Thought it was a bit daunting to set up but after you have done it once it was easy as pie, now I find I can go into a room with my hands full and tell Alexa to switch on lights and tv ...really novel. having the usb outlet to power stuff is just a bonus others have not really thought of.

When i first had it working, it was great. Having renovation work done so electricity needed to be turned off periodically. Plug needed resetting. Wouldn't reconnect to my Google Home (GH). Had to delete and download the app again. So far I've had to reconfigure it to my GH twice, and just before I wrote this, I asked my GH to turn it off and yet again it won't connect. I'm just going to pay the extra money and get a hive plug or Philips. Don't waste your time and money on this.

The app is simple to use and register but when you do, make sure you register your phone number and email address. This will allow you to add the Alexa app later. Using an android you have to click on "AP Mode" in the top right corner which will then change the button at the bottom to say "Confirm indicator slowly blink" instead of "Confirm indicator rapidly blink". Once you do that connecting it will work. Then, connecting it to Alexa you have to add the right skill: When you search for "eFamily" there will be two results: "eFamily" & eFamilyCloud". Make sure you use "eFamilyCloud". Once you do this just follow the Alexa instructions and you will be fine.

There is a major safety issue with this design as it defaults to switch on after a power failure. So not to be used with heaters, electric blankets, etc. Wifi must always be on in order for this to work. Most users would have wifi on permanently although I do not. The control app works well and is easy to use remotely from any smart phone or tablet.

Very neat wifi controlled mains plug. Works well with Amazon Echo - very easy to set up. Nice feature is a USB power socket - in my case ideal for powering my Echo. Possible downside is that it defaults to ON after a power cut - could be a problem in some circumstances.
