Govee Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, WiFi Bluetooth Outlet, 4 Pack

This smart plug is useful for remotely controlling a lamp or an appliance, but its versatility grows if you have other Govee devices. First, you get the mobile app control, which works locally with a Bluetooth connection, and remotely from anywhere you have a data connection via WiFi and internet. The contacts are rated at 1500 watts, which means it is capable of handling pretty much any appliance that you can plug into it, including most space heaters. The energy monitoring is useful to not only to see usage, but also a great way to confirm that the device plugged into it is working properly. Got a heat lamp for the chicks? Checking the real-time current/power monitoring will tell you that the lamp isn't burned out. While I wish the logic automation that you can setup with this smart plug were a bit more versatile, it's usually adequate for most applications. Where it shines is when you have other Govee devices, mainly sensors connected in your app. For example, if you have a Govee temperature sensor, you can have the plug switch on a block heater when the temperature goes below freezeing (and likewise, turn it off if the temperature rises). This can be further conditioned to only run at certain times of the day and week. Add a Govee motion sensor, or remote button and you can have various lights switch on. The smart plug also works as a gateway for most Govee devices that are only Bluetooth and not WiFi enabled, extending the functionality and reporting of these devices. There's also the Alexa and Google integration, if you choose to control this through a voice assistant as well. Setup is generally quite easy, and it's apparent that Govee has been working diligently on this aspect over the years. The process is getting close to the experience of when you connect an Apple accessory to your iPhone, with automatic discovery and clear step-by-step prompts, when required. No frustrating steps of having to back out of the app to go change or pair something in your phone's settings. As for the control app, it's remarkably solid and sufficiently configurable to organize your devices. I haven't experienced and crashing. While some minor aspects of the UI could use some polishing, including a couple points of grammar in the English version, it works well and reliably. All things considered, these smart plugs are a great value, and offered by a company that has been around for some time now. I've used other devices, including previous generations of these plugs for several years and can't say that there's much of anything serious to be a true disappointment, maybe just a couple of refinements here and there.

While my Govee ecosystem may not be as robust as many others, they have continued to show their stuff just works and without as much cost as many others. I've gotten plenty of their lights and their hygrometers and when I bought a few lights that didn't have a way to turn off and on with smart home hardware, I started looking into smart plugs as I had bought some of Amazon's before. I just didn't feel like paying Amazon prices and while I'd seen other companies suggested, I already knew I was in the Govee ecosystem. The 4 pack comes in a nice little box with holes for the plugs and slide right out while the rest remain safely stored in the box. Installation is pretty straight forward. You simply plug it into the socket you are going to use, log into the Govee app and click to add it to the system. It directs you to press and hold the button on the side of the plug for a few seconds. The app quickly connected to the plug, prompting me to name the plug and everything was done. Alexa even automatically added it to my system without prompting me to do so and allowed me to add it to the selected groups. The plug seems pretty solid and has a nice look to it. I could have gone with the smaller circular ones, but I was curious about the energy monitoring, which while it wasn't entirely necessary, it's a nice little extra feature to have to see how much my light is using. Needless to say I'm quite happy with the plug and now have a few extras to use elsewhere around my home.

This 4-pack of Govee Smart Plugs has been a great addition to my smart home setup. I really like how easy they make it to turn almost any regular device into a “smart” one. Lamps, fans, small appliances—you just plug them in and instantly gain app control, scheduling, timers, and voice assistant support. Setup was quick through the Govee app, and they connected reliably over WiFi and Bluetooth. I use them with Alexa, and voice control works smoothly with no noticeable delay. The group control feature is especially useful for managing multiple plugs at once, which makes routines simple and convenient. One of my favorite features is the built-in energy monitoring. Being able to see real-time and historical power usage helps me understand what devices are actually consuming and where I might save energy. Another big plus for me is that these plugs can act as a gateway for Govee sensors (like temperature and humidity sensors). That means I can check my sensor readings remotely while I’m away from home, which adds a lot of peace of mind. It’s nice not needing a separate hub just to access that data. They feel solid, are ETL and FCC certified, and the compact design doesn’t block the second outlet in most cases. Overall, this is a very practical, feature-rich smart plug set that adds flexibility and insight to any home setup. Highly recommended.

These smart plugs were easy to set up and connected to Wi-Fi without any issues. The energy monitoring works well, and the app makes it simple to schedule devices and control them from anywhere. They work great with Alexa, have been reliable, and are an excellent value for the price.

