Works better than expected.
I really like this power strip. I can program the 4 outlets individually and program each one. I needed this feature because we babysit for our granddaughter in another state once a week and I like to leave a light on (and off) when I’m away overnight. This is easily programmed via the app I downloaded. There is a very slight learning curve but not difficult. When I go away for an extended period of time I can change the program as needed. What’s nice about the program by app feature is that it’s NOT subject to program changes due to power outages. If the power to my home goes out the program continues normally when it comes back on. No more mechanical or electronic timers.Another plus are the USB charging ports (2) which are also programable, but not individually.This was touted by one of the sources I read which features products that are quite reduced for a short period on Amazon. Naturally, I saved about $10 when it was available.I should have bought a couple more.

Works marvelously, easy set up
UPDATE: after almost one year of use...this thing still works flawlessly! It has proven to be even more reliable than the Amazon smart plug. It is still as responsive as the day I got it. Just keep the dust off it.I bought this product before reading the reviews and almost returned it. Glad I didn’t. I have an Amazon Smart Plug along with this power strip and it works great. It set up pretty painlessly. It involves a few extra steps than setting up the Amazon plug, but it was still a breeze. I’ve encountered no issues with this after almost 2 months of use - it works like a charm and was exactly what I needed!Just for reference, I have pretty slow Wi-fi and the plug is situated at probably one of the worst possible reception points and still works great.You can change the name of each plug and Alexa recognizes the name changes. Super convenient!

Works with Smart Life App
The media could not be loaded. Yes, each outlet can be separately controlled. Yes, this works with Google Home. Here are some pointers:Neither Jinvoo nor Tonbux appears in the long list of supported product lines in the Google Home app. (I'm on a Pixel XL, Android 8.1.0 and the latest versions of all apps mentioned). So while I was able to register this device with my WiFi and control it from my phone, I couldn't link it to my Google Home Mini, because the brand wasn't selectable from their list.I was ready to send this power strip back, and I'm docking one star for the hassle factor in an otherwise perfectly fine new device.Here's how I solved the problem after trying everything within the Jinvoo app.1. Uninstalled Jinvoo app2. Reset the Tonbux power strip by unplugging it for a while.3. Installed the Smart Life app4. Paired it with the power strip (press power button for five seconds till the light flashes, enter a username and WiFi password, let it pair)5. Named the power strip and each of the four outlets (i.e., "4Way," "Lamp 1," "Lamp 2" etc.)6. In the Google Home app, went to Menu-->Home control and clicked on the big blue + to add devices.7. Added the overall power strip as one device, then added each of the four outlets as individual devices.After fiddling with device names for a bit, I had voice control over the lamps plugged into the four outlets.Then I went to add two separate smart plugs (different brand, Hey Go, which the Smart Life app also recognizes). This is where I encountered a serious flaw in the Google Home app: there's an endless list of supported product lines in Home control/Add devices, but once I added this Tonbux strip as a Smart Life device, Smart Life disappeared from that list.So I finished setting up this Tonbux power strip and proceeded to add the Heygo smart plugs, but nope: Google Home made me Unlink the Smart Life account first. Another hassle.Once I unlinked Smart Life, it reappeared in the list of selectable product lines, and when I selected it, there were my individual smart plugs as well as this Tonbux power strip and its separate outlets. I had to tell Google Home all over again which rooms everything was in, but fortunately the Home app remembered the nicknames I'd assigned to them ("Chair lamp," "table lamp" etc.) and I didn't have to re-enter those.I'm filing a bug report with Google today. Because I don't want to be unlinking my whole house every time I want to add one more plug somewhere.

Smart Life app or Jinvoo app
I've been trying to connect this to wi-fi for 2 days already, but it always fails. Followed every instructions: with/without AP. Even tried connecting without a network password and it still fails. Smart Life app or Jinvoo app, still fails. Seems like it's defected on your side. Y'all sellers should test out your items first before shipping them or else you'll just lose money from shipping it. I also received this item full of dust, no problem at all if it's functional. I'm going to return this product. Never again, would buy, from tonbux.edit: it was just my router that had a problem. Bought a new one and it works perfectly now. Was about to try it one last time with my new router before returning it, and it miraculously connected to the internet through the Smart Life app. For anyone who's having a problem not connecting, I recommend to check your router first before complaining. My only complain is that I received it full of dust. I won't take out a star for it, but nonetheless, a working device is great.
