You should now have a socket added in the list on your app for example ” Living Room Lamp (1)”, ” Living Room TV (2)” and so on. Once its connected you can then edit the name to that of the device you plan on plugging into this socket for example, Lamp, TV, Kettle, Washer Dryer etc, whatever you plan on using it for and then add the number of your socket. Now Plug your No1 numbered Smart Socket into a wall socket or extension socket and check to see if the light is blinking.Ĭonfirm that in the app and click next and you’ll see the app searching for your device.

Select the correct wifi and enter your password (once you’ve done this once the app will remember these details for everytime you add a new device. Select “Socket Wifi” and you’ll be taken to the Wifi page which should be showing your home network.
#GOSUND SMART PLUG PLUS#
(I’m presuming you’ve already set the app up at this point.)Īt the top right you’ll see a green dot with a plus symbol, click this and you’ll be taken to their product adding page. first make sure your connected the your home network and then open up the Gosund App. This will make things easier for you later if you swap things around. QUICK TIP grab a marker and number your sockets between the pins in our case we bought 12 so we numbered them 1-12. The router then puts out both 2.5ghz & 5ghz channels independently, which makes connecting these plugs to the wifi easy. Having read the reviews we were already aware that these sockets need to use the 2.4ghz frequency on your wifi, so I logged in to our router and switched the wifi to separate bands (it gets switched back after we finish installing). We’re just telling you our experience with these smart plugs.Ģ4hrs later our package arrived and we got ready to connect them all to our Wifi Network. If you look around you’ll see a lot of similar / identical looking products to the Gosund Smart plugs, but after some research we found quite a few negative reviews about these renamed copies, so we avoided them and chose Gosund’s round smart plug multi packs instead.īy the way, this Post is NOT Sponsored.
In the End for us, the Gosund products seemed to be good value, they look good, don’t take up much space, have the best reviews, a Free App with Energy monitoring and they also working with all the Smart Speakers.ĭon’t be fooled by the cheaper copies though. We’re quite fortunate at the minute with Smart plug prices having fallen considerably from their high average prices of around £40 – £50 each a couple of years ago, to much more affordable prices today of around £8 – £10 each, there hasn’t been a better time to invest in these great wee devices. If your trying to keep an eye on your power consumption there’s lots of ways to do it, but I like to make things do more than one job and that’s where Smart Plugs come in.
