIZ to my Alexa in seconds and then asked Alexa to turn the lamp on and off. Bam !! Works as it should. Truly a fantastic plug.

Recently picked up two Phillips WiFi bulbs. Decided to try one of the Wifi plugs as well. These do not require a hub to run them like the Phillips Hue. They run from the application on our phone. They will still sync with a smart hub. I am able to control them using my preferred voice smart application at home. So far these wifi versions are working just as well as the z-wave outlet versions I have already. I think it is good having a couple different ones as you learn what works and doesn't work in your smart home setup. I am very happy with this purchase. I am currently using this plug to control some decorations we have set in the foyer for when friends and family come over. I no longer have to go reach behind the furniture to turn them on.
