Awesome Product But Took A Bit To Get Recognized On My WiFi

Elf Smart Plug by Eques - No Hub Required - Compatible with Alexa & Google Home (4 Pack)
Elf Smart Plug by Eques - No Hub Required - Compatible with Alexa & Google Home (4 Pack)

Pros: -App easy to use -Once connected plugs work amazingly -Connects to Alexa via skill, took 2 tries but the second time the discovery worked.

Cons: -Hiccups when initially connected them to Google WiFi Mesh Network. Needed to literally move as far away from any of the hub I could possibly get with the plug I was initiating.

Overall Review: The App is easy to use and the plugs work well once you get them connected to your wifi. It took me a bit of research to figure out why they weren't connecting to my Google WiFi Mesh network. These plugs operate on 2.4G only, not 5G. However after testing it looks like the mesh network defaults to 5G. I had to take my phone as far away from any of the hub as possible. So I took my phone and each plug down to my garage, farthest point from any of my hubs and was able to get each of the plugs to register. It sounds odd but it worked for me. Registering them anywhere else in the house caused nothing but failure. After that I was able to get the Alexa skill downloaded and hooked up to each of the plugs, works amazing now after that hiccup.
