★★★★★ Great app for running home

★★★★★ Easy setup and unit works.

★★☆☆☆ This used to control my Estlink wall plug sockets but now even their connection with Alexa has gone. They can however work with the SmartLife app as detailed by Mark Venings review. To do so, plug in the Estlink plug and press & hold the power button in the middle for over 10 seconds (five seconds gets the red light fast blinking, 10 seconds gets the red light slow blinking). Once the red light is slow blinking, open SmartLife app, click the PLUS (+) in the top right hand corner and choose Socket (WiFi). Select your network and password and press Next. On this screen, it asks you to reset the device. (If the red light is slow blinking, no need to). In top right hand corner, change EZ mode to AP mode. Press next and follow instructions to link to Sockets WiFi - which will show as SmartLife****. The app then finds and adds the device and reconnects it to Alexa if the skill has been enabled.

★★☆☆☆ I am giving it 2 stars because it does work (only on my ios devices). My main device is my Galaxy Note series phone and it crashes on open EVERYTIME. I dont want to have to get my sons ipad or wife's iphone everytime i want to use the app.

★★☆☆☆ Installed app, app stops working immediately. Never had the chance to get the smart power strip working because the app won't work.
