EIGHTREE Matter Smart Plug 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, Smart Plugs That Compatible with Alexa & Google Home, WiFi Plug w/ Remote Control, Timer & Schedule 2.4GHz Wi-Fi

TL/DR: Home Assistant Matter compatible, low price, DOES monitor current/power. Only limitation is that it is "only" rated for 10 Amps, not 15.I am expanding the entities incorporated into my blooming Smart Home, and as a typical Home Assistant user and electronics/ networking/ computer enthusiast, I'm always looking for a bargain. There are lots of smart plugs available on Amazon, and many of them don't have good specs listed in the description. I took a chance on these Eightree plugs based on the Matter advertisement. I am pleased to find them easy to add to my Home Assistant server, and put together a quick automation to keep my closets ventilated using some small fans. Each fan runs for an hour, three times daily, staggered so that only one is running at a time.The only issue I have had - and let's be clear, I only got these today, so not a lot of experience with them - is that when adding them to HA, the naming option went away after the first two. TBH, I think I did something, clicking back before it was ready, and causing it to default to the 'Smart Plug' name it was programmed with.So anyway, these are the cheapest Matter smart plugs I've seen, and since they DO monitor power, I'll order more of them! Highly recommend!

These are great. Matter integration was super simple.

These are BT but will load wiFi (whether you tell them to or not) on your Alexa system - but they work great - its just a little confusing when you are setting them up.

Only been about a week but seems to be working fine. The little booklet suggested scanning QR code and next to that suggestion was a QR code which didn't work at all. After reading it again and a little closer, the QR code is on the actual plug and all was good sync with Alexa with no issue so far. Would probably buy it again.

This was my first experience with a "Matter" plug- and it was great. It was easy to figure out how to pair with my Hubitat hub, and also to pair directly with my Apple Home Kit bridge (a Home Pod) and I can now control the lights I plugged into these with both my Google Home devices and my Siri devices.

I bought this set to use when we travel. I configured them in August and all four were easy to add to our Apple Home. Thank you Matter. I put them back in the box and pulled them out today 6 months later. Only one of the four connected to Home. The other three had to be reset and added to Home again from scratch. It wasn't a hard process and I wonder if they would have needed to be reset if they were used more often? Still it does not inspire confidence in their reliability. I have Meross plugs that don't have this problem.Update: Just returned from the 3 day trip and all of them lost their configuration again before we returned. This time it only took 2 days. Changing from 3 stars to 1 star. There is no point to buying these as they are not reliable even for a few days.

Smart plug works great. I have one in every room. Great product.

I moved to new state and the internet provider here doesn't let me split the bands into 2.4ghz and 5ghz, so the smart outlets I already owned are worthless. I bought these for their 5ghz capabilities.I was worried at first when I saw the box, which made it seem like these would only work with a hub for Alexa. I refuse to have one of those, and I couldn't find a way in the Alexa app to set these up without a hub. I was about to give up when I decided to try my SmartLife app that I've been using with my now obsolete outlets, and was pleased that they immediately connected and are functional without issue.
