Set Up And Working In 10 Minutes Using My Echo Dot
Reviewed in the United States on 24 August 2018
These smart plugs make any ordinary appliance smarter. I’ve wanted to try out smart plugs for a long time but just never got around to it until I gave in and picked up a 4 pack of the Teckin Smart Mini Plugs. At less than $10 each it was hard deal to pass up.Reviewed in the United States on 24 August 2018
Setting up the first plug took about 10 minutes and that included downloading the free Smart Life app, account registration, and adding the smart plug on the app. I set it up using a fan by my office desk just for testing.
Once it was working through the Smart Life app I opened up my Amazon Alexa app and added the Smart Life app to my Alexa Skills. It instantly recognized my new smart plug and I could then say, “Alexa, turn on my fan”. Like magic my fan turns on. Pretty cool :)
Here are the ways I’m using (and planning to use) my Teckin Smart Mini Plugs…
Scheduled Lights For My Fish Aquarium:
No more old school bulky outlet timer for my aquarium lights. With the Teckin Smart Plugs timer function I can schedule when lights come on and off.
Basement Space Heater:
Living in the midwest I know the mornings will be colder soon enough so I’ll want that basement bathroom space heater on before I head downstairs. I can simply say, “Alexa, turn on space heater” 10 minutes before showering. And if I happen to forget to turn it off when I leave home and can just open the Smart Life or Alexa app to turn it off.
Scheduling Outdoor Halloween Decorations & Christmas Lights:
In the past we’ve had to pull out that bulky outlet timer once again that takes up both outlet plugs. So if you have anything plugged into that outlet you’ll either have to move it, or have a big power strip that can be unsightly. I for one don’t like extra cords to trip on or to be an eyesore. A Teckin Smart Mini Plug only takes up one outlet plug so if anything is plugged in previously it can stay plugged in. Also, after running Halloween & Christmas lights for a few weeks you can see how much extra that monthly bill might be with the smart plugs energy monitoring capabilities.
Randomizing Lights On/Off:
During the holidays we generally leave town for a few days to visit family. Using these smart plugs with our living room lamp at the front of our home and a lamp in my back office makes it easy to schedule them to turn on and off periodically throughout the night to give the impression that someone is home. Just in case a burglar gets any bright ideas (pun intended).
Coffee Ready When I Wake:
Making my simple Black & Decker coffee machine smart :) Preparing the night before and scheduling the smart mini plug to turn on 15 minutes before my alarm goes off in the morning. Waking up to the smell of coffee may be more pleasant than a loud alarm. Plus, checking off one more thing to do from my morning routine is a plus.
Coming Home To A Fresh Smelling House:
Scheduling my essential oil diffuser to turn on daily for a few hours so I come home to a nice smelling house. You can buy a basic essential oil diffuser for less than $20 and set schedules on your smart plug for when you’d like it on/off. Otherwise you could shell out a hundred bucks for a diffuser that has scheduling capabilities. I prefer the less expensive route :)

Nice smart plugs
Reviewed in the United States on 29 October 2018
I received these Teckin smart plugs today. They came packaged nicely in a single box. They seem to be well-made plugs. As the mini plugs, they are the perfect sized plug and only take up 1 outlet. They have a red light that comes on when they plug is on. The app works great to control the plugs. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because of the way it works with Alexa (Echo). It, unfortunately, doesn't always work using Alexa. In some cases, I could say "Alexa, turn off table lamp" and I get an error message about it not responding, then I give the command again immediately after and it works. Sometimes I try over and over and nothing happens. They are very easy to set up and only take a couple of minutes. The downside is that you can only use 2.4GHz WiFi. So, if you use the same info for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, you will have to separate the 2 so you can connect with 2.4GHz as it won't work together...I tried! Other than the Alexa issue, I'm extremely happy with them. Will probably be getting more down the road if the issue with Alexa can be figured out.

Update: months later. Still working well. I have received nothing free for this review. All I know is. My router has five gig and 2.4 gig. I set my phone internet on the 2.4 gig and open the app and set up new socket.Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2019
Tip. One thing i found was they way i do the sockets is to go to the room my router is it. Set up a power cable so i can plug these in right next to it. A get a chair and sit. I have some whate twoe and a sharpy. I write. Family room lamp as an example. I plug it in. Make sure the light is bling and sit by them while its being set up. Then i use the app to make sure it works. Then i go to the Alexa app and make sure she sees it. I watch it turn on and off. It works. I unplug it and use it with the “family room lamp”. Wait a second. Test it. It works. I do everything I just did with the next one till I am done.
Its kinda normal with mass produced less expensive products that some may not work well or not at all. If you dont like it buy the plugs that are 30 each.
Old review.
Ok so I left a terible review, and i feel bad so i am changing it. I have a router with 2.4 AND 5 gig broadcasting. Not sure if broadcasting is the right word. But i was on the 5, and to use these you need 2.4. This is like the older or normal routers. We have some of the fastest internets in the country and it needs this upgraded router. So, i could not get these to work. So i though i threw them away, but actually forgot one was in the wall and i bought the Amazon brand and another brand. As I was setting the new onces up, they said make sure you are on 2.4 ghz, so I did. So i thought, heck ill try this one. Well, i did, and it set up well just like the others. So yes they work. Its fun.
Alexa Im ready for bed. all my lights go off, by fan turns on.
Alexa im ready to wake up. Lights go on, fans off, motivational music play list plays.
Alexa make me some coffe, the coffee maker i filled the night before turns on, so by the time i DO get out of bed, the coffee is ready to pour. I just used a cheap normal coffee maker, turn on the on button before bed. So cool.
