the power bar is not flashing, though it is on. The light is on, I have the long power bar, I have tried to use this before, but I was confused and I think I broke it. Help pls Just to clear it up, im trying to connect it but its not flashing its on, the light is on but not flashing. Edit : I got the big button that could be pressed to be flashing slowly, not too slow though. Its more of a moderate speed. Its not quick like shown, but not slow like shown. I refer to the app when I saw shown btw.
Thanks for watching! I've been very happy with the single Outlet controllers. However the multi-outlet strip has been finicky for me so far. It went offline once and I had to re-register it. :-)
The spot round plugs could I use them on multiple phones? I got one for my church to use and wondering if I could use it both on my phone and someone else's phone?
you know, I don't know if two different people can run the Geeni app and address the same set of SPOTs. But, this might help. I've noticed that I see the GEENI products in my Google Home app.... so, I'm pretty sure more than one person can show a single "home". just and idea. :-)
So the plug works on my 1st TV but on my second TV it turns it on in standby bye mode won't actually turn on the screen...is there a trick or an update fix
Oh, i guess the TV software (or setting would determine whether to come on in Standby or fully turn-on once it senses power in the outlet. Interesting... hadn’t thought about that. 🤔
Nancy, i can control my smart outlet from anywhere using the app (so long as I have internet access). I wonder if you could have some kind of security restrictions on your router.
This product is absolute garbage imo Edit: It wasn’t connecting for me at all. Was 10 feet to my wifi router. I tried multiple ways and times to connect but no success. It would always timeout. The fix? I changed plugs, went and plugged in a different outlet farther from the wifi router and it synced. I then went and re plugged the geeni in the original outlet and it worked as I had originally hoped.
I can understand if you’re having a bad experience. Sometimes it goes like that. Personally, I’ve had good luck with these and find them useful. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Your video achieved in minutes what 2 hours of frustration did not. Thank you!
aww... that sounds frustrating! Glad the video helped some. :-)

great review! I like the lights they have so I am really interested in these too for turning the heater on and off during the winter! :)

How many watts does it use while is off on average?
not sure exactly, but it's got to be super low. If it was more than 0.5 W, I'd be surprised.

Is there one for a 220v ? I need one for an electric stove that i’m afraid they might forget to turn off every once in a while
I really don’t know. But if Geeni didn’t make one, I am sure it’s out there by some other brand.
These devices are not UL Underwriter's approval. I wonder how important about safety is that?
What is the max amperage these will handle?
So what is the wifi built in for I can't even access it
I can't get it to work outside of my home. Is this even possible?

Can you set timers
Yes, you can create a schedule in the app.
Thanks
