Plugue esperto de Houzetek SWA1 WiFi compatível com Alexa Echo

Cette prise fonctionne de la même façon que d'autres modèles ayant exactement le même look et qui utilisent également l'application eFamilyCloud. La configuration est simple. Possédant déjà des prises similaires, je peux dire que le fonctionnement est très simple, la fiabilité totale. ça fonctionne aussi parfaitement depuis la 4G, donc à l'extérieur de son réseau wifi local.
Pour l'utilisation avec google home (google home mini pour ma part) c'est un peu complexe à configurer:
Dans l'application Home du téléphone il faut choisir l'option ""contrôle de la maison"", puis cliquer sur le gros symbole + en bas à droite.
Il faut ensuite ajouter le service Smart Life
ça demandera alors tour à tour les coordonnées et mots de passe du compte google puis du compte eFamilyCloud créé tout au départ
Le téléphone demande alors l'autorisation de contrôler le ou les périphériques qu'on ajoute via Google. Il faut bien sûr accepter.
Pour finir Home demande à quel appareil/pièce faire le rattachement. C'est à dire quel google home mini va contrôler la prise par la voix.
Une fois que tout cela est fait, on dit Ok Google allume prise ou éteins prise, et ça marche :)
On peut aussi renommer la prise surtout si on en a plusieurs.

Attention si on ajoute une ou plusieurs prises ultérieurement, ça ne pose pas de problème pour eFamilyCloud mais ça en pose avec google home. Il faut alors dissocier le compte Smart Life puis le ré-associer (en redonnant tous les mots de passe et compagnie) pour que les nouvelles prises soient alors prises en compte aussi par google home.

Le mode d'emploi, en allemand et en anglais seulement, indique la procédure avec Alexa. Il n'indique pas la marche à suivre pour google home, d'où mon commentaire un peu long.

I got these to work with my Amazon Echo. Love it. The TP-Link Kasa app lets you assign names to each plug. The Amazon Echo app lets you group them. It is AWESOME. I have 4 of these plugs. 2 in my bedroom (my nightstand light and my wife's on the other) 2 in my front room (I have on 2 end table lamps. I named these lamps thing 1 and thing 2). I made 3 groups in the Amazon echo app. Group 1 I named Bedroom (My lamp and my wife's lamp). Group 2 I named Front Room (Thing 1 and thing 2 on this one) Group 3 I called the house. It has all 4 light on it. I walk in-house and an I say "Alexa turn on house lights" and she turns on all 4 lights. I say turn off My light and she does and leaves my wife's on. These are a must have with your Echo. Without them, it is like having a computer without a printer. Easy to set up too.

Works great. There were a few questions and incorrect answers posted here on using it for a surge protected power bar. No problems, however. One plug from a power back-up with a surge protector which is daisy chained to two power bars with surge protectors. Now a simple "Alexa, Turn my desk on" and I am ready to roll. Since my heavy duty power bar had no single on/off switch, this was a good benefit as I was stuck turning everything off one at a time. This plug I labeled "my desk" The plug has a 15 amp maximum load rating so no running your entire house off one plug. lol. However, to create what I now have with my desk using separate plugs for all my monitors, speakers, chargers, lamps would have required 8 plugs so the daisy chain was a considerable cost saving.

No cons. Works well.

I've been using this plug for about a month and it has worked perfectly each and every time I've used it from its own app (Kasa) and through Alexa. I have turned it on when I have been away from home through Kasa and the light was shining brightly when I returned home. The Kasa app is very easy to use; setting up the plug took a couple of minutes. Pairing with Alexa was a breeze. Just follow the simple instructions for both and don't plow ahead like you already know everything (then complain it's not intuitive). I plan to buy 3 more. Can't recommend this plug enough.

The plug isn't quite flush with the wall,the ubs plugs are great for those days when you've misplaced the plug attachment to your device charger (fyi ladies ... it's probably in your big purse),i wouldn't worry too much about that I have yet to get frustrated when plugging things in,if you use it with hair tools its great if you need to plug in a straightener and blow dryer without needing to unplug anything or shift the plugs around because they aren't setup to run into each other like most other power surge protectors
