I received the Blusmart 2 Pack WiFi Smart Plug at a discount in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Smart home devices are a lot of fun, right? Who doesn't love the idea of being able to operate your home remotely or program basic functions? So with that in mind I decided I would love to try this product out. I had a few ideas on what to do with the plugs, but none really panned out. I first tried the obvious-using the plugs to turn on lights. And they work just fine for that task, but I found the app to be very clunky and it just made turning on a light more work than it needs to be. Next, I tried using the plugs to turn on a heater in the back room when needed. And again, it works but the app is so clunky it makes it too much extra work to preform a simple task. The last idea I had was a really dumb one on my part- turning my wifi router on remotely. I know, that was a dumb idea. I have no excuses, it was just a stupid plan on my part. I always turn my wifi off when I leave the house so I thought I could use this to turn it back on before I get home, and then I realized that won't work for obvious reasons. Of course, the fact that I turn my wifi off when I'm not at home means the plugs are pretty useless for me in general. The plugs are also much more expensive than similar products. So, I can't recommend this product.
