Energizer Connect Smart Wi-Fi 6-Outlet Surge Protector, 6ft. Cord Length

I'm always looking for power strips to use in my home and this one does not disappoint. It's super interesting that you can use voice activation to turn on or off the electronics that are plugged into it. The installation process of everything was super simple and easy.

I love the concept and it would be nice to control shut off from my phone of devices. I could not however figure out how to hook up the device at all. I tried so many times and I tried different wifi networks. I also tried the troubleshooting guide but I still could not set up the product. I now use it as a regular powerstrip which is still nice and I like the product.

I recently tried this product and I love how convenient it is to use. The smart Wi-Fi aspect of the product made it a key for me to using it. Another great thing about this product is that it came with two USB ports which I found completely convenient. The USB ports were ideal for me because I use the strip behind my couches and I can conveniently plug up my cell phone to the USB port and not worry about needing a back piece for my cell phone. I would definitely recommend this product a family and friends.

So I have several power strips with wifi sockets that we don’t use for that functionality but I wanted to try this one with that functionality enabled. The app is okay. It is a little frustrating to require a username and password for every different brand of smart device, but the reasoning is understandable. Setup was not too difficult. It is nice that you can control each outlet on the strip individually from the app. That is a neat feature that can be useful in certain situations, like wanting to keep a light on a set schedule of turning on and off while on vacation (making people think you are hone) but also keeping the tv, streaming boxes, etc. outlets off to not draw any power while away from home. I had one instance where the device we were using cut off and had to be restarted. I have no idea if this was due to the power strip or something else, but it did not seem to harm anything. Highly recommend this if you need a power strip with the ability to control each socket individually. If that is not needed, you may be able to get more for the price using a more standard surge protector from Energizer.
