The Geeni wifi controlled outlet is just about as useless as all the other wifi enabled outlets on this cursed app (Im looking at you Gosund). Dont know why I bothered with this one.
Yes, it has 6 individually controllable outlets, but that doesn't matter when it CAN'T EVEN CONNECT TO THE APP. The first time I plugged it in out of the box it was smooth sailing. Unplugged it and tried again, then all of a sudden it can't connect at all. The app will find the device, but thats as far as itll get. I know its not a problem with my wifi either since it can connect to it. When using the on-board wifi to connect in "slow" mode, it'll connect, but boy good luck staying connected as it IMMEDIATELY boots you off. Also when trying to connect in slow or fast mode the device randomly turns on and off, even switching pairing modes which probably isn't helping.
Why'd I unplug it in the first place? Because the schedule system in it is absolutely ABYSSMAL. At first, only one of the outlets was turning off and on as scheduled. The other outlets would turn on as scheduled, but would NEVER turn off as scheduled. Eventually, BOTH wouldn't turn on or off on time. This is why I unplugged it, so I could maybe reset and connect to it. Well, you already know how it went trying to reconnect (surprise! it wouldn't).
Stay clear and read the RECENT reviews. All the consistently good reviews were from 2-3 years ago. I can't return it as I threw away the original packaging since I THOUGHT my problems were solved. In fact, save yourself the time and money and just forego any wifi outlets in general. Buy yourself a manual outlet timer if you really need it. This thing is now reduced to being a $30, regular outlet with no wifi controlled capabilities.
