This product by far is the best I have ever seen!! Yes I was skeptical at first, but as I started using the items added on to Alexa it’s just phenomenal. No membership fee no service fee no charge. I can access my home lights radio thermostat light bulbs TV anything in the house home or away is just wonderful. I can monitor my house when I’m not even home. I can turn on or off any device in the house through a timer, scenario, asking Alexa, or by the app on my cell in where in the world. When I’m heading home from a trip? I can tell my app to turn on the central heat and air and set temperature to what ever setting. Then when I get home, it’s all toasty in the house. I love it it’s just wonderful plus a bonus feature is it plays as a security system if a fire alarm goes off? It notifies my phone if someone breaks in the house it notifies my phone what a wonderful system someone has created. I just love this product. It works well with my Alexa, I can ask her anything she will turn on or off any device in the house. Now they need to figure out how to make a device to bring you a beer??

I have Gosund smart switches, smart plugs, and smart power strips all throughout my house; about 20, in total. They all worked great for several years, as did the app that controlled them. They still work with Alexa and I can manually turn them on or off with Alexa or the app. Since the last couple of software updates, my schedules and routines still appear in the app but they no longer initiate. Also, when I am away the app does not accurately show me what lights and switches are on or off, nor does it allow me to reliably control them remotely. I would have give. This app and these products six stars, if that had been possible, when everything worked. I adopted the Gosund products early on, when it wasn’t clear which products would endure. I bought Gosund because they didn’t require a HUB and their products and app were advanced at the time. If you only want to use this app and their products while you are at home, and control the switches through your HUB, their products might appeal to you, however, if you plan to control your lights remotely or want them to turn on or off on a schedule, this might not be your best choice. Until such time, when they update the app to hopefully bring back all of its functionality, I cannot recommend it.

I have been using this app for a couple of months now and I absolutely adore that I could turn on my lights without having to get up out of bed or turn off the lights from my bed via my Alexa and everything was perfect until a few days ago, we did have a couple of power outages, but now it isn’t connected and it said it’s not able to connect. I’ve tried three different times and I’ve reset everything and deleted the app and reinstalled it and it’s still not working. I’m hoping that I could get some help and someone could possibly walk me through how to reset it because the lightbulbs are not even two months old so surely they can’t be blown out already. Kindly respond. I already submitted a request for help as well as left my email and phone number thank you so much but other than that, I give this item 5 stars for sure and I absolutely love the app!
