Gosund 4+

This is not a sponsored review:
I have the gosund plugs and I’ve just purchased the bedside lamp (just brought 1 as I wanted to see what they were like before I brought another)
I find all the products easy to set up
(NB: you must have 2.4mhz WiFi enabled, most modern WiFi routers will transmit both 2.4 & 5 just make sure the device you have the app running on is connected to or has access to the 2.4 of it will not work!!!)
Once you have your device(s) set up and named, “Alexa” will be able to ‘see’ them, from there you can use Alexa to control each device individually by name or set up a routine, for instance I have ‘Alexa, we’re going to bed’ routine which switches off all the lights and TV downstairs and turns the bedroom light on…. I also have one for Christmas to turn the lights off/on and have timers set in the plugs Etc. It all just works been very impressed by the customer service as well, quick to respond to emails and products brought via their App (you get special offers in the app) have shipped within the week of ordering.

Incredible app. To mention my favourite - my kettle boils 1 minute before I get out bed! Came in very handy while I was away so I could put a fan and dehumidifier on for air circulation, which prevented damp and mould. Really useful for monitoring electricity usage as well. Only thing that I would absolutely love is a way to extract all of the kWh information including how long the device was drawing this electric on a 24 hour basis. I can see it on the current day but would love to export all of this information! (It’s not a negative that I can’t, it would just be an added bonus)

Thank you so much

I was at a friend’s house and she pulled out her iPhone, swiped to the Control Center from her lock screen and turned a lamp on from her phone... I thought it was pretty cool so I ordered a smart plug for myself.

However, I made the mistake of not ordering the same brand as hers, as when my Gosund plugs arrived and after (some time) of trying to synchronise the plugs, I realised I couldn’t access the toggle switch as a shortcut from my Control Center!! Ok, so I could go into the app and do it from there, or save a link to my home screen, but after a week of trying it this way it wasn’t working out. So I returned the device, deleted the Gosund app and asked my friend to recommend me the brand that she purchased. Sorry Gosund, I tried, but without this feature this app is not for me!