PROS: * Easy to use, both the device and the app. * Doesn't ask for too much information when signing up for app. * Tracks some, but not all, of the essential energy information. * Shows energy consumption hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and for the past year. * On/Off switch on device, through app, or by voice. * Export feature to use with spreadsheets. * Can set a custom power alert to let you know if a device is using beyond X amount of energy. * Seems to work with other dashboards and smart home apps such as Alexa, Google, etc. CONS: * Almost all features, aside from on/off switch, require app and login, i.e. no onboard display. * Doesn't show peak voltage, peak amps or peak wattage to monitor spikes. * No place to input electric rate to show usage costs of a device. Have to calculate outside of app. SUMMARY It's alright and barring something going wrong I will likely keep this despite it not giving me all the information I'd like that some traditional wattmeters give you. What it gives is still useful and tracks energy usage hourly, weekly, monthly and for past year. The On/Off button on device, app and voice is nifty as we have a device with a faulty On/Off switch, so we now use this smart outlet to turn it On/Off easier. The On/Off switch is also great if you find you have a device that consumes electricity when idle and want to stop that wasted consumption when it's not being used. The "runtime" on the app mainly just shows when the smart plug is in an On state, not the runtime of the device using energy, so keep that in mind for devices that cycle On/Off like window ac units or are used sporadically throughout the day such as microwaves. For what you get, it's a good product. I hate to deduct a star but if they improve the app to show additional info and/or allow you to input your local utility rate, then I'll gladly give it 5 stars. That's why I say it's "almost perfect".

We just set up a little “movie night corner” in our living room — projector, lights, speaker — and every time we left the room I’d forget to turn everything off. That’s why I grabbed this Govee Smart Plug 2-Pack with Energy Monitoring, and it’s genuinely become one of those “why didn’t I get these sooner?” additions. 💡 Story: Smart Control That Actually Helps The first night we used it, I set one plug for the projector and the other for the lamp beside the couch. Instead of fumbling for switches or getting up mid-movie, I just told Alexa to turn the “movie theater lights” off — and poof. It feels simple, but kind of magical when it works every time. 📊 Energy Monitoring What sets this apart from basic smart plugs is the energy tracking feature. The app shows real-time usage and daily/weekly totals, so I can actually see how much power my projector or lamp uses. It’s made me rethink leaving certain items plugged in all day — little insights that feel surprisingly useful long term. 🔌 Smart Control These plugs work with Alexa and Google Assistant, and they connect over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth without needing a separate hub. Setup was quick, and syncing them to voice assistants was straightforward — no extra gear or complexity. ⏱ Timer & Group Features I’ve created simple schedules so the lamp comes on at sunset and turns off late at night. I also grouped both plugs as “living room electronics” so I can turn everything off with a single tap or voice command. That grouping is one of those tiny details that makes daily use smoother. 📶 Connectivity Requests from the app or voice assistant fire quickly — almost instantly. No lag or weird delays, which makes the smart experience feel reliable rather than flaky. 📦 Value for Money Getting a two-pack feels like good value, especially with the energy monitoring and smart features included. For relatively affordable smart outlets, these hit a nice balance between features and price. Very durable and looks super cool.

4.75 out of 5. I am an avid Govee user. The app can be quirky, but if you have a DIY mindset at all, these quirks are easy to overcome. This switch is great: immediately connects, works over both wi-fi and bluetooth, and has timer functionality. The app is being constantly updated to fix bugs and improve automation. Some quirks to mention: (1) TIMERS always work; AUTOMATION requires wi-fi. A primary reason I purchased a few of these was to reboot my entire wi-fi network regularly at 5am, including mesh nodes, router, and some switches. The Govee app (as of version 6.5.02/866.0) has recently been encouraging me to move many of my scheduled lighting timers to the newer automation feature which (can be a little difficult to find: Shortcuts Panel >> Upper-right icon (looks like 3 squares and a circle) >> Auto-Run). For consistency, I decided to move my switches to this same system. I noticed, then, that the switches would never turn back on. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that using the timer feature (Home >> Tap the Device >> Timer) will work regardless of connection status, while the automation appears to require wi-fi. Not at all a dealbreaker for me, but I could see this causing frustrated returns for people wanting to reboot their network with this product. The lack of clarity here in when to use timers versus when to use automation, added to the lack of clarity of the location of the Automation section, is the reason for the 0.25 star reduction. I would consider this a perfect product, otherwise. (2) The size is indeed a little awkward... For power strips. Other reviews mention that the shape of these makes it difficult to not eat up two outlets on a power strip, however keep in mind that these are not really designed for that usage. They're designed for use in wall outlets, for which they are a perfect fit. That said, this is not at all a dealbreaker for me.

I use this to control my dehumidifier with a corresponding Govee temperature/humidity sensor for more precise humidity. It does a great job logging the runtime and energy usage for months. It has dual connection of both WiFi and bluetooth so it's still controllable from home if for some reason there is a loss of internet.

very easy to set up and govee always connects well for us

I'll definitely be purchasing more of these Smart Plugs. The setup is extremely straightforward and simple. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about these little gems.

Good range. Has a automatically adjusting sun up/ sundown feature. Measures power consumption. Love it!!

Easy to setup as long as you have 2.4 ghz WiFi network

It works as advertised. I like it a lot. I can see how much power I consume so I can hold back and cut when I can.
