Ian said it well. I couldn't figure it out initially; but after my son set it up, I was able to modify the timer settings.

I use it for lamp switches, not the wall switches that are also available. The system works well once set up. The Kassa app is ok if I remember rightly. You don’t really need it at all once you are set up properly as it all works through Alexa. I vaguely remember that initial set up of the plugs and pairing with wifi was a bit tricky. I used sighted help with this as I had to know which lights were flashing on the units. The Kassa app is fairly accessible but again it was a lot more efficient to get sighted help for creating groups. If you can have some working eyes around for the set up I thoroughly recommend them. Amazon often has a deal on the smart plugs, but I don’t know about the wall switch side of things.

I am more interested in the light switches since my retail store has two floors and upstairs all the lights are controlled with 4 switches. Often during the winter especially after Christmas there is not so much traffic upstairs so having all these lights off would probably make a bit of a difference in electricity use, but it’s too much of a pain in the neck to run upstairs and turn them off only to run back upstairs behind a customer who goes up and turn them all on. These switches work with Alexa and I assume there might be a way to group them so if I put an Alexa Dot downstairs by the register whoever is working could just say “Alexa, turn on the upstairs lights” if they notice somebody goes up. Of course once the lights are connected and set up it may not even be so necessary to use the app for myself if I can just tell Alexa. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
