Nooie Smart Plug Alexa 13A WiFi Plug with Remote Control Bluetooth Smart Plugs that Work with Alexa and Google Home Smart Home Alexa Plugs with Voice Control 2.4Ghz Only 4-Pack

After reading the reviews I had mixed thoughts about the set up process, - I've got bulbs and plugs from several manufacturers so I really wasn't looking forward to this with my pack of 4 plugs. Well in all fairness it was easy as long as you followed the steps. 1. Install the nooie app (I used the barcode on the instructions) 2. Create an account with your email address and choose a password. Wait for the 6 number code to arrive to complete your account 3. Set your phone to bluetooth connection 4. Have your wifi password ready to insert 5. Click 'Add a device' then plug in the first plug and wait for it to find it (this took around 20 seconds) 6. Once the device appears, change its name to whatever you like (I chose 'plug 1') 7. Click 'Appliance' and 'add device' to add anymore plugs you may have. That's all your plugs ready for use through the nooie app. One tip - I wrote in pencil on each plug so if they got mixed up I would know what they were called. Connecting to Alexa 1. Open Alexa, at the bottom click the 'more' tab and select 'skills & games' 2. Search for 'nooie home' 3. You'll need to install it with the email address and password you used when you set up your nooie account 4. make sure your nooie plugs are plugged in then click 'search for new devices' in Alexa 5. Click each one to set it up in Alexa and add it to a room if you wish That was it. No problems, no uninstalls or repeats, everything worked perfectly first time. The plugs themselves are smaller than the TP ones I have and seem to be robust and easy to look at. I'll definitely be ordering more of these in the future. A great find at a good price. Update 06/06/23 I bought 4 more of these plugs as they are so useful. I've had issues recently with my router and a couple of power cuts. When this happens my smart bulbs stop working and I then have to try and figure out how to get them working again. The smart plugs however worked as soon as the power came back on. That's when I decided to get rid of the smart bulbs and plug the lamps into a smart plug with ordinary bulbs. Now I just command the plug to switch on the lamp. Exactly like before without the faff of setting up smart bulbs from many different suppliers all needing a different app. Now its just Alexa and Nooie. It was a breeze to add these new plugs to my existing collection (I pencil a number on each plug so I can keep track). There was an issue with one of the new plugs not working so I emailed the nooie customer service and they got back to me within a few hours, even over bank holiday. Within a few days, the new plug arrived in the post and is working fine - great customer service from nooie. I'll have no hesitation in ordering more from this company.

These are nice looking, well made and well packaged plugs that were easy to install and work well with Alexa, despite being very reasonably priced. The installation process did pop up some Chinese text at one point but it seemed like a device ID or similar and not anything important. The Nooie app is easy to navigate and has the usual timer/schedule features, but I expect most people will ignore the app after setup and only ever use them through Alexa/Google Home etc, which let you set devices to come on 20 minutes before sunset and so on. The only issue I had was due to an Amazon limitation, not the fault of Nooie in any way. Our three Echo Dots were originally set up on my wife's Amazon profile, and saying "Alexa, switch to William's profile" only affects the device you are talking to, not the whole home as I assumed. For a couple of days I was wondering why two out of three of our Echo Dots didn't recognise my new plugs or the "Office" room I'd set up, and I had to come out of the office to work the office lights. All I had to do was tell the other two Dots to switch to my profile. I do wish Amazon allowed you to share skills/devices/settings with another household member, or nominate administrators, as my wife isn't technically minded and struggles with this kind of thing, which meant it was several months before I got my new plugs working, and my wife's profile is now rather useless. But as I said, this is an Amazon limitation that applies to all devices equally.

I ordered 2 packs of these (8 plugs in total) for various devices around my home. I've been thinking of getting smart plugs for a while for lamps and fans around my home, but with Xmas decorations going up, I plumped for these. As with every year, xmas lights were all plugged in behind furniture and a nightmare to reach behind things to turn on and off, so being able to ask Google to do it was, and is great. Installation was fairly straight forward using the nooie app - but, it asks you which type of nooie account you want to use. There is no explanation in the box about which one you need to use. One of the account types is for smart plugs, one is for other device types. Having now set them all up I can't remember which of the two I needed to select, but my advice is to recognise that during setup you may find that it doesn't give the option to connect smart plugs - if this is the case simply go back and choose the other type of account. Connecting to Google Home was simple - again, as with before, when you try to connect your nooie account to google home in the app, you have two nooie account options. You need to select the correct account type. And also, in the login box there is a dropdown for location, make sure you choose the same location you entered when setting up your nooie account otherwise your login will fail (I fell for this). Once you've connected google home to your nooie account you don't need to look at the nooie app (I assume the same goes for Alexa). All in all, a great product that's easy to use Only issue now is that, after Christmas, I have spares ;-)
